- !Checkout succeeds but access is never updated
- !Stripe payments arrive but the app does not unlock features
- !Subscription state stays stale after payment
Why this happens
The checkout flow is fine, but the webhook endpoint is missing, misconfigured, or not receiving the right Stripe event types in production.
Fix
Verify the webhook endpoint in Stripe
Open Stripe Dashboard → Developers → Webhooks and confirm the production endpoint points to your deployed app URL, not localhost or a preview URL.
Check which events are enabled
Your app usually needs checkout completion, invoice payment success, and subscription update events. If Stripe is not sending them, nothing changes in your database.
Make Lovable persist the update
Ask Lovable to update the webhook handler so it writes the payment result into Supabase and changes the user''s access state explicitly.
Prevent this next time
A successful checkout is not the same as a successful webhook. Always test the full post-payment state change, not just the payment form.
Frequently Asked Questions
Because Stripe checkout can complete successfully even when the webhook that updates your database never runs or fails silently.
Usually subscription status, credits, premium access, order records, or any feature gate tied to payment.
