I know this is not the answer you want to hear (and trust me this should NOT be the answer). But if they have an API that allows you to make these updates, it might be best to use something like Postman to hit the API to make the update while you find a drop in replacement for Stripe. I'm not saying it's a long term solution. But I wouldn't want your business to suffer while you are figuring this out. If I can be of…

Postman is a decent stop gap, thanks for the suggestion

Doing this through the python library might be even easier than Postman

Stripe has bugs sometimes. I've personally submitted at least 5 that were verified by them as bugs, across all areas of their project. Most recently, they started generating phantom "subscription updated" events with nothing actually changed (which my system did NOT like).

That said, we've only been on Stripe for a year and a half, and they've made some real progress in that short time, even though I thought they were great before all of that. Compared to most of their competitors, they are still the best to work with.

For the future, there's also an IRC channel that you can reach out to for general help, in addition to the ways you tried.
