Pay by Bank Now Available in Billing API

Stripe has integrated Pay by Bank as a supported payment method within the Billing API, allowing developers to offer direct bank account payments for subscriptions and recurring billing scenarios. This enhancement provides an additional payment option beyond traditional credit cards and digital wallets.

What's Included

The primary feature addresses the growing demand for bank transfer payment methods in subscription-based workflows. Developers can now:

• Enable Pay by Bank as a payment method for subscription creation and updates
• Leverage existing Billing API endpoints to manage Pay by Bank transactions
• Maintain consistent billing workflows across multiple payment method types

Additional Billing Improvements

Beyond Pay by Bank, Stripe also released enhanced payment behavior control for subscription item deletion in the same update. This allows more granular control over how charges and refunds are handled when modifying subscription line items.

Implementation Notes

This is a non-breaking API change, meaning existing implementations continue to function without modification. Developers interested in supporting Pay by Bank should review the Billing API documentation to understand integration requirements and regional availability for this payment method.
