How to Set Up LemonSqueezy Webhook Notifications with Webhookify

LemonSqueezy is a modern payment platform built specifically for digital creators and software developers who want to sell digital products, SaaS subscriptions, and software licenses without the complexity of traditional payment processors. As a merchant of record, LemonSqueezy handles payments, sales tax, VAT, and compliance globally, letting you focus on building and selling your product. Webhooks are the primary way LemonSqueezy communicates payment events back to your application -- new orders, subscription changes, license key generation, and refunds all trigger webhook events. With Webhookify, you can capture every LemonSqueezy event and receive instant, AI-powered notifications on Telegram, Discord, Slack, Email, or as a mobile push notification with a satisfying cash register sound for every sale.

This guide shows you exactly how to connect LemonSqueezy webhooks to Webhookify so you never miss a sale, subscription change, or payment event again.

Why Monitor LemonSqueezy Webhooks with Webhookify?

• Cash Sound for Every Sale: Webhookify's mobile app plays a cash register sound when payment events arrive. For indie hackers and solo founders selling through LemonSqueezy, hearing that "cha-ching" sound in real time is incredibly motivating and keeps you connected to your revenue.

• Subscription Churn Alerts: Get immediate notifications when a customer cancels their subscription or when a renewal payment fails. Route these alerts to Slack or Discord so your team can take action -- whether that means sending a win-back email or investigating a payment issue.

• License Key Monitoring: If you sell software with license keys through LemonSqueezy, Webhookify notifies you whenever a new license key is created or deactivated. This is essential for tracking activation rates and detecting potential abuse.

• AI-Powered Summaries: LemonSqueezy webhook payloads contain nested JSON with product variants, pricing tiers, customer attributes, and more. Webhookify's AI distills this into a simple message like "New order: Acme Pro License ($79) from jane@example.com" so you can read it at a glance.

• Multi-Channel Flexibility: Send sale notifications to your personal Telegram, subscription cancellations to your team's Discord channel, and refund alerts to your email for accounting records. Mix and match channels however you want.

Example Notification

When a new order is created in LemonSqueezy, Webhookify delivers a notification like this:

{
  "meta": {
    "event_name": "order_created",
    "webhook_id": "wh_01abc2def3ghi4jkl5"
  },
  "data": {
    "type": "orders",
    "id": "1234567",
    "attributes": {
      "store_id": 12345,
      "customer_id": 67890,
      "order_number": 1042,
      "currency": "USD",
      "subtotal": 7900,
      "total": 7900,
      "status": "paid",
      "user_name": "Jane Smith",
      "user_email": "jane@example.com",
      "first_order_item": {
        "product_name": "Acme Pro License",
        "variant_name": "Single License"
      },
      "created_at": "2026-02-21T14:30:00.000000Z"
    }
  }
}

Webhookify's AI summary would display:

New LemonSqueezy Order #1042: Acme Pro License (Single License) -- $79.00 USD from Jane Smith (jane@example.com). Status: paid.

If you have the cash sound enabled on mobile, you will hear a "cha-ching" along with this notification.

Troubleshooting

1. No webhooks received after creating the webhook in LemonSqueezy: Double-check that you selected at least one event type when configuring the webhook. Also verify the Callback URL is exactly the Webhookify URL with no trailing spaces or characters.

2. Webhook shows as "Failed" in LemonSqueezy dashboard: This typically means the endpoint did not respond in time. Webhookify endpoints respond instantly, so if you see failures, ensure the URL is correct. Try deleting and re-creating the webhook destination in LemonSqueezy.

3. Receiving order_created but not subscription events: Subscription events are separate from order events in LemonSqueezy. Make sure you checked the subscription-related event boxes when setting up the webhook. Go back to Settings > Webhooks and edit your webhook to add the missing events.

4. Notifications arrive but are missing customer details: LemonSqueezy includes customer information in the webhook payload, but some fields may be empty if the customer did not provide them during checkout. This is expected -- Webhookify displays whatever data LemonSqueezy sends.

5. Test purchases trigger real webhooks: LemonSqueezy does not have a fully separate sandbox mode like some platforms. When you create a test purchase (even with a 100% discount), it triggers real webhook events. This is actually useful for testing but be aware that it creates real order records in your LemonSqueezy dashboard.
