# Stripe Trigger

[Stripe](https://stripe.com/) is a suite of payment APIs that powers commerce for online businesses.

## Webhook authentication <a href="#webhook-authentication" id="webhook-authentication"></a>

From n8n version 2.25.7 and 2.26.2, the Stripe Trigger node can verify that incoming requests genuinely come from Stripe. When you set a **Signature Secret** on your [Stripe credential](/integrations/builtin/credentials/stripe.md), the node checks the `Stripe-Signature` header on each request and rejects any request that's unsigned, forged, or more than five minutes old with a `401 Unauthorized` response. n8n doesn't run your workflow for rejected requests.

Without a **Signature Secret**, the node doesn't verify incoming requests, so anyone who knows your webhook URL could send forged events. n8n strongly recommends setting one. For setup steps, refer to [Verify incoming requests](/integrations/builtin/credentials/stripe.md#verify-incoming-requests).
