Invoice Items represent the component lines of an invoice. An invoice item is added to an invoice by creating or updating it with an invoice field, at which point it will be included as an invoice line item within invoice.lines.

Invoice Items can be created before you are ready to actually send the invoice. This can be particularly useful when combined with a subscription. Sometimes you want to add a charge or credit to a customer, but actually charge or credit the customer’s card only at the end of a regular billing cycle. This is useful for combining several charges (to minimize per-transaction fees), or for having Stripe tabulate your usage-based billing totals.

You can now model subscriptions more flexibly using the Prices API. It replaces the Plans API and is backwards compatible to simplify your migration.

Plans define the base price, currency, and billing cycle for recurring purchases of products. Products help you track inventory or provisioning, and plans help you track pricing. Different physical goods or levels of service should be represented by products, and pricing options should be represented by plans. This approach lets you change prices without having to change your provisioning scheme.

For example, you might have a single “gold” product that has plans for $10/month, $100/year, €9/month, and €90/year.

A Quote is a way to model prices that you’d like to provide to a customer. Once accepted, it will automatically create an invoice, subscription or subscription schedule.

Subscriptions allow you to charge a customer on a recurring basis.

Subscription items allow you to create customer subscriptions with more than one plan, making it easy to represent complex billing relationships.

A subscription schedule allows you to create and manage the lifecycle of a subscription by predefining expected changes.

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 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 Custom accounts, the properties below are always returned. For other accounts, some properties are returned until that account has started to go through Connect Onboarding. Once you create an Account Link for a Standard or Express account, some parameters are no longer returned. These are marked as Custom Only or Custom and Express below. Learn about the differences between accounts.

Login Links are single-use login link for an Express account to access their Stripe dashboard.

Account Links are the means by which a Connect platform grants a connected account permission to access Stripe-hosted applications, such as Connect Onboarding.

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.

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

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.

Transactions represent changes to a FinancialAccount’s balance.

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.

Use OutboundPayments to send funds to another party’s external bank account or FinancialAccount. To send money to an account belonging to the same user, use an OutboundTransfer.

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

Use InboundTransfers to add funds to your FinancialAccount via a PaymentMethod that is owned by you. The funds will be transferred via an ACH debit.

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.

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.

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.
