Paid Memberships Pro is always tested and integrated on the latest API release—which Stripe provides updates for roughly every quarter.

PMPro specifies the latest Stripe API version in our API calls in the code, but Stripe will continue to send webhook messages in the format based on the API version set in your Stripe Dashboard.

It’s important to periodically upgrade your Stripe API version when updates are available.

How to Update Your Stripe API Version

  1. Log in to your Stripe Dashboard
  2. Go to “Developers”
  3. Locate the box labeled “API Version”
  4. If an update is available, there will be a button at the top right of this box labeled “Upgrade available…”. Click this link to upgrade your API Version.

How to Roll Back to an Earlier API Version

If you upgrade your API version and find issues with your membership site, you can roll back to a previous API version by clicking the same button you used to upgrade it.

Please reach out to us on the contact form if you upgrade to the latest API and encounter issues with checkout. It is important to that we stay compatible with the latest Stripe API version.
