Only Stripe and GitLab implement all seven, with Shopify close behind at six. Multiple endpoint support was universal, while manual retries were the rarest feature, offered only by Stripe and GitLab. Signature verification was widespread, and the authors predict it will become a baseline requirement. Retry policies varied significantly, with some providers offering only token retry attempts rather than a meaningful backoff window. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Which webhook providers support manual retries for failed webhook deliveries? Among the seven providers reviewed, only Stripe and GitLab offer manual retries for failed webhook endpoints. Shopify, despite matching six of seven key webhook features, does not offer this capability, making manual retries the least commonly supported feature across the group. Manual retries let developers trigger a retry immediately while debugging instead of waiting for the automatic retry schedule. _daily.dev surfaces comparisons like this for teams weighing which webhook provider fits their reliability needs._ ### Which webhook providers implement automatic retries with exponential backoff? Shopify, Stripe, and GitLab all combine automatic retries with exponential backoff, alongside signature verification, event types, multiple endpoints, and log visibility. PagerDuty, BitBucket, DataDog, and CircleCI each lack automatic retries, exponential backoff, or both, and several only offer a very limited number of retry attempts rather than a full backoff schedule. _Developers evaluating webhook reliability can track provider comparisons like this on daily.dev._ ### How long should a webhook retry schedule span to give developers time to fix a failing endpoint? A retry policy should send retries over at least a 24-hour span so developers have enough time to diagnose and fix a failing endpoint before it gets disabled. Several webhook providers reviewed offered retries in name only, sending very few attempts that failed to give developers a meaningful recovery window. _Teams designing webhook infrastructure can find practical benchmarks like this via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Webhook vs API: The Difference That Finally Clicked for Me](https://daily.dev/posts/webhook-vs-api-the-difference-that-finally-clicked-for-me-cjwanwunj) · Medium · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [The valley of webhooks](https://daily.dev/posts/the-valley-of-webhooks-6ekxclvor) · Hacker News · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Your Webhook Endpoint Is a Tiny Distributed System](https://daily.dev/posts/your-webhook-endpoint-is-a-tiny-distributed-system-izgpxyxum) · Ruby Flow · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [How to Handle Stripe Webhooks Reliably with Background Jobs](https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-handle-stripe-webhooks-reliably-with-background-jobs-hc1vqu7fi) · freeCodeCamp · 2 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#architecture](https://daily.dev/tags/architecture), [#stripe](https://daily.dev/tags/stripe) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/comparing-popular-webhook-providers-o5vhajqql) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Comparing Popular Webhook Providers","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/comparing-popular-webhook-providers-o5vhajqql","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/comparing-popular-webhook-providers-o5vhajqql"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T07:20:30.469Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T07:24:37.317Z","description":"A comparison reviews seven popular webhook providers (Shopify, Stripe, PagerDuty, BitBucket, DataDog, CircleCI, GitLab) against seven features considered...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/e6b71f797bed292efee7bf689eefcb8d?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/e6b71f797bed292efee7bf689eefcb8d?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Svix Blog","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Svix Blog","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--Shf9MlOr--/f_auto,q_auto/v1787469609/logos/svix?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/svix"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/comparing-popular-webhook-providers-o5vhajqql","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"architecture,stripe","timeRequired":"PT3M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Svix Blog","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/svix"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Comparing Popular Webhook Providers"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/comparing-popular-webhook-providers-o5vhajqql#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Which webhook providers support manual retries for failed webhook deliveries?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Among the seven providers reviewed, only Stripe and GitLab offer manual retries for failed webhook endpoints.
