Is there a possibility to increase the number of campaigns running for a merchant (currently limited to 2)? If so, is there API call to retrieve actual limit? Thanks!
You're limited to two active campaigns per venue. You can create more, non-active campaigns if you'd like, but there can't be more than two active specials on a given venue.

I have a long list of old customers (>10K) in Stripe for which I would like to give a new trial period. Is there a way to bulk process those or we have to do that manually one by one?
I guess this depends entirely on what exactly you mean by 'new trial'. Do these customers have pre-existing Stripe subscriptions?
There's really no way to do this via the dashboard. However if there are no pre-existing subscriptions, you could programmatically create subscriptions for each customer object accordingly. You can specify the trial period on the price or on a per subscription basis.
As there are no batch endpoints for these operations, please be wary of the rate limiting if working with the API in this way
I am creating a Stripe Connect marketplace which charges a fixed fee based on value of sales, e.g. up to £2500 of revenue (for a connected account in a calendar month) will incur a flat fee of £200 per month to the platform.
I have read the Stripe documentation but still quite unclear how I can achieve this using a Standard Connect account. I understand the concept behind adding a flat fee per transaction but my use case is based around the amount of revenue over a time period.
Any help is always appreciated.
it sounds like you want to keep track of the payments processed by your connected accounts in order to figure out what to charge them.
The best way to do this is probably to set up a Connect webhook and listen for events like charge.succeeded and keep a running total each month for each account.
You have a number of options for charging your accounts, but using Billing to create a subscription that you update as their revenue grows is probably the best experience. You could also use metered billing with pricing tiers based on the payments you track.
If you need to calculate historic revenue, you'd need to manually retrieve the payments and calculate the total for the month(s) you're interested in.
NOTE: For both the webhook events and the retrieval approaches you'd need to be aware of several different objects other than Charges that may affect revenue up or down, like PaymentIntents, Refunds, Disputes etc depending on the details of the connect account's integration.
Hope that helps!
I would like to use Stripe for a physical subscription site.
Small number of SKUs
Some customers pick up instead of ship
Customers whose addresses are in one state are charged state and local sales tax
I'd like to use Stripe Subscriptions to do this but shipping costs and state/local taxes will be slightly different for every single customer and but unlike in the Stripe Orders API, it does not look like Subscriptions allows for me to dynamically calculate shipping and taxes. Is my reading of this correct, or is there a way for me to programatically edit recurring shipping and taxes on a per-subscription basis?
Thank you!
Answer via #mattwc in #stripe freenode: An invoice is created by the subscription each period 1 hour before it is charged. You can subscribe to this event via webhook and edit the invoice to add shipping and tax information.
i have a use case where its possible for a user to accumulate multiple unpaid invoices with a stripe subscription (which would be marked as overdue). The only way i see to pay the invoices via the API would be to pay each one as a separate manual invoice payment (thus producing X lines items on a users credit card).
Is there any way to combine all unpaid invoices into one payment ?
It's not something that the Stripe API supports. The best solution would be to create a one-time charge for the total amount of all the invoices and then mark each invoice as forgiven.
You could also create multiple invoice items, one for each invoice with a clear description and amount and then invoice the list so that your customer knows what he's paying for.
From the Stripe docs, it suggests that you can batch multiple transactions together but only if the customer has a payment method saved (and it still may require some custom programming to get it working the way you want):
https://support.stripe.com/questions/batch-multiple-transactions-from-one-customer-into-a-single-charge
Stripe docs also offers this option as well, on combining multiple products into one subscription:
https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/multiple
Yes, You can combine multiple invoices using pass stripe customer id in to
/Stripe/Invoices::retrieve({customer_id});
You can get all the invoice of the customer, you can also search date wise invoices using a function.
I want to create a job that runs once a month and charges customers for different fees.
Is it possible to charge multiple customers in one api call ?
If not, what is the rate limit of the api ?
There is no way to charge multiple customers in one API call. You'd need to create one charge for each customer. As for the rate limit of the API, it's not published officially and you'd need to contact Stripe's support directly about this here.
