Request IDs

Each API request has an associated request identifier. You can find this value in the response headers, under Request-Id. You can also find request identifiers in the URLs of individual request logs in your Dashboard.

To expedite the resolution process, provide the request identifier when you contact us about a specific request.

Connected Accounts

If you use Stripe Connect, you can issue requests on behalf of your connected accounts. To act as a connected account, include a Stripe-Account header containing the connected account ID, which typically starts with the acct_ prefix.

The connected account ID is set per-request. Methods on the returned object reuse the same account ID.

Versioning

Each major release, such as Acacia, includes changes that aren’t backward-compatible with previous releases. Upgrading to a new major release can require updates to existing code. Each monthly release includes only backward-compatible changes, and uses the same name as the last major release. You can safely upgrade to a new monthly release without breaking any existing code. The current version is 2026-08-26.dahlia. For information on all API versions, view our API changelog.

By default, requests made with curl use your Stripe account’s default API version (controlled in Workbench) unless you override it by setting the Stripe-Version header.

Webhook events also use your account’s API version by default, unless you set an API version during endpoint creation.

You can upgrade your API version in Workbench. As a precaution, use API versioning to test a new API version before committing to an upgrade.
