Removes the source type parameter when creating new Stripe balance payment methods Public preview
What’s new
Removes the ability to specify the source_type when creating Stripe balance payment methods. source_type is now set to null for new Stripe balance payment methods.
Impact
Previously, the source_type parameter was required when creating Stripe balance payment methods. You can no longer specify the source_type when creating Stripe balance payment methods—Stripe now returns an error if you include source_type.
If your integration creates Stripe balance payment methods, update your code to remove the source_type parameter during creation, as well as handle cases where this property is null.
Existing Stripe balance payment methods are not affected by this change.
