hi there!

#

From the dashboard, I can delete a price if it has never been used, without affecting the product. However, I don’t see any endpoint related to deleting a price object via the API.
correct, you can't delete a price with the API. but you could set active: false https://docs.stripe.com/api/prices/update#update_price-active

Hi Soma

#

Indeed, I can set the active parameter to false with the API but if there is only one price and if it's the default price, it will return an error that say i can't

#

ah maybe yes

#

With the dashboard, i can archive a price even if it's the default price

quaint herald Feb 3, 2025, 9:24 AM

#

yes API and Dashboard work differently

Ok and i would like to know if i manage to delete a product via the API, it's price will be delete as well (indirectly) ?

#

Maybe that's the only solution for me if i want to delete a price that is not used ?

#

Or, another suggestion, is there a way to remove the default price attribute via the API ?

#

I just tried, and got an error: This product cannot be deleted because it has one or more user-created prices.

#

so no, you just can't delete a Price with the API

#

but note there's no limit to how many price you can have. so you can just ignore the price you ar enot using (or set them as inactive if needed)

#

Ok, I'll have to check if it's possible to archive a price. If not, i can try to delete the product and if it's not possible, i'll just archive and let the price active ?
That's the only way with the API ?

#

Do you know if Stripe will evolve the API in order to make a catalog cleanup easier ?

#

I'm not sure how it works exactly, so I recommend doing some tests in test mode to see what works.
