Prevent Double Payouts from Stripe Webhook Retries

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Stripe's at-least-once webhook delivery can cause duplicate commission payments if your handler inserts a row on every event. The fix is to store the Stripe event ID with a unique constraint so the database rejects duplicates. This approach is simple, reliable, and prevents silent overpayments.

Meridian48 take
