 # CHANGELOG
 
+- [#853](https://github.com/stripe/stripe-react-native/pull/853) Fix: resolve with useful error if attempting to use methods before initializing Stripe
 - [#837](https://github.com/stripe/stripe-react-native/pull/837) BREAKING CHANGE: Mostly fixes and changes to types, but some method's now accept slightly different parameters:
   - Removed `setUrlSchemeOnAndroid` in favor of `setReturnUrlSchemeOnAndroid`. `setReturnUrlSchemeOnAndroid` functions exactly the same, this is just a rename.
   - Removed `handleCardAction` in favor of `handleNextAction`. `handleNextAction` functions exactly the same, this is just a rename.
