How do I simplify my Stripe webhooks?
Stripe Fires Events — You Have to Orchestrate the Chaos
Stripe is a Firehose
Stripe supports over 200 different webhooks events.
Billing isn't your core business
A quick implementation can quickly turn into a full team's roadmap.
A Full Solution Requires a Team
Your engineers should be focused on your product, not Stripe complexity.
The Problem: Webhooks Are a Full-Time Job
Stripe Alone
- You manually route events to custom handlers
- You write conditional logic for “if addon included, then…”
- You handle usage resets on invoice.finalized
- You coordinate Stripe’s lifecycle with your app’s state
- You deal with race conditions, retries, and missing context
With Schematic
- You receive clean, simplified events from Schematic (not raw Stripe events)
- We handle webhook verification, routing, retries, and deduplication
- You subscribe to lifecycle events: “plan upgraded,” “usage cap hit,” “trial expired”
- Schematic syncs your product state with Stripe automatically

Example Use Cases
- plan.upgraded → update UI + entitlements
- usage.limit.reached → trigger alert or modal
- invoice.created → reflect upcoming billing in app
- trial.expired → convert user or restrict access
Why it Matters
- Eliminate hundreds of lines of billing logic
- Ensure billing and product state never drift
- Simplify integration for frontend and backend teams
- Stay out of Stripe’s weeds and focus on real product value
