Stripe webhook on a webapi server with ASP.NET framework 4.7.2

I'm trying to make an webapi app in C# that connects to stripe. My app is using .NET framework 4.7.2.

Stripe documentation does say it's supporting .NET Framework 4.7.2 but I have trouble implementing the webhook.

The error I'm stuck at is this :

Error	CS1061	'IMvcBuilder' does not contain a definition for 'AddNewtonsoftJson' and no accessible extension method 'AddNewtonsoftJson' accepting a first argument of type 'IMvcBuilder' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

And this is the code where I'm receive the error, written in Startup.cs (I don't know if here is the right place because I don't have a Main class) :

C#

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddMvc().AddNewtonsoftJson();
}

With what can I replace AddNewtonsoftJson() here ?

What I have tried:

I'm using stripe documentation from here : https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks/quickstart[^]

I tried to install the nuget package named Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.NewtonJson but it didn't worked because I'm working with .net framework 4.7.2 and this package doesn't work with it.

The AddMvc and AddNewtonsoftJson extension methods are for ASP.NET Core, not .NET Framework. Although they support .NET Framework, it looks like they only provide documentation for ASP.NET Core.

As Richard mentioned, the documentation is for DotNet only. I looked at their videos and they look like DotNet only too. A couple of thoughts:

1. Here is the github repo for their library: GitHub - stripe/stripe-dotnet: Stripe.net is a sync/async .NET 4.6.1+ client, and a portable class library for stripe.com.[^] you can look at those helper methods to see what they are doing. DotNet uses DI, but you should be able to make your own implementation.

2. Raise a support ticket. I am certain that you are not the only one with this question and they should have a canned support solution that they can respond with.

3. Maybe it is time to move to DotNet - your website will perform better. Here is documentation on migrating: Port from .NET Framework to .NET 6 - .NET Core | Microsoft Learn[^]
