Updates the plan or quantity of an item on a current subscription.

Parameters

  • metadataobject

    Set of key-value pairs that you can attach to an object. This can be useful for storing additional information about the object in a structured format. Individual keys can be unset by posting an empty value to them. All keys can be unset by posting an empty value to metadata.

  • payment_behaviorenum

    Use allow_incomplete to transition the subscription to status=past_due if a payment is required but cannot be paid. This allows you to manage scenarios where additional user actions are needed to pay a subscription’s invoice. For example, SCA regulation may require 3DS authentication to complete payment. See the SCA Migration Guide for Billing to learn more. This is the default behavior.

    Use default_incomplete to transition the subscription to status=past_due when payment is required and await explicit confirmation of the invoice’s payment intent. This allows simpler management of scenarios where additional user actions are needed to pay a subscription’s invoice. Such as failed payments, SCA regulation, or collecting a mandate for a bank debit payment method.

    Use pending_if_incomplete to update the subscription using pending updates. When you use pending_if_incomplete you can only pass the parameters supported by pending updates.

    Use error_if_incomplete if you want Stripe to return an HTTP 402 status code if a subscription’s invoice cannot be paid. For example, if a payment method requires 3DS authentication due to SCA regulation and further user action is needed, this parameter does not update the subscription and returns an error instead. This was the default behavior for API versions prior to 2019-03-14. See the changelog to learn more.

    Possible enum values
    allow_incomplete
    default_incomplete
    error_if_incomplete
    pending_if_incomplete
  • pricestring

    The ID of the price object. One of price or price_data is required. When changing a subscription item’s price, quantity is set to 1 unless a quantity parameter is provided.

  • proration_behaviorenum

    Determines how to handle prorations when the billing cycle changes (e.g., when switching plans, resetting billing_cycle_anchor=now, or starting a trial), or if an item’s quantity changes. The default value is create_prorations.

    Possible enum values
    always_invoice

    Always invoice immediately for prorations.

    create_prorations

    Will cause proration invoice items to be created when applicable. These proration items will only be invoiced immediately under certain conditions.

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.

This is our legacy usage-based billing API. See the updated usage-based billing docs.

A usage record summary represents an aggregated view of how much usage was accrued for a subscription item within a subscription billing period.

Financing Offer Preview feature

This is an object representing an offer of financing from Stripe Capital to a Connect subaccount.

Financing Summary Preview feature

A financing object describes an account’s current financing state. Used by Connect platforms to read the state of Capital offered to their connected accounts.

This is an object representing a Stripe account. You can retrieve it to see properties on the account like its current requirements or if the account is enabled to make live charges or receive payouts.

For accounts where controller.requirement_collection is application, which includes Custom accounts, the properties below are always returned.

For accounts where controller.requirement_collection is stripe, which includes Standard and Express accounts, some properties are only returned until you create an Account Link or Account Session to start Connect Onboarding. Learn about the differences between accounts.

An AccountSession allows a Connect platform to grant access to a connected account in Connect embedded components.

We recommend that you create an AccountSession each time you need to display an embedded component to your user. Do not save AccountSessions to your database as they expire relatively quickly, and cannot be used more than once.

Stripe needs to collect certain pieces of information about each account created. These requirements can differ depending on the account’s country. The Country Specs API makes these rules available to your integration.

You can also view the information from this API call as an online guide.

External bank accounts are financial accounts associated with a Stripe platform’s connected accounts for the purpose of transferring funds to or from the connected account’s Stripe balance.

External account cards are debit cards associated with a Stripe platform’s connected accounts for the purpose of transferring funds to or from the connected accounts Stripe balance.

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.

Related guide: Topping up your platform account

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.

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.

Related guide: Moving money with Treasury using OutboundTransfer 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.
