Old Stripe API using

Hi @enumis

Thank you for reaching out.

The Stripe API version cannot be updated manually. It is managed automatically by the WooCommerce Stripe Gateway plugin, so there isn’t an option within WooCommerce or the plugin to change it.

If you’re already using the latest version of the WooCommerce Stripe Gateway plugin, you’re already using the latest API version supported by the plugin. The plugin handles API compatibility automatically, so there is typically no need to manually update the API version.

Could you let us know why you’re looking to update the Stripe API version? Are you encountering a specific error or issue? If so, please share more details, including any error messages or screenshots, and we’ll be happy to investigate further.

Hi @enumis!

I completely understand your concern. It’s natural to wonder whether using an older API version means you’re missing out on improvements.

The Stripe API version used by the WooCommerce Stripe Gateway plugin is intentionally pinned to a stable version. Stripe maintains backward compatibility for pinned API versions, so using an older API version doesn’t mean the integration is outdated or less secure.

Additionally, new Stripe API releases often introduce new features, but those features require changes in the plugin itself before they can be used. Simply updating the API version wouldn’t automatically provide those enhancements.

As long as you’re using the latest version of the WooCommerce Stripe Gateway plugin and everything is working as expected, you’re receiving the latest fixes, compatibility updates, and security improvements. When it’s appropriate to adopt a newer Stripe API version, it will be included in a future plugin update.

I hope that helps clarify why the API version may appear older even though the integration is fully supported.
