How do I test a new API version safely?

The skill provides guidance on using the 'Stripe-Version' header in your API requests or client initialization to test new versions without changing your account default.

Can I use this for mobile app upgrades?

Absolutely. It includes versioning models and best practices for iOS, Android, and React Native Stripe SDKs, including semantic versioning details.

What is the current recommended Stripe API version?

The skill identifies 2026-01-28.clover as the latest version and uses it as the default target unless a different version is specified.

Does this skill support strongly-typed languages like Go or Java?

Yes, it provides specific instructions for strongly-typed languages, advising on SDK updates rather than manual version overrides to maintain type safety.
