LemonSqueezy webhooks help you react to new orders, subscription changes, and refunds across digital product and SaaS sales.

LemonSqueezy Official Webhook Docs

1. LemonSqueezy Webhook Events

LemonSqueezy can send the following webhook events to your endpoint:

order_created
order_refunded
subscription_created
subscription_updated
subscription_cancelled
subscription_resumed
subscription_expired

2. Set Up a Test Endpoint with HookRay

Follow these steps to start receiving LemonSqueezy webhooks for testing:

  1. Go to HookRay and click "Start Testing — Free" to get your unique webhook URL.
  2. Copy the URL (e.g., https://h.hookray.com/abc123).
  3. In your LemonSqueezy dashboard, navigate to the webhook settings and paste the HookRay URL as your endpoint.
  4. Select the events you want to receive (see list above).
  5. Trigger a test event — HookRay will show the incoming webhook in real-time.

3. Sample LemonSqueezy Webhook Payload

Here's an example of what a LemonSqueezy webhook payload looks like:

payload.json
{
  "meta": {
    "event_name": "subscription_created",
    "test_mode": true
  },
  "data": {
    "id": "sub_281993",
    "type": "subscriptions",
    "attributes": {
      "status": "active",
      "renews_at": "2026-04-20T10:15:00Z",
      "user_email": "owner@example.com"
    }
  }
}

4. Common Issues & Troubleshooting

Webhook not arriving?

Check that your endpoint URL is correct and publicly accessible. LemonSqueezy cannot reach localhost URLs — use HookRay's cloud URL instead.

Getting 400 or 500 errors?

HookRay accepts any payload and returns 200 OK by default, so the issue is likely on LemonSqueezy's side. Check your webhook configuration and event selection.

Need to verify webhook signatures?

LemonSqueezy signs webhook requests for security. Use HookRay to capture the raw headers and body, then implement signature verification in your application code.

5. Next Steps

  • Use HookRay's webhook replay feature to re-send captured webhooks while building your handler
  • Enable smart parsing (Pro plan) to see LemonSqueezy-specific fields highlighted automatically
  • Check the LemonSqueezy webhook documentation for the complete event reference
