billing.payment_failed

A recurring charge against the creator's payment method fails.

Ability to subscribebilling:read

When this fires

A scheduled charge against the creator's payment method fails. The platform will continue to retry inside the grace window.

Caveats

  • Multiple billing.payment_failed events can fire for the same invoice_id as Stripe retries.
  • Repeated failures escalate through the grace window; see billing.grace_period_warning and billing.account_locked for that progression.

Related events

  • billing.invoice_paid: successful resolution.
  • billing.account_locked: terminal state if recovery doesn't happen.

Header Parameters

SB-Signature*string

t=<unix seconds>,v1=<hex>: the HMAC-SHA256 of "<t>.<raw body>" under the endpoint's secret. Verify it before acting, and refuse a t more than 300 seconds from now. During a secret rotation a v0= signature under the previous secret may precede v1=.

SB-Event-Id*string

The event's ULID, bare. The envelope's id is the same ULID prefixed evt_, so strip the prefix before comparing. Deduplicate on it: a retry carries the same id.

SB-Event-Name*string

The event name, the same as the envelope's type.

Content-Type*string

Always application/json.

User-Agent*string

Always Subscriby-Webhooks/1.0.

Request Body

application/json

The signed JSON envelope posted to your endpoint.

TypeScript Definitions
