New Event Types

Stripe now supports real-time notifications for reserve fund management through seven new event types:

• reserve.hold.created and reserve.hold.updated: Track when reserve holds are created or modified
• reserve.release.created: Fired when funds are released from reserve
• reserve.plan.created, reserve.plan.updated, reserve.plan.expired, and reserve.plan.disabled: Monitor the full lifecycle of reserve plans

What Developers Need to Do

To use these events, developers must upgrade to API version 2026-02-25.clover. This requires:

• Upgrading to the latest SDK version for your language (Ruby, Python, PHP, Java, Node.js, Go, or .NET)
• Updating webhook endpoint configurations to use the new API version
• Testing your integration against the new version before deploying to production
• If using Stripe Connect, testing Connect-specific integrations as well

Key Benefits

These new events enable automated workflows around reserve fund management, such as:

• Building dashboards that react to hold and release events
• Triggering notifications when reserve plans expire or are disabled
• Integrating reserve management with existing payment processing systems
• Monitoring compliance and reserve status changes in real time

Note that API version changes can be rolled back within 72 hours if needed, allowing for safe testing and validation.
