FAQ

Questions about Update Charge.

What does the Update Charge action do in Stripe?

Updates a Stripe charge with new description, metadata, or shipping. Money fields are immutable post-charge.

What inputs does Update Charge require?

Required: Charge ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Stripe returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Update Charge support batch operations?

Yes. Run Update Charge inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Stripe's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
