This is my first time using stripe and I'm not really sure why it would be timing out.

We need more details to help you.

This is the code I have for the webhook. Python Flask, using sqlite DB

@app.route('/stripe-webhook', methods=['POST'])
def stripe_webhook():
    logging.info("Received a request.")

    payload = request.data
    sig_header = request.headers.get('Stripe-Signature')
    ENDPOINT_SECRET = "my_endpoint_secret"

    try:
        event = stripe.Webhook.construct_event(
            payload, sig_header, ENDPOINT_SECRET
        )
    except ValueError:
        # Invalid payload
        return 'Invalid payload', 400
    except stripe.error.SignatureVerificationError:
        # Invalid signature
        return 'Invalid signature', 400

    # Handle the event
    if event['type'] == 'checkout.session.completed':
        # Mark the user as subscribed
        user_id = session.get('client_reference_id')
        user = User.query.get(user_id)
        if user:
            user.is_subscribed = True
            db.session.commit()

    return 'Success', 200

I can't see any issues with that offhand. Perhaps try adding some logging in there, in between the different parts of the view, to see where it is spending its time?

I have this at the top function

logging.info("Received a request.")

should that be printing "Received a request" in my server.log? Sorry, I'm very new to this

I think it should yes

I have added other logging statements throughout, but not even the first one is being written in my server.logs file.

I can add stripe functionality without using the webhooks, but it is bad practice. :P

Any idea why it wouldn't be coming through? It does say I have the webhook configured properly from my stripe dash.

As logging can be pretty useful, it comes with its own overhead of setup, could you try print calls with flush=True argument (optionally with file=sys.stderr as well to redirect the output to the error log), just to be sure that it's not missing because of something unrelated?
