Upgrade Stripe
Upgrade Stripe API versions, server SDKs, Stripe.js, and mobile SDKs.
A safe, zero-downtime playbook for upgrading Stripe API versions and SDKs across server, Stripe.js, and mobile. It demystifies date-based versioning (Acacia, Basil, Clover), separates backward-compatible changes from breaking ones, and walks you through a tested, gradual rollout so payment upgrades never become a revenue incident.

What breaks when a Stripe API version moves? Nothing, if every step stays reversible and gets tested before commitment. The upgrade proceeds one step at a time, in this order:
- Maps the current state first: greps the codebase for the pinned apiVersion and any deprecated API usage the new release would break.
- Reads the changelog against three questions: breaking changes on the endpoints we use, new features worth adopting, deprecations with deadlines.
- Tests the target version without committing to it: single requests carry the Stripe-Version header while the account default stays untouched.
- Updates in order: the server SDK package, the explicit apiVersion in the client, then Stripe.js and the mobile SDKs so version pairing stays intact.
- Re-tests the webhook handlers against the new event structures with the Stripe CLI; unknown event types are logged, not errored, for forward compatibility.
- Rolls out gradually: staging first, then a canary slice of production traffic, with error rates watched for 24 hours before the full switch.

-
We're several API versions behind, does the playbook handle a big jump?
Yes, that's the main scenario. Date-based versions like Acacia, Basil, and Clover are mapped against a backward-compatible versus breaking change table, and the gradual strategy lets you pre-test the target version with the Stripe-Version header before pinning anything in code.
-
Can't I just bump the SDK version and run my test suite?
That's how checkout incidents happen: webhook event structures and response shapes change across versions, and a green unit suite won't catch them. The playbook pairs server SDK, Stripe.js, and mobile SDK versions, runs a 4-layer test plan, and rolls out via canary so you can revert at any stage.
-
Will it build a Stripe integration from scratch?
No. It assumes a live, working Stripe integration and focuses on moving it across versions without breaking checkout, webhooks, or compliance. Greenfield payment setup is a different job with different decisions.
