# Older payment APIs

Information about our older APIs and the newer APIs that replace them.

We’ve replaced some of our older APIs and no longer update their documentation.

## Migrate to current APIs

The older APIs are limited. To get the latest Stripe features, migrate to the [Payment Intents](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/payment-intents.md), [Setup Intents](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/setup-intents.md), and [Payment Methods](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/payment-methods.md) APIs. See each individual API’s docs for specifics on migrating.

## Deprecation of the Sources API

We’ve deprecated support for local payment methods in the [Sources API](https://docs.stripe.com/sources.md) and plan to turn it off. If you currently handle any local payment methods using the Sources API, you must [migrate them to the current APIs](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/payment-methods/transitioning.md). We’ll communicate more information about this end of support through email.

We’ve also deprecated support for card payments in the Sources API, but don’t currently plan to turn it off.

## Older APIs that remain available

Although unsupported, these APIs aren’t going away. Until you upgrade your integration, you can still use these APIs:

- [Charges](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/charges-api.md)
- [ACH](https://docs.stripe.com/ach-deprecated.md)
