Migration Guides

Migrating from versions < 11.4.0

• The STPBackendAPIAdapter protocol and all associated methods are no longer deprecated. We still recommend using STPCustomerContext to update a Stripe customer object on your behalf, rather than using your own implementation of STPBackendAPIAdapter.

Migrating from versions < 11.3.0

• Changes to STPCard, STPCardParams, STPBankAccount, and STPBankAccountParams
  • STPCard no longer subclasses from STPCardParams. You must now specifically create STPCardParams objects to create new tokens.
  • STPBankAccount no longer subclasses from STPBankAccountParams.
  • You can no longer directly create STPCard objects, you should only use ones that have been decoded from Stripe API responses via STPAPIClient.
  • All STPCard and STPBankAccount properties have been made readonly.
  • Broken out individual address properties on STPCard and STPCardParams have been deprecated in favor of the grouped address property.
• The value of [STPAPIResponseDecodable allResponseFields] is now completely (deeply) filtered to not contain any instances of [NSNull null]. Previously, only [NSNull null] one level deep (shallow) were removed.

Migrating from versions < 11.2.0

• STPCustomer's shippingAddress property is now correctly annotated as nullable. Its type is an optional (STPAddress?) in Swift.

Migrating from versions < 11.0.0

• We've greatly simplified the integration for STPPaymentContext. In order to migrate to the new STPPaymentContext integration using ephemeral keys, you'll need to:
  1. On your backend, add a new endpoint that creates an ephemeral key for the Stripe customer associated with your user, and returns its raw JSON. Note that you should not remove the 3 endpoints you added for your initial PaymentContext integration until you're ready to drop support for previous versions of your app.
  2. In your app, make your API client class conform to STPEphemeralKeyProvider by adding a method that requests an ephemeral key from the endpoint you added in (1).
  3. In your app, remove any references to STPBackendAPIAdapter. Your API client class will no longer need to conform to STPBackendAPIAdapter, and you can delete the retrieveCustomer, attachSourceToCustomer, and selectDefaultCustomerSource methods.
  4. Instead of using the initializers for STPPaymentContext or STPPaymentMethodsViewController that take an STPBackendAPIAdapter parameter, you should use the new initializers that take an STPCustomerContext parameter. You'll need to set up your instance of STPCustomerContext using the key provider you set up in (2).
• For a more detailed overview of the new integration, you can refer to our tutorial at https://stripe.com/docs/mobile/ios/standard
• [STPFile stringFromPurpose:] now returns nil for STPFilePurposeUnknown. Will return a non-nil value for all other STPFilePurpose.
• We've removed the email and phone properties in STPUserInformation. You can pre-fill this information in the shipping form using the new shippingAddress property.
• The SMS card fill feature has been removed from STPPaymentContext, as well as the associated smsAutofillDisabled configuration option (ie it will now always behave as if it is disabled).

Migrating from versions < 10.2.0

• paymentRequestWithMerchantIdentifier: has been deprecated. You should instead use paymentRequestWithMerchantIdentifier:country:currency:. Apple Pay is now available in many countries and currencies, and you should use the appropriate values for your business.
• We've added a paymentCountry property to STPPaymentContext. This affects the countryCode of Apple Pay payments, and defaults to "US". You should set this to the country your Stripe account is in.
• Polling for source object updates is deprecated. Check https://stripe.com/docs for the latest best practices on how to integrate with the sources API using webhooks.
• paymentMethodsViewController:didSelectPaymentMethod: is now optional. If you have an empty implementation of this method, you can remove it.

Migrating from versions < 10.1.0

• STPPaymentMethodsViewControllerDelegate now has a separate paymentMethodsViewControllerDidCancel: callback, differentiating from successful method selections. You should make sure to also dismiss the view controller in that callback.

Migrating from versions < 10.0

• Methods deprecated in Version 6.0 have now been removed.
• The STPSource protocol has been renamed STPSourceProtocol.
• STPSource is now a model object representing a source from the Stripe API. https://stripe.com/docs/sources
• STPCustomer will now include STPSource objects in its sources array if a customer has attached sources.
• STPErrorCode and STPCardErrorCode are now first class Swift enums (before, their types were Int and String, respectively)

Migrating from versions < 9.0

Version 9.0 drops support for iOS 7.x and Xcode 7.x. If you need to support iOS or Xcode versions below 8.0, the last compatible Stripe SDK release is version 8.0.7.

