Testing locally

For local development, use the Stripe CLI to forward webhook events:
This will output a webhook signing secret that you can use as STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET during development.
The Stripe CLI is the easiest way to test webhooks locally. Install it with brew install stripe/stripe-cli/stripe on macOS.
