Breaking changes

Auto-populates the statement descriptor and prefix in the Accounts APIBreaking changes

What’s new

In priority order, automatically sets the statement descriptor (when unset), to the first of the following supplied parameters:

  • business_profile.name
  • business_profile.url
  • company.name or individual.first_name and individual.last_name (dependent on the business_type)

Impact

The statement descriptor is only set automatically when you provide one of these fields as a parameter, so existing accounts aren’t impacted unless a dependent field is updated. Similarly, settings.card_payments.statement_descriptor_prefix now defaults to a shortened version of the settings.payments.statement_descriptor. This takes place whenever the statement descriptor is updated (either explicitly or when defaulted).

Upgrade

  1. View your current API version in Workbench.
  2. If you use an SDK, upgrade to the corresponding SDK version for this API version.
    • If you don’t use an SDK, update your API requests to include Stripe-Version: 2023-10-16
  3. Upgrade the API version used for webhook endpoints.
  4. Test your integration against the new version.
  5. If you use Connect, test your Connect integration.
  6. In Workbench, perform the upgrade. You can roll back the version for 72 hours.
