Standardizes invoice line item IDsBreaking changes

What’s new

Changes the id field of all invoice line items, prefixing them with il_. The new ID has consistent prefixes across all line items, is globally unique, and can be used for pagination. Old prefixes included sub_, su_, item_, sli_, and ii_ and weren`t globally unique.

  • You can no longer use the prefix of the ID to determine the source of the line item. Instead use the type field for this purpose.
  • For lines with type=invoiceitem, use the invoice_item field to reference or update the originating Invoice Item object.
  • On earlier API versions, the Invoice Line Item object also has a unique_id field that you can use to migrate internal references before upgrading to this version.
  • When setting a tax rate to individual line items, use the new id. If you’re on an earlier API version, pass in either a line item id or unique_id.

Impact

Lets you work with a more consistent and globally unique invoice line item ID format. The new IDs are prefixed with “il_” instead of various legacy prefixes, providing a standardized approach across all line items.

Upgrade

  1. View your current API version in Workbench.
  2. If you use an SDK, upgrade to the corresponding SDK version for this API version.
    • If you don’t use an SDK, update your API requests to include Stripe-Version: 2019-12-03
  3. Upgrade the API version used for webhook endpoints.
  4. Test your integration against the new version.
  5. If you use Connect, test your Connect integration.
  6. In Workbench, perform the upgrade. You can roll back the version for 72 hours.
