Subscription Items

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

Test ClocksTest 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

Usage records allow you to report customer usage and metrics to Stripe for metered billing of subscription prices.

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 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 or Account Session, some properties are only returned for Custom accounts. Learn about the differences between accounts.

Account Session

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.

Application Fees

When you collect a transaction fee on top of a charge made for your user (using Connect), an Application Fee object is created in your account. You can list, retrieve, and refund application fees.

Related guide: Collecting application fees

Application Fee Refunds

Application Fee Refund objects allow you to refund an application fee that has previously been created but not yet refunded. Funds will be refunded to the Stripe account from which the fee was originally collected.

Country Specs

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

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

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.

Person

This is an object representing a person associated with a Stripe account.

A platform cannot access a Standard or Express account’s persons after the account starts onboarding, such as after generating an account link for the account. See the Standard onboarding or Express onboarding documentation for information about platform prefilling and account onboarding steps.

Top-ups

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

Transfers

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.

Transfer Reversals

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.

Related guide: Reversing transfers

Secrets

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.

Financial Accounts

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.

Financial Account Features

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.

Transaction Entries

TransactionEntries represent individual units of money movements within a single Transaction.

Outbound Transfers

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.

Outbound Payments

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.

Received Credits

ReceivedCredits represent funds sent to a FinancialAccount (for example, via ACH or wire). These money movements are not initiated from the FinancialAccount.

Received Debits

ReceivedDebits represent funds pulled from a FinancialAccount. These are not initiated from the FinancialAccount.

Credit Reversals

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.

Debit Reversals

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.

Scheduled Queries

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.

Report Runs

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.

Report Types

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.

Forwarding RequestPreview feature

Instructs Stripe to make a request on your behalf using the destination URL and HTTP method in the config. A config is set up for each destination URL by Stripe at the time of onboarding. Stripe verifies requests with your credentials in the config, and injects card details from the payment_method into the request.

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.
