+# Forward Stripe Events To Local Server
+
+Stripe offers a robust test mode for developing and testing your app with a
+payments sandbox.
+
+The [Stripe CLI](https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-cli/webhooks#forward-events)
+has a `listen` command that can be used to foward any and all Stripe events
+from the test account to a locally running server.
+
+Assuming you've installed the `stripe` CLI, you can run a command like the
+following to forward all events to your local server.
+
+```bash
+$ stripe listen --forward-to localhost:5000/hooks
+```
+
+While this is running you'll see incoming events and your servers outgoing
+responses.
+
+If you'd like to filter down to receive specific events, you can use the
+[`--events`
+flag](https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-cli/webhooks#supported-events).
