#MasterJiMm - Checkout Metadata
elfin ravine
Hi 👋
We generally prefer to keep even unrelated questions from the same asker in one thread but I've got it here.
Can you share a request ID for a Checkout Session creation where you passed metadata?
Here's how you can find a request ID: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

No metadata here.
You should be able to see the arguments you provided in your logs

this is my code, is it something wrong here?
const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
payment_method_types: ['card'],
mode: 'subscription',
metadata: {
userUID,
device_id
},
Yup. metadata needs to be {key: value}. It looks like you're just providing the values
elfin ravine
I don't think so.

You are passing arguments to a function that will create an API call. If you need an example in Node.JS we have it here:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/metadata?lang=node
shut vault
yes so
metadata: {
'uid': userUID,
'deviceID': device_id
},
this thing works?
no it doesnt
elfin ravine
That should. Send in a request and see if it's present in the Body
shut vault
it doesnt work

Can you share your full syntax and request ID?
shut vault
const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
payment_method_types: ['card'],
mode: 'subscription',
metadata: {
'order_id': '6735'
},
subscription_data: {
trial_period_days: 14,
},
line_items: req.body.items.map((item) => {
const storeItem = storeItems.get(item.id);
return {
price_data: {
currency: 'usd',
product_data: {
name: storeItem.name
},
unit_amount: storeItem.priceInCents,
recurring: {interval: 'month'},
},
quantity: item.quantity,
}
}),
success_url: `http://localhost:3000/payment/success?session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}&device_id=${device_id}`,
cancel_url: "http://localhost:3000/payment/cancel"
})

It's a bit busy on the channel today. responses may be slow.
The syntax looks alright but it's clear that the Node.js stripe library is not passing any metadata to the API
shut vault
what could be wrong then
elfin ravine
Can you try making a stupid simple request? Like just copying the example in the code snippet here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create?lang=node
and add in your metadata key:value pairs?
