Known Pitfalls

PitfallDetail
Search query syntax
STRIPE_GET_V1_CUSTOMERS_SEARCH_CUSTOMERS
requires field-prefixed queries (e.g.,
email:'x'
). Bare strings without field prefixes are invalid and will error.
Subscription payment method
default_payment_method
is not required if using
trial_period_days
or
collection_method='send_invoice'
. Otherwise, the subscription may fail to activate.
Payment method attachmentA
PaymentMethod
must be in a detached state before attaching to a customer. Already-attached methods will error.
Pagination cursorsUse
starting_after
/
ending_before
with object IDs, not page numbers. Extract the last/first object ID from each response.
Balance amounts in centsAll monetary amounts are in the smallest currency unit (e.g., cents for USD). 1000 = $10.00.
Subscription status default
GET_CUSTOMERS_CUSTOMER_SUBSCRIPTIONS
excludes canceled subscriptions by default. Pass
status: "all"
to include them.
