Accounting and billing platform with webhook
Ay,
I was trying paddle.com which is a platform managing your bills, payments, ... and can send events with webhook. It was what I'm looking for : being able to call endpoints from billing events (new customer, product buy, ...).
Do you know other solution than paddle.com ? I'm stuck right now because I'm using endpoints which are protected by API Key in header and paddle.com don't allow me to add headers to my webhook.
So if you know other platform like that ping me !

@KrustyHack, I believe you can give Pabbly.com a try.

Ay,
I will maybe give a try with your Billing module.
Thanks !
Maybe you could build a small proxy endpoint that takes the webhook request and converts it into a header-authenticated request. That way you can use any of these :)
this is the solution and keeps the API key on your control.
Ay,
If I can avoid managing another layer of infrastructure or softtware it would be great.
Technically it's not a problem for me to add a proxy or something else. But I want to be the simpler possible.
The less infrastructure or software I have to manage, the better.
I'm already managing all days long infrastructure or software at my work so if I can avoid it the week-end it would be nice ! :p
Hey Nicolas,
Would love to hear more about your use case, more specifically how important is it that you need webhooks.
I'm asking because I built a spreadsheet-based accounting software at www.wekeep.co to avoid having to do integration work between an accounting software and your backend. It's working pretty well especially at the early stages of a startup where using spreadsheets is still just as good or even more efficient than spending lots of time on integration.
The assumption is that your backend data is likely somewhere in your database base and you probably export it to csv somewhere, so all you need to do is then copy/paste it into WeKeep.
Happy to have a private chat to understand your needs better.
Ay,
My needs are "simple" I think. I want to easily create checkout pages with several payment gateway where my customer can make an order and then I receive an event which trigger one or several webhooks.
Actually ChargeBee, Paddle, Stripe, ... allow it BUT my webhooks endpoints are AWS Lambda protected by API Key in header and ChargeBee, Paddle, ... doesn't allow me to send headers when I call my webhook.
That's my first problem. After that, there is price problem.
I see, I might have misunderstood because you mentioned "accounting platform" in your title, but looks like what you're looking for is much earlier in the workflow (recording payments from purchase events). Was hoping I could help!
Ay,
Aw yes sorry maybe my english is not very correct ! :/
For accounting I use an external service.
Here my need is really focus on creating product plans and get subscriptions from user, then send webhooks to my backends (to deploy a server for example).

Ay,
Yes but same problem than with other platform : webhooks can't handle custom headers.
And I don't want to be stuck with one payment gateway. Many of my customer want Paypal, other want Credit Card, other use Bank transfer, ... :)
