SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Upgrading Stripe API versions and SDKs involves breaking changes, version pairing rules, and testing requirements that are easy to miss, risking failed payments or broken webhook handlers. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Version Upgrade Guidance: Explains Stripe's date-based API versioning (e.g., 2026-07-29.dahlia) and distinguishes backward-compatible changes from breaking changes. - Multi-Platform Coverage: Covers server-side SDKs (Python, Ruby, Node.js, Java, Go, .NET), Stripe.js evergreen releases, and iOS/Android/React Native mobile SDKs. - Upgrade Checklist & Testing: Provides a step-by-step checklist and shows how to test new versions safely using the Stripe-Version header. - Use Case: Your backend pins an old Stripe API version and you need to migrate to 2026-07-29.dahlia. Use this Skill to review breaking changes, update the apiVersion parameter, and validate webhooks before switching. ## Quick Start Help me upgrade my Stripe integration to API version 2026-07-29.dahlia and review what breaking changes affect my code.

FAQPage Schema
How do I upgrade my Stripe API version?▼

Review the Stripe API changelog for breaking changes, update your server-side SDK package, set the apiVersion parameter in your Stripe client initialization, and test against the new version using the Stripe-Version header before switching your default.

How to test a new Stripe API version without changing my account default?▼

Send requests with the Stripe-Version header set to the target version, or set apiVersion in your SDK client configuration. This lets you validate behavior against the new version while your account default remains unchanged.

Should I set a custom API version for Stripe Java, Go, or .NET SDKs?▼

No. Strongly-typed SDKs pin a fixed API version matching the SDK release, and response objects may not match the strong types if you override it. Instead, upgrade the SDK package itself to target a newer API version.

Does Stripe.js versioning relate to the Stripe API version?▼

Yes. Each Stripe.js major release (Acacia, Basil, Clover, Dahlia) automatically pairs with its corresponding API version, and you cannot override this association. For example, Dahlia Stripe.js uses the 2026-07-29.dahlia API.

What Stripe changes are considered breaking versus backward-compatible?▼

Breaking changes include field renames or removals, behavioral modifications, and removed endpoints or parameters. Backward-compatible changes include new resources, optional parameters, new response properties, and new webhook event types.
