Platform listener always receives both direct events and connect account events in webhook

[nerder]

Issue

From my testing it seems like that when an event is triggered from the connected account, and a listener for a platform is present, that listener will be invoked as well.

Expected Behavior

Only the connected webhook listener is to be called, as in the actual live environment.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create 2 endpoints, one for connected events and one for platform events
2. Setup 2 listener with the same event for both webhook endpoint
3. Fire that event from the connected account

@nerder could you please list out the CLI commands you used to create those endpoints?

I'm using the docker containers, so in my docker compose I have this:

  stripe-cli-connected:
    image: stripe/stripe-cli:latest
    container_name: stripe-cli-connected
    command: >
      listen
      --device-name ${DEVICE_NAME}-connected
      --events=customer.created,customer.deleted,customer.updated,customer.subscription.created,customer.subscription.updated,customer.subscription.deleted,payment_method.attached,payment_method.detached,invoice.paid
      --forward-connect-to http://localshost:5001/connected/stripe-connected
    environment:
      - STRIPE_API_KEY
      - DEVICE_NAME
  stripe-cli-platform:
    image: stripe/stripe-cli:latest
    container_name: stripe-cli-platform
    command: >
      listen 
      --device-name ${DEVICE_NAME}-platform
      --events=customer.created,customer.deleted,customer.updated,payment_method.attached,payment_method.updated,payment_method.detached
      --forward-to http://localshost:5001/platform/stripe-platform
    environment:
      - STRIPE_API_KEY
      - DEVICE_NAME

@nerder I recommend setting --forward-connect-to to a dummy URL in your platform listener. Your platform listener will still receive connect events, but they will be forwarded to your dummy URL.

  stripe-cli-connected:
    image: stripe/stripe-cli:latest
    container_name: stripe-cli-connected
    command: >
      listen
      --device-name ${DEVICE_NAME}-connected
      --events=customer.created,customer.deleted,customer.updated,customer.subscription.created,customer.subscription.updated,customer.subscription.deleted,payment_method.attached,payment_method.detached,invoice.paid
      --forward-connect-to http://localshost:5001/connected/stripe-connected
    environment:
      - STRIPE_API_KEY
      - DEVICE_NAME
  stripe-cli-platform:
    image: stripe/stripe-cli:latest
    container_name: stripe-cli-platform
    command: >
      listen 
      --device-name ${DEVICE_NAME}-platform
      --events=customer.created,customer.deleted,customer.updated,payment_method.attached,payment_method.updated,payment_method.detached
      --forward-to http://localshost:5001/platform/stripe-platform
      --forward-connect-to dummy
    environment:
      - STRIPE_API_KEY
      - DEVICE_NAME

When --forward-to is provided without --forward-connect-to, we forward events from the platform and connected accounts to the same URL. To forward them to different URLs, we usually recommend running one listen session with both --forward-to and --forward-connect-to. For example:

command: >
  listen
  --events=customer.created,customer.deleted,customer.updated,customer.subscription.created,customer.subscription.updated,customer.subscription.deleted,payment_method.attached,payment_method.detached,invoice.paid
  --forward-connect-to http://localshost:5001/connected/stripe-connected
  --forward-to http://localshost:5001/platform/stripe-platform

However, this doesn't support specifying different event types or device name for each kind of endpoint, which is why I recommend using a dummy endpoint.

Let me know if this helps.
