Why do Stripe API events occur?

Why do Stripe API events occur?

• A. Because the state of another Stripe API resource changes.
• B. Because events are scheduled every hour.
• C. To confirm user identity.
• D. To log performance metrics.

Answer: (A)

Events happen because the state of a Stripe resource changes. When something about a Stripe object—like a charge, invoice, customer, or subscription—moves to a new state (for example, a payment succeeds or an invoice is paid), Stripe records an event and can send it to your webhook endpoint. This lets your system stay in sync with Stripe, trigger follow-up actions, and keep your records accurate. They aren’t generated on a timer, they aren’t about confirming a user’s identity, and they aren’t primarily for logging performance metrics.
