nextjs - 💡(How to fix) Fix Critical: Stripe Live API Connection Failure from Vercel Functions [1 comments, 2 participants]

Error Details

An error occurred with our connection to Stripe. Request was retried X times. 100% failure rate on all Stripe API calls with connection error.

TL;DR

Verify the Vercel Functions' outbound traffic configuration and ensure it allows connections to the Stripe Live API.

Guidance

• Investigate Vercel's security group settings and firewall rules to ensure they do not block outgoing requests to Stripe's API endpoints.
• Check the DNS resolution for api.stripe.com from within the Vercel Functions environment to confirm it resolves correctly.
• Test connectivity to Stripe's API using a tool like curl or a simple HTTP client from within the Vercel Functions environment.
• Review Vercel's documentation on outbound traffic and Stripe's API documentation on required IP addresses or domains for potential restrictions.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue seems to be related to infrastructure configuration rather than code.

Notes

The issue might be specific to the Vercel Functions environment or the project's configuration. Verifying the connectivity and configuration settings is crucial to identifying the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by configuring Vercel Functions to use a proxy server or adjusting the security group settings to allow outgoing traffic to Stripe's API, as upgrading to a fixed version is not mentioned in the issue.
