A portal configuration describes the functionality and features that you want to provide to your customers through the portal.
A portal session describes the instantiation of the customer portal for a particular customer. By visiting the session’s URL, the customer can manage their subscriptions and billing details. For security reasons, sessions are short-lived and will expire if the customer does not visit the URL. Create sessions on-demand when customers intend to manage their subscriptions and billing details.
Related guide: Customer management
A portal configuration describes the functionality and behavior of a portal session.
Invoices are statements of amounts owed by a customer, and are either generated one-off, or generated periodically from a subscription.
They contain invoice items, and proration adjustments that may be caused by subscription upgrades/downgrades (if necessary).
If your invoice is configured to be billed through automatic charges, Stripe automatically finalizes your invoice and attempts payment. Note that finalizing the invoice, when automatic, does not happen immediately as the invoice is created. Stripe waits until one hour after the last webhook was successfully sent (or the last webhook timed out after failing). If you (and the platforms you may have connected to) have no webhooks configured, Stripe waits one hour after creation to finalize the invoice.
If your invoice is configured to be billed by sending an email, then based on your email settings, Stripe will email the invoice to your customer and await payment. These emails can contain a link to a hosted page to pay the invoice.
Stripe applies any customer credit on the account before determining the amount due for the invoice (i.e., the amount that will be actually charged). If the amount due for the invoice is less than Stripe’s minimum allowed charge per currency, the invoice is automatically marked paid, and we add the amount due to the customer’s credit balance which is applied to the next invoice.
More details on the customer’s credit balance are here.

Invoice Items represent the component lines of an invoice. When you create an invoice item with an invoice field, it is attached to the specified invoice and included as an invoice line item within invoice.lines.
Invoice Items can be created before you are ready to actually send the invoice. This can be particularly useful when combined with a subscription. Sometimes you want to add a charge or credit to a customer, but actually charge or credit the customer’s card only at the end of a regular billing cycle. This is useful for combining several charges (to minimize per-transaction fees), or for having Stripe tabulate your usage-based billing totals.
Related guides: Integrate with the Invoicing API, Subscription Invoices.
Invoice Line Items represent the individual lines within an invoice and only exist within the context of an invoice.
Each line item is backed by either an invoice item or a subscription item.
Invoice Payments represent payments made against invoices. Invoice Payments can be accessed in two ways:
- By expanding the
paymentsfield on the Invoice resource. - By using the Invoice Payment retrieve and list endpoints.
Invoice Payments include the mapping between payment objects, such as Payment Intent, and Invoices. This resource and its endpoints allows you to easily track if a payment is associated with a specific invoice and monitor the allocation details of the payments.
Invoice Rendering Templates are used to configure how invoices are rendered on surfaces like the PDF. Invoice Rendering Templates can be created from within the Dashboard, and they can be used over the API when creating invoices.
A billing alert is a resource that notifies you when a certain usage threshold on a meter is crossed. For example, you might create a billing alert to notify you when a certain user made 100 API requests.
Meters specify how to aggregate meter events over a billing period. Meter events represent the actions that customers take in your system. Meters attach to prices and form the basis of the bill.
Related guide: Usage based billing
Meter events represent actions that customers take in your system. You can use meter events to bill a customer based on their usage. Meter events are associated with billing meters, which define both the contents of the event’s payload and how to aggregate those events.
Meter events are used to report customer usage of your product or service. Meter events are associated with billing meters, which define the shape of the event’s payload and how those events are aggregated. Meter events are processed asynchronously, so they may not be immediately reflected in aggregates or on upcoming invoices.
A billing meter event adjustment is a resource that allows you to cancel a meter event. For example, you might create a billing meter event adjustment to cancel a meter event that was created in error or attached to the wrong customer.
A billing meter event adjustment is a resource that allows you to cancel a meter event. For example, you might create a billing meter event adjustment to cancel a meter event that was created in error or attached to the wrong customer.
You can send a higher-throughput of meter events using meter event streams. For this flow, you must first create a meter event session, which will provide you with a session token. You can then create meter events through the meter event stream endpoint, using the session token for authentication. The session tokens are short-lived and you will need to create a new meter event session when the token expires.
A billing meter event summary represents an aggregated view of a customer’s billing meter events within a specified timeframe. It indicates how much usage was accrued by a customer for that period.
Note: Meters events are aggregated asynchronously so the meter event summaries provide an eventually consistent view of the reported usage.
A credit grant is an API resource that documents the allocation of some billing credits to a customer.
Related guide: Billing credits
Indicates the billing credit balance for billing credits granted to a customer.
A credit balance transaction is a resource representing a transaction (either a credit or a debit) against an existing credit grant.
You can now model subscriptions more flexibly using the Prices API. It replaces the Plans API and is backwards compatible to simplify your migration.
Plans define the base price, currency, and billing cycle for recurring purchases of products. Products help you track inventory or provisioning, and plans help you track pricing. Different physical goods or levels of service should be represented by products, and pricing options should be represented by plans. This approach lets you change prices without having to change your provisioning scheme.
For example, you might have a single “gold” product that has plans for $10/month, $100/year, €9/month, and €90/year.
Related guides: Set up a subscription and more about products and prices.
A Quote is a way to model prices that you’d like to provide to a customer. Once accepted, it will automatically create an invoice, subscription or subscription schedule.
Subscriptions allow you to charge a customer on a recurring basis.
Related guide: Creating subscriptions
Subscription items allow you to create customer subscriptions with more than one plan, making it easy to represent complex billing relationships.
A subscription schedule allows you to create and manage the lifecycle of a subscription by predefining expected changes.

Test Clocks Test helper
A test clock enables deterministic control over objects in testmode. With a test clock, you can create objects at a frozen time in the past or future, and advance to a specific future time to observe webhooks and state changes. After the clock advances, you can either validate the current state of your scenario (and test your assumptions), change the current state of your scenario (and test more complex scenarios), or keep advancing forward in time.

Secret Store is an API that allows Stripe Apps developers to securely persist secrets for use by UI Extensions and app backends.
The primary resource in Secret Store is a secret. Other apps can’t view secrets created by an app. Additionally, secrets are scoped to provide further permission control.
All Dashboard users and the app backend share account scoped secrets. Use the account scope for secrets that don’t change per-user, like a third-party API key.
A user scoped secret is accessible by the app backend and one specific Dashboard user. Use the user scope for per-user secrets like per-user OAuth tokens, where different users might have different permissions.
