Hello
What happens when you try to delete the price first? What error did you see?

bleak scaffold May 2, 2025, 2:15 PM

#

I didn't recieve any errors when I delete the prices. Just the error above when I try to delete the product

#

unless there is a flaw in how I am deleting the prices

#

I can dig into it

#

Before I spent a few hours debugging I wanted to be sure that I can delete the product once the prices are removed?

#

Yeah double check if you've successfully deleted the price. Also, Can you share the product / price IDs?

Before I spent a few hours debugging I wanted to be sure that I can delete the product once the prices are removed?
Good question. I think you can if the product/price hasn't been used for a subscription / payment

#

Well thats a pretty big if

midnight solstice May 2, 2025, 2:18 PM

#

Ah you can only archive a price

bleak scaffold May 2, 2025, 2:18 PM

#

what I suppose to do once they have been used?

midnight solstice May 2, 2025, 2:18 PM

#

nvm

#

You can update the price from active -> true to false
https://docs.stripe.com/api/prices/update#update_price-active

bleak scaffold May 2, 2025, 2:19 PM

#

ok...yeah I see in my notes that you don't even offer an api delete price endpoint

https://docs.stripe.com/products-prices/manage-prices?dashboard-or-api=dashboard#delete-price

bleak scaffold May 2, 2025, 2:20 PM

#

so, if I mark active = false it will let me delete the prroduct

#

Everything I am doing is with the api

midnight solstice May 2, 2025, 2:21 PM

#

Gotcha. There are no workarounds to delete a price if it's been used though. So using the API versus the dashboard doesnt' matter much

bleak scaffold May 2, 2025, 2:22 PM

#

So the products are just stuck in the account forever?

midnight solstice May 2, 2025, 2:24 PM

#

Unfortunately, yeah..
If this is in test mode - you can delete all test mode data to clear out the objects but in live mode that's not possible.

The reason behind this is to keep the associated object history for customers who have purchased the products you're trying to delete.

#

Ok. Thank you for your help.

midnight solstice May 2, 2025, 2:25 PM

#

NP! Sorry for the confusion earlier as I thought you were trying to delete an unused product
