Use polling for Memberpress failed payments rather than webhook

[Nicola]

I'd like to request that the Memberpress integration uses polling rather than webhooks for transactions like failed subscription payments, where it's very difficult to test these transactions. We can't create a test "failed payment" in Memberpress and doing it in either Paypal or Stripe is too technical for most people and requires expensive developer support.

This limitation means that Pabbly isn't as inexpensive relative to Zapier as claimed when you have to factor in the cost of hiring a developer.

Hey @Nicola

Thank you for reaching out and bringing this to our attention. We understand that the Memberpress integration using webhooks for transactions like failed subscription payments can be challenging to test, and hiring a developer can be expensive. However, we believe that the use of webhooks is the most effective and efficient method for integrating with Memberpress.

Webhooks allow for real-time communication between systems, which is essential for ensuring that transactions are processed accurately and in a timely manner. While it may be more difficult to test webhooks than polling, the benefits of using webhooks far outweigh this inconvenience.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we hope that this explanation helps to clarify the situation. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to let us know.

@Supreme - there are no benefits at all if you can't set it up so perhaps you could accommodate your non-developer customers on this in some way.

@Fagun Shah Oh my goodness - thank you! I've been asking both Pabbly and Memberpress for days if there was a way to post an event to the api without actually having to create a failed payment and they just kept saying no. And it was there the whole time!
