How to let an outside service access my local enviournment

Question

My backend is running in a local enviournment at http://localhost:1337 - using node js and strapi headless CMS.

I'm integrating credit card transaction and their system needs to send a POST request to my backend but it cannot be done since my enviournment is local.

Is there a simple way (hopefully) to enable access from the outside to my local env?

Thanks in advance

Hopefully you're exposing your localhost like that just for development purposes.

Check out https://ngrok.com/ and https://serveo.net/

Both are solid options and can be configured to expose PORT 1337
