Stripe and Chromoly: Verify Payment Events Before Updating Records
Keep payment confirmation tied to verified Stripe events. A successful browser redirect is useful navigation, but it is not payment evidence.
Before connecting
This is an integration design guide, not a claim that a ready-made connector is enabled in every app. First check the connection settings available in your app. If the required receiver, authentication or action is missing, scope that implementation with Chromoly before sending production events. Chromoly does not offer a public REST API.
Provider requirements
Stripe documents signature verification, repeated deliveries, retries and event-ordering considerations. A receiver must account for these when updating business records.
Official sources: Stripe webhook documentation.
Implementation outline
- For Chromoly’s documented booking flow, create your own one-time fixed-price Stripe Payment Link matching the service.
- Use the webhook destination exposed by the booking app and configure its signing secret and test/live mode.
- Test a booking with matching payment reference, amount, currency and mode before enabling real payments.
- Treat subscriptions, general invoice synchronization or other payment flows as separate requirements unless their implementation has been confirmed.
Example workflow
The booking payment guide describes the supported flow. Refunds, disputes and tax decisions remain in Stripe. Cancelling a booking does not automatically refund its payment. Check Stripe and the booking record when an event’s outcome is uncertain.
Test the full delivery path
- Send a fictional event to a test destination and verify the resulting record, not only an HTTP response.
- Replay the same event and confirm it does not repeat a business action.
- Try an invalid credential or signature, a missing field and a temporary failure.
- Check both the provider’s delivery history and the app’s workflow history. Define who investigates missing events.
Frequently asked questions
Can a payment-link return page mark a booking paid?
No. The documented flow requires a verified Stripe event with matching booking, amount, currency and mode.
Is this a one-click native connector?
This page describes a connection pattern. Use only integration settings and actions actually exposed by your app, or agree the missing implementation with Chromoly before rollout.
