Breaking changes

Renames the platform_payments capability for accounts to card_payments, requiring the manual specification of the added transfers capability Breaking changes

What’s new

Includes multiple changes:

  • Renames the platform _ payments capability to transfers to better indicate the Stripe primitives that this capability supports.
  • Updates the card _ payments capability to no longer imply transfers . When creating an account, you now need to additionally request the transfers capability.

Impact

This change renames the platform_payments capability to transfers and decouples it from the card_payments capability. You now need to explicitly request the transfers capability when creating an account, even if they also request card_payments. This modification provides clearer terminology and more granular control over account capabilities.
