# Webhook Configuration
### What is a webhook?
Webhooks allow Stripe to send notifications to your website when certain events occur. For example, if a payment is refunded in Stripe, Stripe can automatically send a notification to your webhook to let your website know.
### How to setup a webhook?
To get the endpoint URL, go back to the **Setting** tab in your WordPress dashboard and you should see a field labeled `Webhook URL`. Copy the URL or click the copy icon.
Paste the endpoint URL into the dialog box in your Stripe dashboard.
1. Open the [Webhooks](https://dashboard.stripe.com/webhooks) tab in Workbench.
2. Click **Create an event destination**.
3. Select the Your account tab.
Add the below events to listener
```
checkout.session.completed
checkout.session.async_payment_succeeded
checkout.session.async_payment_failed
checkout.session.expired
payment_intent.payment_failed
payment_intent.succeeded
payment_intent.amount_capturable_updated
payment_intent.requires_action
invoice.payment_succeeded
invoice.payment_failed
```
### Enable Webhook signatures (Strongly recommended)
Generating a signature for the webhook can greatly protect your endpoint from being abused by external parties.
In your Stripe dashboard, go to the webhook settings and click the `Signing secret` button to generate a signature.
### Webhook Connection Test
First of all, let's do some payments with our plugin under test mode, then go to the webhook URL and find any events such as a payment\_intent.succeeded. Now click the `Resend` button to trigger the event again.
If the response is 200 (OK), our plugin will process the event and display a connected status in the Webhook URL field.
