See it live, not frozen

One click creates a free capture bin with this exact payload already in it — pretty-printed, headers inspectable, replayable to your own endpoint:

Then paste the bin's URL into Stripe's webhook settings to capture a real delivery. No signup.

Things that bite people

This is the canonical "fulfill the order" event for Stripe Checkout — but check payment_status: with delayed payment methods the session completes with payment_status: "unpaid" and a separate checkout.session.async_payment_succeeded arrives later.
metadata you set when creating the session comes back here — the standard way to correlate a session with your own order ID.
Line items are not included; fetch them via GET /v1/checkout/sessions/:id/line_items if you need them.

Send it yourself

Reproduce this delivery against any endpoint (your handler, a bin, staging):

$ curl -X POST https://your-endpoint.example/hook \
  -H 'content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8' \
  -H 'user-agent: Stripe/1.0 (+https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks)' \
  -H 'stripe-signature: t=1787961600,v1=8a4d2f9b1c7e5a3d0f6b8c2e9a5d7f4b1c8e6a3d9f2b5c7e0a4d8f6b3c9e5a2d' \
