Webhooks

• If you want to listen to events (customer activity) happening on stripe, refer to the documentation here. This can be useful when you want to take some automated action based on the customer's activity.
• This also includes details on how to test the webhook locally by connecting it to the "test" mode in stripe dashboard. This can be done by

  # 1. launch the listener locally
  python -m mylib.webhooks.stripe_events_listener.api
  
  # 2. redirect the dashboard output to this local listener endpoint.
  stripe login
  stripe listen --forward-to http://localhost:8000/stripe_webhook

• Then when you trigger any event on the test dashboard, it will call the local listener.