Migrating from versions < 6.0

6.0 moves most of the contents of STPCard into a new class, STPCardParams, which represents a request to the Stripe API. STPCard now only refers to responses from the Stripe API. Most apps should be able to simply replace all usage of STPCard with STPCardParams - you should only use STPCard if you're dealing with an API response, e.g. a card attached to an STPToken. This renaming has been done in a way that will avoid breaking changes, although using STPCards to make requests to the Stripe API will produce deprecation warnings.

Migrating from versions < 5.0

5.0 deprecates our native Stripe Checkout adapters. If you were using these, we recommend building your own credit card form instead. If you need help with this, please contact [email protected].

Migrating from versions < 3.0

Before version 3.0, most token-creation methods were class methods on the Stripe class. These are now all instance methods on the STPAPIClient class. Where previously you might write

[Stripe createTokenWithCard:card publishableKey:myPublishableKey completion:completion];

you would now instead write

STPAPIClient *client = [[STPAPIClient alloc] initWithPublishableKey:myPublishableKey];
[client createTokenWithCard:card completion:completion];

This version also made several helper classes, including STPAPIConnection and STPUtils, private. You should remove any references to them from your code (most apps shouldn't have any).

Migrating from versions < 1.2

Versions of Stripe-iOS prior to 1.2 included a class called STPView, which provided a pre-built credit card form. This functionality has been moved from Stripe-iOS to PaymentKit, a separate project. If you were using STPView prior to version 1.2, migrating is simple:

1. Add PaymentKit to your project, as explained on its project page.

2. Replace any references to STPView with a PTKView instead. Similarly, any classes that implement STPViewDelegate should now instead implement the equivalent PTKViewDelegate methods. Note that unlike STPView, PTKView does not take a Stripe API key in its constructor.

3. To submit the credit card details from your PTKView instance, where you would previously call createToken on your STPView, replace that with the following code (assuming self.paymentView is your PTKView instance):

    if (![self.paymentView isValid]) {
        return;
    }
    STPCard *card = [[STPCard alloc] init];
    card.number = self.paymentView.card.number;
    card.expMonth = self.paymentView.card.expMonth;
    card.expYear = self.paymentView.card.expYear;
    card.cvc = self.paymentView.card.cvc;
    STPAPIClient *client = [[STPAPIClient alloc] initWithPublishableKey:publishableKey];
    [client createTokenWithCard:card completion:^(STPToken *token, NSError *error) {
        if (error) {
            // handle the error as you did previously
        } else {
            // submit the token to your payment backend as you did previously
        }
    }];
   

Misc. notes

Handling errors

See StripeError.h for a list of error codes that may be returned from the Stripe API.

Validating STPCards

You have a few options for handling validation of credit card data on the client, depending on what your application does. Client-side validation of credit card data is not required since our API will correctly reject invalid card information, but can be useful to validate information as soon as a user enters it, or simply to save a network request.

The simplest thing you can do is to populate an STPCard object and, before sending the request, call - (BOOL)validateCardReturningError: on the card. This validates the entire card object, but is not useful for validating card properties one at a time.

To validate STPCard properties individually, you should use the following:

• (BOOL)validateNumber:error:
• (BOOL)validateCvc:error:
• (BOOL)validateExpMonth:error:
• (BOOL)validateExpYear:error:

These methods follow the validation method convention used by key-value validation. So, you can use these methods by invoking them directly, or by calling [card validateValue:forKey:error] for a property on the STPCard object.

When using these validation methods, you will want to set the property on your card object when a property does validate before validating the next property. This allows the methods to use existing properties on the card correctly to validate a new property. For example, validating 5 for the expMonth property will return YES if no expYear is set. But if expYear is set and you try to set expMonth to 5 and the combination of expMonth and expYear is in the past, 5 will not validate. The order in which you call the validate methods does not matter for this though.
