Stripe Webhook Delivery

Deliver Stripe events — charges, invoices, disputes, payment intents, subscription updates — to services behind your corporate firewall or NAT without opening inbound ports.

The Problem

Stripe sends webhooks to a public URL. If your billing, reconciliation, or fraud detection services run inside a private network — behind a corporate firewall, NAT gateway, or VPN — they have no public address. Stripe can't reach them directly, so you end up polling Stripe's API, running a public relay, or opening inbound firewall rules.

Why This Is Hard

Stripe's webhook signature verification (using stripe-signature with your webhook secret) is essential for security, but it only verifies that the payload came from Stripe — not that the delivery path to your internal service is secure. Most setups expose a public endpoint that receives the webhook, then proxy it inward, creating an additional attack surface.

How Zen Mesh Helps

Zen Mesh provides a Stripe-ready webhook endpoint that accepts events from Stripe and delivers them through an outbound-only tunnel into your private network. The Stripe signature is verified at the ingress plane before any payload reaches your network. No inbound ports, no public relay service inside your perimeter.

Stripe Template Pack

The Stripe template includes pre-configured defaults for endpoint setup, signature verification parameters, event type classification, and operational visibility — so you don't wire each field from scratch.

Runtime Path

1
Registry

Select the Stripe template from the Zen Mesh Registry.

2
Template

Apply Stripe defaults: endpoint URL, stripe-signature verification, event mapping.

3
Blueprint

Define which Stripe events route to which internal service — charges, invoices, disputes, etc.

4
Flow

Bind the Stripe endpoint, blueprint, and private target into a delivery flow.

5
Target

Point delivery at your internal billing or reconciliation service — no open ingress required.

Security & Evidence

Stripe webhook signatures validated at ingress. Delivery uses mTLS + HMAC on the data plane. Each delivery produces a tamper-evident receipt with hash-chain integrity. See Security for scope and maturity.

Current Status

Stripe templates are available as part of the Provider Template Pack (V1). Signature verification for supported provider templates is validated in local/sandbox. Free Forever and Pro Early Bird tiers include Stripe support.
