At Lawn Love, we naively coupled our listening code directly to the Stripe webhook... but it worked flawlessly for years. I wasn't a big fan of the product changes necessitating us switching from the Transfer API for sending money to the complicated--and very confusing for the lawn pros--Connect product, but its webhooks also ran without issue from the moment we first implemented them. So thanks for making my life somewhat easier, Mr. Krausz.

Like many others, I now pattern my own APIs after Stripe's.

Don’t fully thank me, I was also the architect of the Transfers API to Connect transition :). There’s a lot I would have done differently there were I doing it again, though much of the complexity (e.g. the async verification webhooks) were to satisfy compliance needs. Hard to say how much easier the v1 could’ve been given the constraints at the time, though I’m very impressed with the work Stripe has done since to make paying people easier (particularly Express).
