Lemon Squeezy events, straight into Custom Webhook
Every sale, refund, or subscription event — posted to Custom Webhook the moment it happens. No automation-platform subscription just to relay one webhook.
Why not call Lemon Squeezy's API directly from your own endpoint? You can — but then you own Lemon Squeezy's signature verification, retry handling, and payload quirks yourself. ZestyGlue verifies the signature, normalizes the event into a clean JSON body, and POSTs it to your URL — you only write the part that's actually yours.
What it looks like
ZestyGlue
Lemon Squeezy — Order Created
A real Lemon Squeezy event, shown as ZestyGlue formats it for Custom Webhook.
Setup — about two minutes
- Create the connector. In ZestyGlue, start a new Lemon Squeezy → Custom Webhook connector. You'll get a unique webhook URL right away.
- Point Lemon Squeezy at it. Go to Settings → Webhooks → create webhook, paste in your ZestyGlue webhook URL, and select the events you want.
- Copy the signing secret. Lemon Squeezy shows a signing secret for your webhook — paste that into ZestyGlue's connector setup so every event can be verified as genuinely from Lemon Squeezy.
- Point it at your endpoint. Paste the URL of your own server, script, or automation tool's webhook receiver — no signup, no app to install.
Tip: Lemon Squeezy fires separate events for subscription_created, subscription_payment_success, and subscription_payment_failed — subscribe to all three if you want new sales and renewal failures in the same channel.
Events you can forward
order_created
order_refunded
subscription_created
subscription_cancelled
subscription_payment_success
subscription_payment_failed
Questions
Is my Lemon Squeezy Signing Secret safe with ZestyGlue?
It's encrypted at rest with Fernet symmetric encryption before it ever touches disk, it's never logged, and it's never displayed again in the dashboard after you enter it — only a masked placeholder is shown.
Does this work for both one-time products and subscriptions?
Yes — Lemon Squeezy sends separate event types for one-time orders and subscription lifecycle events, and both flow through the same connector.
Will refunds show up differently from sales?
Yes, refund events use their own event name (order_refunded) and are labeled accordingly, so they don't look like new revenue.
Do I need to write my own server to receive this?
Yes — this destination expects your own endpoint (or a tool like a serverless function, a script, or another automation platform's webhook trigger) to receive the POST. If you don't have one yet, pick one of ZestyGlue's built-in destinations instead.
What happens if my ZestyGlue subscription lapses?
Events are silently dropped rather than causing errors on Lemon Squeezy's side — Lemon Squeezy never sees a failure response, so it won't retry aggressively or flag your webhook as broken. Your dashboard will simply stop showing new events until you resubscribe.
