This is a list of all the types of events we currently send. We may add more at any time, so in developing and maintaining your code, you should not assume that only these types exist.

You’ll notice that these events follow a pattern: resource.event. Our goal is to design a consistent system that makes things easier to anticipate and code against. Events that occur on subresources like customer.subscription do not trigger the parent’s update event.

Events marked as Selection required are only created when a webhook has been configured to listen for that type of event specifically. A webhook set to listen to all events will not receive an event requiring explicit selection.

Events are generated to keep you informed of activity in your business account. APIs in the /v2 namespace generate thin events which have small, unversioned payloads that include a reference to the ID of the object that has changed. The Events v2 API returns these new thin events. Retrieve the event object for additional data about the event. Use the related object ID in the event payload to fetch the API resource of the object associated with the event. Comparatively, events generated by most API v1 include a versioned snapshot of an API object in their payload.

This object represents files hosted on Stripe’s servers. You can upload files with the create file request (for example, when uploading dispute evidence). Stripe also creates files independently (for example, the results of a Sigma scheduled query).

A Mandate is a record of the permission that your customer gives you to debit their payment method.

A PaymentIntent guides you through the process of collecting a payment from your customer. We recommend that you create exactly one PaymentIntent for each order or customer session in your system. You can reference the PaymentIntent later to see the history of payment attempts for a particular session.

A PaymentIntent transitions through multiple statuses throughout its lifetime as it interfaces with Stripe.js to perform authentication flows and ultimately creates at most one successful charge.

Related guide: Payment Intents API

A SetupIntent guides you through the process of setting up and saving a customer’s payment credentials for future payments. For example, you can use a SetupIntent to set up and save your customer’s card without immediately collecting a payment. Later, you can use PaymentIntents to drive the payment flow.

Create a SetupIntent when you’re ready to collect your customer’s payment credentials. Don’t maintain long-lived, unconfirmed SetupIntents because they might not be valid. The SetupIntent transitions through multiple statuses as it guides you through the setup process.

Successful SetupIntents result in payment credentials that are optimized for future payments. For example, cardholders in certain regions might need to be run through Strong Customer Authentication during payment method collection to streamline later off-session payments. If you use the SetupIntent with a Customer, it automatically attaches the resulting payment method to that Customer after successful setup. We recommend using SetupIntents or setup_future_usage on PaymentIntents to save payment methods to prevent saving invalid or unoptimized payment methods.

By using SetupIntents, you can reduce friction for your customers, even as regulations change over time.

A SetupAttempt describes one attempted confirmation of a SetupIntent, whether that confirmation is successful or unsuccessful. You can use SetupAttempts to inspect details of a specific attempt at setting up a payment method using a SetupIntent.

A Payout object is created when you receive funds from Stripe, or when you initiate a payout to either a bank account or debit card of a connected Stripe account. You can retrieve individual payouts, and list all payouts. Payouts are made on varying schedules, depending on your country and industry.

Refund objects allow you to refund a previously created charge that isn’t refunded yet. Funds are refunded to the credit or debit card that’s initially charged.

ConfirmationTokens help transport client side data collected by Stripe JS over to your server for confirming a PaymentIntent or SetupIntent. If the confirmation is successful, values present on the ConfirmationToken are written onto the Intent.

To learn more about how to use ConfirmationToken, visit the related guides:

Tokenization is the process Stripe uses to collect sensitive card or bank account details, or personally identifiable information (PII), directly from your customers in a secure manner. A token representing this information is returned to your server to use. Use our recommended payments integrations to perform this process on the client-side. This guarantees that no sensitive card data touches your server, and allows your integration to operate in a PCI-compliant way.

If you can’t use client-side tokenization, you can also create tokens using the API with either your publishable or secret API key. If your integration uses this method, you’re responsible for any PCI compliance that it might require, and you must keep your secret API key safe. Unlike with client-side tokenization, your customer’s information isn’t sent directly to Stripe, so we can’t determine how it’s handled or stored.

You can’t store or use tokens more than once. To store card or bank account information for later use, create Customer objects or External accounts. Radar, our integrated solution for automatic fraud protection, performs best with integrations that use client-side tokenization.

PaymentMethod objects represent your customer’s payment instruments. You can use them with PaymentIntents to collect payments or save them to Customer objects to store instrument details for future payments.

Related guides: Payment Methods and More Payment Scenarios.

PaymentMethodConfigurations control which payment methods are displayed to your customers when you don’t explicitly specify payment method types. You can have multiple configurations with different sets of payment methods for different scenarios.

There are two types of PaymentMethodConfigurations. Which is used depends on the charge type:

Direct configurations apply to payments created on your account, including Connect destination charges, Connect separate charges and transfers, and payments not involving Connect.

