Title: Webhook Nightmare Last modified: November 5, 2025 --- # Webhook Nightmare * Resolved [mariasangria4ever](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mariasangria4ever/) * (@mariasangria4ever) * [7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/webhook-nightmare/) * Hi everyone. I have been trying to fix this issue for days. Just go round in loops and never actually gets solved. Please help. I have added PMS to work within woo commerce (and had woo payments) I’ve gone through all the steps and trouble shooting to connect the webhooks with no success. Live payments are enabled. APi is active. In set up progress screen it says I still need to complete step 7 – to intergrate with woocommerce. I have run the wizard to no effect. It told me to paste a secret key but for the life on me, there is no spot in my set up to do that. Under settings everything looks good except for the webhooks which say waiting for data. I read that this could be waiting for an actual transaction and have tried via sandbox but the payments are unsuccessful with the “test cards”. I have used chat gpt. I have read the support topics. I have read the support here but am at a loss. I don’t want to use a real CC to test it. Can anyone possibly offer some direction please. I don’t think I need to make products in woo commerce for this plug in to work and sell subscriptions?? * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwebhook-nightmare%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) * Plugin Support [alexandrubodea](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexandrubodea/) * (@alexandrubodea) * [7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/webhook-nightmare/#post-18709168) * Hi [@mariasangria4ever](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mariasangria4ever/), * Exactly, you do not need to create products in Woo in order for the plugin to work. * With our plugin you can sell [subscription plans](https://www.cozmoslabs.com/docs/paid-member-subscriptions/subscription-plans/) on your site while using our [Registration form](https://www.cozmoslabs.com/docs/paid-member-subscriptions/shortcodes/#Member_Registration_Form) through payment gateways like [Stripe](https://www.cozmoslabs.com/docs/paid-member-subscriptions/payment-gateways/stripe-connect/), [PayPal](https://www.cozmoslabs.com/docs/paid-member-subscriptions/payment-gateways/paypal/), or the [Manual/Offline](https://www.cozmoslabs.com/docs/paid-member-subscriptions/payment-gateways/manual-offline-payment/) payment gateway.  * The Webhooks status should be automatically changed from “Waiting for data” to“ Connected” after you have the first **completed **payment on your site. * Now, to go deeper inside this issue: 1. What do you mean exactly by “the payments are unsuccessful with the test cards”. Do you see an error message when purchasing the plan, or how are they unsuccessful? 2. Could you please go to your site’s Dashboard -> Plugins -> Installed Plugins- > and send a screenshot with everything you have installed related to Paid Member Subscriptions (make sure the plugin version can be seen)? 3. Could you please go to your site’s Dashboard -> Paid Member Subscriptions -> Settings -> Payments -> Gateways -> and send a screenshot from there (please make sure all the settings from that page can be seen)? 4. Is this the page where you encounter this issue: [https://takemetosummer.com/register/?subscription_plan=13216https://](https://takemetosummer.com/register/?subscription_plan=13216https://)? * **Note:** You can use a site like [https://snipboard.io/](https://snipboard.io/) to share the screenshots. * **Note 2: **Since this is a public forum, please make sure all sensitive/private information is hidden/blurred from the screenshots. * Thread Starter [mariasangria4ever](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mariasangria4ever/) * (@mariasangria4ever) * [7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/webhook-nightmare/#post-18710805) * Good morning. Thank you for the response. I have attached the screen shots requested. When I mentioned “test cards” they are the test numbers that stripe offers to test payments. I am trying to put a live payment through but the payment area isn’t loading. Im going in via incognito mode. Not sure if there is a conflict as it just won’t load for me…also wont allow screenshots. Not sure if I attached the screenshots correctly?? * [file:///home/chronos/u-84029c9ae5aa2b6a1df6b6ad98d5a61a4be9bef0/MyFiles/Downloads/Screenshot%202025-11-07%209.07.53%20AM.png](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/webhook-nightmare/?output_format=md) * [file:///home/chronos/u-84029c9ae5aa2b6a1df6b6ad98d5a61a4be9bef0/MyFiles/Downloads/Screenshot%202025-11-07%209.06.06%20AM.png](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/webhook-nightmare/?output_format=md) * Plugin Support [alexandrubodea](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexandrubodea/) * (@alexandrubodea) * [7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/webhook-nightmare/#post-18713241) * Hi [@mariasangria4ever](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mariasangria4ever/), * Unfortunately, we can’t see the screenshots you’ve shared. Please use the following site: [https://snipboard.io/](https://snipboard.io/), to upload them and share the link specific to each screenshot. And regarding the first screenshot I’ve asked for, please send a screenshot with all plugins you have installed on your site (not just Paid Member Subscriptions). Maybe there is a conflict with a plugin, and we can spot it directly what that plugin is. * Again, since this is a public forum, please make sure all sensitive/private information is** hidden/blurred **from the screenshots. * Now, regarding the testing cards, I assume you’re referring to the following test cards: [https://docs.stripe.com/testing#cards](https://docs.stripe.com/testing#cards). These cards only work while the plugin is in [Test Mode](https://www.cozmoslabs.com/docs/paid-member-subscriptions/settings/payments/#Test_Mode).
