Hi 👋

That depends on what SDK you are using. Can you tell me which programming language you are using for your Stripe integration?

hybrid goblet Apr 2, 2025, 4:26 PM

#

Using nodejs

eager yoke Apr 2, 2025, 4:27 PM

#

Okay so what you can do is hard-code the new API version when you initialize your Stripe instance in NodeJS.

We document this here

#

As long as you also use your Test API key, that will ensure you only impact Test mode

hybrid goblet Apr 2, 2025, 4:28 PM

#

That's how we do it now. We have the older version hardcoded. Updating the API version in Stripe dashboard will affect live and test mode webhooks, right?

eager yoke Apr 2, 2025, 4:28 PM

#

Correct

#

We include some language regarding recommendations for API version upgrades here

hybrid goblet Apr 2, 2025, 4:31 PM

#

Yeah, thought so. So I guess there's no way to have separate versions of Stripe API in live and test mode on the dashboard.

#

I'm following this document. Thank you so much for your quick response

eager yoke Apr 2, 2025, 4:32 PM

#

No but that is what Sandboxes were designed for.

#

But I understand that, which Connect integrations, it can be difficult to keep track of

#

That's the trade-off. Sandboxes get their own Account ID so you can make fundamental changes without impacting your Live accout

hybrid goblet Apr 2, 2025, 4:32 PM

#

Yes, totally. We'll just need to make changes to support different connect accounts for sandbox vs live account. Sandbox is super helpful btw.

eager yoke Apr 2, 2025, 4:33 PM

#

Because Test mode is still the same Account, there are some setting changes you cannot modify without impacting live mode

hybrid goblet Apr 2, 2025, 4:33 PM

#

Makes sense!

eager yoke Apr 2, 2025, 4:34 PM

#

I'm glad Sandboxes are helpful! Allowing users to test completely different configurations from their Live accounts does unlock a lot of experimentation

#

Without having to create a bunch of independent Stripe Accounts that only ever use Test mode

hybrid goblet Apr 2, 2025, 4:34 PM

#

Yes, exactly. Low risk too.

#

Looks like sandboxes are now productized and available for all.

eager yoke Apr 2, 2025, 4:35 PM

#

Yup! GA'd recently

hybrid goblet Apr 2, 2025, 4:37 PM

#

thanks for prompt resolution!

eager yoke Apr 2, 2025, 4:37 PM

#

Sure thing! Happy to help 🙂