Child configurations apply to payments created on your connected accounts using direct charges, and charges with the on_behalf_of parameter.

Child configurations have a parent that sets default values and controls which settings connected accounts may override. You can specify a parent ID at payment time, and Stripe will automatically resolve the connected account’s associated child configuration. Parent configurations are managed in the dashboard and are not available in this API.

A payment method domain represents a web domain that you have registered with Stripe. Stripe Elements use registered payment method domains to control where certain payment methods are shown.

Related guide: Payment method domains.

These bank accounts are payment methods on Customer objects.

On the other hand External Accounts are transfer destinations on Account objects for connected accounts. They can be bank accounts or debit cards as well, and are documented in the links above.

A customer’s Cash balance represents real funds. Customers can add funds to their cash balance by sending a bank transfer. These funds can be used for payment and can eventually be paid out to your bank account.

Customers with certain payments enabled have a cash balance, representing funds that were paid by the customer to a merchant, but have not yet been allocated to a payment. Cash Balance Transactions represent when funds are moved into or out of this balance. This includes funding by the customer, allocation to payments, and refunds to the customer.

You can store multiple cards on a customer in order to charge the customer later. You can also store multiple debit cards on a recipient in order to transfer to those cards later.

Sources Deprecated

Source objects allow you to accept a variety of payment methods. They represent a customer’s payment instrument, and can be used with the Stripe API just like a Card object: once chargeable, they can be charged, or can be attached to customers.

Stripe doesn’t recommend using the deprecated Sources API. We recommend that you adopt the PaymentMethods API. This newer API provides access to our latest features and payment method types.

Products describe the specific goods or services you offer to your customers. For example, you might offer a Standard and Premium version of your goods or service; each version would be a separate Product. They can be used in conjunction with Prices to configure pricing in Payment Links, Checkout, and Subscriptions.

Related guides: Set up a subscription, share a Payment Link, accept payments with Checkout, and more about Products and Prices

Prices define the unit cost, currency, and (optional) billing cycle for both recurring and one-time purchases of products. Products help you track inventory or provisioning, and prices help you track payment terms. Different physical goods or levels of service should be represented by products, and pricing options should be represented by prices. This approach lets you change prices without having to change your provisioning scheme.

For example, you might have a single “gold” product that has prices for $10/month, $100/year, and €9 once.

Related guides: Set up a subscription, create an invoice, and more about products and prices.

A coupon contains information about a percent-off or amount-off discount you might want to apply to a customer. Coupons may be applied to subscriptions, invoices, checkout sessions, quotes, and more. Coupons do not work with conventional one-off charges or payment intents.

A Promotion Code represents a customer-redeemable code for a coupon. It can be used to create multiple codes for a single coupon.

A discount represents the actual application of a coupon or promotion code. It contains information about when the discount began, when it will end, and what it is applied to.

Related guide: Applying discounts to subscriptions

Tax codes classify goods and services for tax purposes.

Shipping rates describe the price of shipping presented to your customers and applied to a purchase. For more information, see Charge for shipping.

A Checkout Session represents your customer’s session as they pay for one-time purchases or subscriptions through Checkout or Payment Links. We recommend creating a new Session each time your customer attempts to pay.

Once payment is successful, the Checkout Session will contain a reference to the Customer, and either the successful PaymentIntent or an active Subscription.

You can create a Checkout Session on your server and redirect to its URL to begin Checkout.

Related guide: Checkout quickstart

Each customer has a Balance value, which denotes a debit or credit that’s automatically applied to their next invoice upon finalization. You may modify the value directly by using the update customer API, or by creating a Customer Balance Transaction, which increments or decrements the customer’s balance by the specified amount.

The Billing customer portal is a Stripe-hosted UI for subscription and billing management.

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

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.

Related guide: Send invoices to customers

Invoice Items represent the component lines of an invoice. An invoice item is added to an invoice by creating or updating it with an invoice field, at which point it will be 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 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.

A billing meter is a resource that allows you to track usage of a particular event. For example, you might create a billing meter to track the number of API calls made by a particular user. You can then attach the billing meter to a price and attach the price to a subscription to charge the user for the number of API calls they make.

Related guide: Usage based billing

A billing meter event represents a customer’s usage of a product. Meter events are used to bill a customer based on their usage. Meter events are associated with billing meters, which define the shape of the event’s payload and how those events are aggregated for billing.

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.

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.

Subscription items allow you to create customer subscriptions with more than one plan, making it easy to represent complex billing relationships.

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.

Usage records allow you to report customer usage and metrics to Stripe for metered billing of subscription prices.

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.
