# Quick Start

> Capture your first webhook in under 5 minutes

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an account">
    Go to [hookdrop.dev/auth/register](https://hookdrop.dev/auth/register) and sign up for free. No credit card required.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create an endpoint">
    From your dashboard, click **+ New endpoint** and give it a name — for example, `Stripe payments`.

    You'll get a unique capture URL that looks like this:

    ```
    https://hookdrop.dev/in/{your-token}
    ```

    This URL is permanent. It never changes and never goes down, so you can safely paste it anywhere.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Point your provider at it">
    Go to your webhook provider and set the webhook destination to your Hookdrop capture URL.

    **Example: adding Hookdrop to Stripe**

    1. Open the [Stripe Dashboard](https://dashboard.stripe.com) and go to **Developers → Webhooks**
    2. Click **Add endpoint**
    3. Paste your Hookdrop URL (e.g. `https://hookdrop.dev/in/abc123xyz`)
    4. Select the events you want to capture
    5. Click **Add endpoint**

    <Tip>
      You can point multiple providers at the same endpoint, or create a separate endpoint per provider to keep events organized.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Watch events arrive">
    Open your Hookdrop dashboard and click **View events** on your endpoint. The moment Stripe fires a webhook, it appears in real time — with the full payload, headers, and delivery status.

    No terminal. No log diving. Everything is in one place.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Replay an event">
    Click any event and hit **↺ Replay** to re-deliver it to any destination instantly. No need to ask your provider to resend.

    This works for any event — even ones that failed, timed out, or arrived while your server was down.
