API upgrades
Your API version controls the API and webhook behavior you see (for example, what properties you see in responses, what parameters you’re permitted to send in requests, and so on). Your version gets set the first time you make an API request. When a breaking change is introduced to the Stripe API, a new dated version is released. To avoid breaking your code, we don’t change your version until you’re ready to upgrade.
If you make requests on behalf of other users using Connect, we’ll use your application’s API version, making it easy for you to write code that works for all your users no matter what API versions they’re individually running.
Backwards-compatible changes
Stripe considers the following changes to be backwards-compatible:
Adding new API resources.
Adding new optional request parameters to existing API methods.
Adding new properties to existing API responses.
Changing the order of properties in existing API responses.
Changing the length or format of opaque strings, such as object IDs, error messages, and other human-readable strings.
This includes adding or removing fixed prefixes (such as
ch_
on charge IDs).You can safely assume object IDs we generate will never exceed 255 characters, but you should be able to handle IDs of up to that length. If for example you’re using MySQL, you should store IDs in a
VARCHAR(255) COLLATE utf8_bin
column (theCOLLATE
configuration ensures case-sensitivity in lookups).Adding new event types.
Your webhook listener should gracefully handle unfamiliar event types.
Upgrading your API version
If you’re running an older version of the API, upgrade to the latest version to take advantage of new functionality or to streamline responses so the API is faster for you. Upgrading your API version will affect:
- The API calls you make without a
Stripe-Version
header: the parameters you can send and the structure of objects returned. - The structure of objects received with Stripe.js methods such as confirmCardPayment.
- The structure of objects sent to your webhook endpoints (both Account and Connect ones.) If an endpoint has an explicit version set, it will remain unaffected.
- Automated Billing operations performed by Stripe (for example, generating an invoice for a new subscription period) use your account’s default API version. See the API changelog for details about how your default API version will impact these operations.
To see what version you’re running and upgrade to the latest one, visit your Dashboard.
When performing an API upgrade, make sure that you specify the API version that you’re integrating against in your code instead of relying on your account’s default API version. To test a newer version for API calls, set the Stripe-Version
header (in live or test mode). Learn how to manage versioning in our server-side libraries.
For webhooks, you can override the version of a single test webhook endpoint in your Dashboard. To safely upgrade your webhooks, Stripe recommends that you:
- Check for breaking changes to see which objects will be structured differently.
- Update your webhook code to handle both the old and new version of each object.
- Change the version of a test webhook endpoint to the version you want to test.
- Trigger the event in test mode and validate that your code works for the new structure.
When you’re confident that your code can handle the latest API version, click the Upgrade version button in your Dashboard. This switches the version used by API calls that don’t have the Stripe-Version header and also switches the version used to render objects sent to your webhooks.
Caution
The shape of resources inside events retrieved from the API is defined by the default API version of your account at the time the event occurred. If your code retrieves events created when your default API version was different your code will need to account for these changes when processing events.
Rolling back your API version
For 72 hours after you’ve upgraded your API version, you can safely roll back to the version you were upgrading from in your Dashboard.
After you’ve rolled back, webhooks that were sent with the new object structure and failed will be retried with the old structure.

The
id

When creating a post-payment credit note on an invoice:

out_of_band_amount
is optional and, in the case that thecredit_amount

.
Customer balances applied to all invoices are now debited or credited back to the customer when voided. Earlier, applied customer balances were not returned back to the customer and were consumed.

will be converted tocancel
when reading the value back. - In the event that you are upgrading your API and set
renewal_behavior
asrenew

Creating a subscription succeeds even when the first payment fails. The subscription will be created in an incomplete status, where it will remain for up to 23 hours. During that time period, it can be moved into an active state by paying the first invoice. If no successful payment is made, the subscription will move into a final incomplete_expired state. Updates to a non-incomplete subscription that require a payment will also succeed regardless of the payment status. Prior to this version, all creations or updates would fail if the corresponding payment failed. For more details see our guide.

FileUpload

When creating or updating subscriptions, the default value of
trial_from_plan
is nowfalse
, meaning that a subscription will not automatically inherit a plan’strial_period_days
. If a subscription is already trialing, switching to a new plan without specifyingtrial_from_plan
will maintain the trial. We recommend setting an explicit trial per subscription instead of setting trials on plans. When changing the plan on a subscription to a new plan with a trial (together with
trial_from_plan=true
), the new plan’s full trial period will be added to the subscription, without subtracting already-used time from previous trials.

on its own is available retroactively to past versions, and starting in this version,billing_cycle_anchor
can be combined with a trial, enabling a free trial to be followed by a prorated period, followed by a fixed billing cycle. Prorations on free plans now create $0 invoices. In past versions, these did not create invoices.
