  • The card’s currency is the same as the connected account’s default_currency.
  • There is another external account (card or bank account) with the same currency as the card.

To delete a card, you must first replace the default external account by setting default_for_currency with another external account in the same currency.

Parameters

No parameters.

Returns

Returns the deleted card object.

This is an object representing a person associated with a Stripe account.

A platform cannot access a person for an account where account.controller.requirement_collection is stripe, which includes Standard and Express accounts, after creating an Account Link or Account Session to start Connect onboarding.

See the Standard onboarding or Express onboarding documentation for information about prefilling information and account onboarding steps. Learn more about handling identity verification with the API.

To top up your Stripe balance, you create a top-up object. You can retrieve individual top-ups, as well as list all top-ups. Top-ups are identified by a unique, random ID.

A Transfer object is created when you move funds between Stripe accounts as part of Connect.

Before April 6, 2017, transfers also represented movement of funds from a Stripe account to a card or bank account. This behavior has since been split out into a Payout object, with corresponding payout endpoints. For more information, read about the transfer/payout split.

Related guide: Creating separate charges and transfers

Stripe Connect platforms can reverse transfers made to a connected account, either entirely or partially, and can also specify whether to refund any related application fees. Transfer reversals add to the platform’s balance and subtract from the destination account’s balance.

Reversing a transfer that was made for a destination charge is allowed only up to the amount of the charge. It is possible to reverse a transfer_group transfer only if the destination account has enough balance to cover the reversal.

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.

Terminal Hardware Product Preview feature

A TerminalHardwareProduct is a category of hardware devices that are generally similar, but may have variations depending on the country it’s shipped to.

TerminalHardwareSKUs represent variations within the same Product (for example, a country specific device). For example, WisePOS E is a TerminalHardwareProduct and a WisePOS E - US and WisePOS E - UK are TerminalHardwareSKUs.

Terminal Hardware SKU Preview feature

A TerminalHardwareSKU represents a SKU for Terminal hardware. A SKU is a representation of a product available for purchase, containing information such as the name, price, and images.

Stripe Treasury provides users with a container for money called a FinancialAccount that is separate from their Payments balance. FinancialAccounts serve as the source and destination of Treasury’s money movement APIs.

Encodes whether a FinancialAccount has access to a particular Feature, with a status enum and associated status_details. Stripe or the platform can control Features via the requested field.

TransactionEntries represent individual units of money movements within a single Transaction.

Use OutboundTransfers to transfer funds from a FinancialAccount to a PaymentMethod belonging to the same entity. To send funds to a different party, use OutboundPayments instead. You can send funds over ACH rails or through a domestic wire transfer to a user’s own external bank account.

Simulate OutboundTransfer state changes with the /v1/test_helpers/treasury/outbound_transfers endpoints. These methods can only be called on test mode objects.

ReceivedCredits represent funds sent to a FinancialAccount (for example, via ACH or wire). These money movements are not initiated from the FinancialAccount.

ReceivedDebits represent funds pulled from a FinancialAccount. These are not initiated from the FinancialAccount.

You can reverse some ReceivedCredits depending on their network and source flow. Reversing a ReceivedCredit leads to the creation of a new object known as a CreditReversal.

You can reverse some ReceivedDebits depending on their network and source flow. Reversing a ReceivedDebit leads to the creation of a new object known as a DebitReversal.

A feature represents a monetizable ability or functionality in your system. Features can be assigned to products, and when those products are purchased, Stripe will create an entitlement to the feature for the purchasing customer.

A product_feature represents an attachment between a feature and a product. When a product is purchased that has a feature attached, Stripe will create an entitlement to the feature for the purchasing customer.

An active entitlement describes access to a feature for a customer.

If you have scheduled a Sigma query, you’ll receive a sigma.scheduled_query_run.created webhook each time the query runs. The webhook contains a ScheduledQueryRun object, which you can use to retrieve the query results.

The Report Run object represents an instance of a report type generated with specific run parameters. Once the object is created, Stripe begins processing the report. When the report has finished running, it will give you a reference to a file where you can retrieve your results. For an overview, see API Access to Reports.

Note that certain report types can only be run based on your live-mode data (not test-mode data), and will error when queried without a live-mode API key.

The Report Type resource corresponds to a particular type of report, such as the “Activity summary” or “Itemized payouts” reports. These objects are identified by an ID belonging to a set of enumerated values. See API Access to Reports documentation for those Report Type IDs, along with required and optional parameters.

Note that certain report types can only be run based on your live-mode data (not test-mode data), and will error when queried without a live-mode API key.

A VerificationReport is the result of an attempt to collect and verify data from a user. The collection of verification checks performed is determined from the type and options parameters used. You can find the result of each verification check performed in the appropriate sub-resource: document, id_number, selfie.

Each VerificationReport contains a copy of any data collected by the user as well as reference IDs which can be used to access collected images through the FileUpload API. To configure and create VerificationReports, use the VerificationSession API.

A Crypto Onramp Session represents your customer’s session as they purchase cryptocurrency through Stripe. Once payment is successful, Stripe will fulfill the delivery of cryptocurrency to your user’s wallet and contain a reference to the crypto transaction ID.

Instructs Stripe to make a request on your behalf using the destination URL. The destination URL is activated by Stripe at the time of onboarding. Stripe verifies requests with your credentials provided during onboarding, and injects card details from the payment_method into the request.

Stripe redacts all sensitive fields and headers, including authentication credentials and card numbers, before storing the request and response data in the forwarding Request object, which are subject to a 30-day retention period.

You can provide a Stripe idempotency key to make sure that requests with the same key result in only one outbound request. The Stripe idempotency key provided should be unique and different from any idempotency keys provided on the underlying third-party request.

Forwarding Requests are synchronous requests that return a response or time out according to Stripe’s limits.

You can configure webhook endpoints via the API to be notified about events that happen in your Stripe account or connected accounts.

Most users configure webhooks from the dashboard, which provides a user interface for registering and testing your webhook endpoints.
