Hello

limpid flume Apr 10, 2024, 7:43 PM

#

Hi

grizzled breach Apr 10, 2024, 7:43 PM

#

No, you can't update a Price itself once it has been used.

#

You would create a new Price in this case

limpid flume Apr 10, 2024, 7:43 PM

#

Okay but what about changing the old price id so I can have a new price_id with the same name?

grizzled breach Apr 10, 2024, 7:46 PM

#

Hmm not sure I understand what you mean by that? You can't update a Price's ID, no.

limpid flume Apr 10, 2024, 7:46 PM

#

so I'm screwed, I've gotta rebuild all of these

grizzled breach Apr 10, 2024, 7:48 PM

#

I'm not really sure what you are trying to do here but the way the API works is that object IDs are always immutable and Prices are immutable once used.

limpid flume Apr 10, 2024, 7:48 PM

#

I've got a price_id with the wrong price but 20 prices inside a product

#

The price_id that was purchased was for a value of 499 instead of 449

#

all the other 19 price id amounts are correct

#

We depend on the price id being a certain way

grizzled breach Apr 10, 2024, 7:51 PM

#

Okay so you can inactivate that current Price that is an incorrect amount and create a new one to be used that is the correct amount?

grizzled breach Apr 10, 2024, 7:51 PM

#

limpid flume We depend on the price id being a certain way

Yeah I'm sorry I really don't know what that means

limpid flume Apr 10, 2024, 7:51 PM

#

pro-annual-v3-1

#

pro-annual-v3-1 where the 1 is a tier

#

we have pro-annual-v3-2 => pro-annual-v3-20

grizzled breach Apr 10, 2024, 7:53 PM

#

Ah okay you have mapped to your custom IDs, which yeah we really don't recommend using custom IDs in general (we actually prevent it by default)

#

Okay I understand your issue now

limpid flume Apr 10, 2024, 7:53 PM

#

We really need the custom IDs though - it's old software

grizzled breach Apr 10, 2024, 7:54 PM

#

Hmm have you tried updating the ID?

#

I assume we error

#

But I haven't tested this myself

limpid flume Apr 10, 2024, 7:54 PM

#

can I make a new price id with the same name?

grizzled breach Apr 10, 2024, 7:56 PM

#

I don't think so, but you should test it out in test mode

#

This isn't a public feature so I'm not positive on its behavior

limpid flume Apr 10, 2024, 7:58 PM

#

okay, and I can't update the price_id via the API either?

grizzled breach Apr 10, 2024, 7:59 PM

#

If the feature is enabled and we allow this to be updated then it should be allowed via the API or Dashboard.

limpid flume Apr 10, 2024, 8:01 PM

#

Can I access docs for older API versions?

grizzled breach Apr 10, 2024, 8:01 PM

#

Unfortunately no

#

Other than our changelog

#

https://docs.stripe.com/upgrades

#

That documents the different breaking changes for each API version

limpid flume Apr 10, 2024, 8:05 PM

#

So to recap,

Once a price_id has been used in a payment,

I can't update the price amount
I can't update the price id
I can't cancel/delete the payment and then delete the price id

I can archive a price and then delete the price but ultimately I can't ever use that same price id ever again.

Can I use the price id under a different product id?

grizzled breach Apr 10, 2024, 8:05 PM

#

I really don't know the above for custom Price IDs

#

So you really need to test that stuff out

#

For standard Price IDs that we provide, those things are true (you can't update/delete it once used)

limpid flume Apr 10, 2024, 8:18 PM

#

sounds good - Can I use the price id under a different product id?

#

were you addressing that above too

grizzled breach Apr 10, 2024, 8:19 PM

#

Yeah that was included in the above. I think you can, but you should test

limpid flume Apr 10, 2024, 8:19 PM

#

gotcha, thanks for your help, if I can add the price ids under a new product with the same name, I think I'm in good shape
