Unifies the billing cycle anchor format across Subscriptions and Invoices
By Steven Van ·
Subscriptions can now be paused and resumed on demand, trial offers are generally available, and several Connect and Payments parameters change.
Stripe's Endive API release (2026-09-30) is mostly about Billing, with further changes to Connect accounts, Financial Connections and Payments.
The Billing and invoicing changes are:
- The billing cycle anchor format is now the same across Subscriptions and Invoices.
- Invoice Items get invoicing rules, and those rules can be cleared. Invoice Items using classic billing mode also get proration details.
- Trial offers are generally available.
- Invoices have a detailed status explaining why they are uncollectable.
- A Subscription cancellation can be scheduled as part of a pending update.
- Subscriptions can be paused and resumed on demand.
- The Feedback Options API is new.
- Billie gets reference and company details parameters.
For Connect and accounts, Accounts v1 and v2 now return address validation errors for CMRAs and registered agents, and Accounts v2 capabilities gain a rejected status. The generic fraud rejection reason is replaced with more granular fraud reasons, and platform-initiated account rejections are now distinguished from Stripe rejections. Errors are also shown for eventually due requirements, and SEPA Direct Debit payment settings are standardised in the Accounts API. The configurations parameter is removed from the Account Links v2 API, and customer sharing gets additional shared fields.
On Financial Connections, the countries filter on Sessions is renamed to country.
The release also includes a list of breaking changes, among them the removal of the payment method types parameter from Checkout Sessions, Payment Intents and Setup Intents. The full list is in the changelog.
