Hi 👋

There are very few things you can update about a price

#

What are you trying to do?

azure lance Sep 23, 2022, 11:04 PM

#

Hello mate!

#

To update a price object unit amount

raven ginkgo Sep 23, 2022, 11:04 PM

#

https://stripe.com/docs/api/prices/update

Stripe API reference – Update a price – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

#

Nope, can't do it

#

Gotta make a new one

azure lance Sep 23, 2022, 11:05 PM

#

Ouchie but I can vía Dashboard if unused

#

But I can't either delete it :/

raven ginkgo Sep 23, 2022, 11:05 PM

#

Well the Dashboard does some things under the hood that are not directly enabled in the API.

azure lance Sep 23, 2022, 11:05 PM

#

Oh lort hahaha

raven ginkgo Sep 23, 2022, 11:05 PM

#

You can set active to true

azure lance Sep 23, 2022, 11:06 PM

#

So archieve is the only exit here?

raven ginkgo Sep 23, 2022, 11:06 PM

#

Sorry, false

#

Yes that's the only clear resolution path using the API

azure lance Sep 23, 2022, 11:07 PM

#

So only delete also via Dashboard if unused n?

#

Ouchie may I know why can't this be also done via public endpoints or public API?

raven ginkgo Sep 23, 2022, 11:09 PM

#

Because it isn't exposed as an option. Unfortunately that's as far as I know for certain.

#

It should be better documented though and I can file that feedback

azure lance Sep 23, 2022, 11:10 PM

#

Dang well would be great to have this documented 🙂

#

Just one last question if you don't mind if I messed it up with the alternative currency it can be also edited via Dashboard if unused?

#

Or can it be done via API?

raven ginkgo Sep 23, 2022, 11:13 PM

#

What do you mean alternative currency? Could you describe the scenario in a bit more detail?

azure lance Sep 23, 2022, 11:14 PM

#

Well I created an Usd price and added a currency option let's say in Eur

#

But a wrong amount too

#

Can I edit that currency option. Or rip?

raven ginkgo Sep 23, 2022, 11:16 PM

#

Yes you can. Its one of the available parameters: https://stripe.com/docs/api/prices/update#update_price-currency_options

Stripe API reference – Update a price – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

#

If you take a look at our API reference doc it will list the documented parameters (even if it doesn't tell you a whole lot about what they do)

azure lance Sep 23, 2022, 11:17 PM

#

Well I asked because I just tried and it told me I'm trying to edit an immutable field

raven ginkgo Sep 23, 2022, 11:17 PM

#

Do you have that request ID?

azure lance Sep 23, 2022, 11:17 PM

#

Oof, req_7zi1aDRkY3uqxU

#

Oops sorry wrong one

#

req_wQ2BIreR2Q1uYw

raven ginkgo Sep 23, 2022, 11:19 PM

#

Thanks! looking

azure lance Sep 23, 2022, 11:25 PM

#

Than you for your help here mate :). Am I doing something wrong there?

raven ginkgo Sep 23, 2022, 11:25 PM

#

I'm a little confused here myself.

azure lance Sep 23, 2022, 11:26 PM

#

Lmfao 🙂 so we are two now

raven ginkgo Sep 23, 2022, 11:30 PM

#

Okay no it looks like, once that is set it cannot be changed

#

That needs to be documented!

#

I mean, I get it. It's like the same as changing the unit amount. But it should be spelled out clearly

azure lance Sep 23, 2022, 11:33 PM

#

Well I found something related but I was really shocked cuz prices amount updates can be done (not for currency options) via Dashboard regardless of what is displayed on docs

raven ginkgo Sep 23, 2022, 11:33 PM

#

Yeah, I am not a fan of this divergence

azure lance Sep 23, 2022, 11:33 PM

#

Yeah im really confused for sure lol

raven ginkgo Sep 23, 2022, 11:33 PM

#

But I think it's because the API cannot do the check the Dashboard does (if the price has been used or not)

azure lance Sep 23, 2022, 11:34 PM

#

Could be but that would be good info for us devs

#

Cuz I was hoping to find solutions let's say for mistakes when creating prices

#

And I think giving access to Dashboard is not good idea lolz

raven ginkgo Sep 23, 2022, 11:35 PM

#

For sure, I agree.

azure lance Sep 23, 2022, 11:35 PM

#

But can't be deleted either updated.... What a nice wall I found lmfao

#

Well @raven ginkgo really appreciate your time and help here 🙂 hope the team clearly document this or give us access 😉

raven ginkgo Sep 23, 2022, 11:36 PM

#

I've filed a couple of feature requests to update the docs based on this conversation. Hopefully we can get some clarity

azure lance Sep 23, 2022, 11:37 PM

#

Sweet, awesome help here mate 🙂
