API upgrades
Keep track of changes and upgrades to the Stripe API.
Private preview
Thin events for API v1 resources are available in private preview. You can use them to streamline integration upgrades without changing your webhook configuration. Previously, thin events only supported API v2 resources. Learn more and request access.
Your API version controls the API and webhook behavior you see (for example, what parameters you can include in requests, what properties you see in responses, and so on). Your version gets set the first time you make an API request. Each major release, such as Acacia, includes changes that aren’t backward-compatible with previous releases. Upgrading to a new major release can require updates to existing code. Each monthly release includes only backward-compatible changes, and uses the same name as the last major release. You can safely upgrade to a new monthly release without breaking any existing code. To upgrade your API version, follow these steps.
When a Connect platform makes requests on behalf of connected accounts without specifying an API version, Stripe always uses the platform’s API version. Regardless of a connected account’s API version, the platform’s requests on its behalf always return responses matching the API version of the request.
Backward-compatible changes 
Stripe considers the following changes to be backward-compatible:
- Adding new API resources.
- Adding new optional request parameters to existing API methods.
- Adding new properties to existing API responses.
- Changing the order of properties in existing API responses.
- Changing the length or format of opaque strings, such as object IDs, error messages, and other human-readable strings.
- This includes adding or removing fixed prefixes (such as
ch_on charge IDs). - Make sure that your integration can handle Stripe-generated object IDs, which can contain up to 255 characters. For example, if you’re using MySQL, store the IDs in a
VARCHAR(255) COLLATE utf8_column (thebin COLLATEconfiguration provides case-sensitivity during lookups).
- This includes adding or removing fixed prefixes (such as
- Adding new event types.
- Make sure that your webhook listener gracefully handles unfamiliar event types.
Upgrade your API version 
If you’re running an older version of the API, upgrade to the latest version to take advantage of new features and enhanced functionality.
Upgrading your API version affects:
- The API calls you make without a
Stripe-Versionheader: the parameters you can send and the structure of objects returned. - The structure of objects received with Stripe.js methods such as confirmCardPayment.
- The structure of objects sent to your webhook endpoints (both Account and Connect). However, if an endpoint has an explicit version set, it always uses that version.
- Automated Billing operations performed by Stripe (for example, generating an invoice for a new subscription period) use your account’s default API version. See the API changelog for details about how your default API version impacts these operations.
View your API version and the latest available upgrade in Workbench
See the API version used by recent requests on your account and the latest available upgrade from the Overview tab in Workbench.
When performing an API upgrade, make sure that you specify the API version that you’re integrating against in your code instead of relying on your account’s default API version. To test a newer version for API calls, set the Stripe-Version header (in live or testing environments). Learn how to manage versioning in our server-side SDKs.
Upgrade and test your webhooks
Read our guide on how to handle webhook versioning.
Perform the upgrade
When you’re confident that your code can handle the latest API version, perform the upgrade using Workbench:
- Open the Overview tab in Workbench.
- In the API versions section, click Upgrade available, which is visible if a newer API version is available.
- Review which API version will be assigned to your account, and click Upgrade.
This switches the version used by API calls that don’t have the Stripe-Version header and also switches the version used to render objects sent to your webhooks.
Caution
The shape of resources inside events retrieved from the API is defined by the default API version of your account at the time the event occurred. If your code retrieves events created when your default API version was different, it must account for any differences in the event versions.
Roll back your API version
For 72 hours after you’ve upgraded your API version, you can safely roll back to the version you were upgrading from in Workbench.
After you’ve rolled back, webhooks that were sent with the new object structure and failed will be retried with the old structure.

Creating a subscription succeeds even when the first payment fails. The subscription will be created in an incomplete status, where it will remain for up to 23 hours. During that time period, it can be moved into an active state by paying the first invoice. If no successful payment is made, the subscription will move into a final incomplete_expired state. Updates to a non-incomplete subscription that require a payment will also succeed regardless of the payment status. Prior to this version, all creations or updates would fail if the corresponding payment failed. For more details see our guide.
