Stripe

Recently shipped new private-preview APIs for payment plans and risk signals, plus currency capabilities aimed at cutting FX costs for global businesses.

New currency capabilities target cross-border FX costs. Businesses can now hold, convert, and pay out in more currencies to reduce conversion expenses as cross-border payment volume grows over 40% annually since 2018. New confirm and fx_quote methods on MoneyManagement.PayoutIntent support these flows.

Private-preview SDKs expanded risk, signals, and payment plan APIs.

• New V2.Risk.Inquiry, V2.Signals.AccountActivity, and V2.Signals.AccountEvaluation resources.
• New PaymentPlan resource with create/list/retrieve/update methods; Billing.FeedbackOption replaced plural Billing.FeedbackOptions (breaking change).
• New V2.MoneyManagement.ReceivedDebitMandate resource; wechat_pay_payments support for account settings.
• Tax address resolution via V2.Tax.OperationsResolveAddressResult.

Published analysis on monetization trends and stablecoin demand. A Stripe survey of 2,300+ independent workers found 57% want stablecoin payouts. Pricing leaders at Stripe Sessions and Tours report the traditional revenue playbook is breaking down as AI shifts software economics.

CLI improved agent detection, OAuth, and docs navigation.

• stripe provision added as an alias for stripe projects add; OAuth login flow with token revocation on login --new-session.
• Agent host and self-reported identifiers captured in telemetry; categorized error reporting; docs TUI back-navigation and scroll restoration.
• Supply-chain hardening for GitHub Actions workflows and a fix for fixture .env injection.

SDK stable releases added event parsing helpers. stripe-node v22.5.0 and stripe-python v15.5.0 added constructEventWithoutVerification methods for pre-verified events from EventBridge and Event Grid, plus a Claude Code plugin hint at module load.
