So we have a generic microservice that creates payment intents for different client applications, when we handle webhook requests we need a way to identify which client application was it to take customized actions
I found that there is a field called 'application' in payment intent, but its only on response object
looking for something like this 'application' attribute while creating the payment intent to set 'application':'clientName'

I found that there is a field called 'application' in payment intent, but its on...
Can you share an example? Not familiar with that field
loud lance
and then while webhook processing check application == 'clientName'
application
string
EXPANDABLE "APPLICATION"
CONNECT ONLY
ID of the Connect application that created the PaymentIntent.
just want to know how to set this application while creating paymentIntetn
uncut geyser
You don't set that field, it's computed from other parameters you pass when creating the PI (depending on what kind of Connect charges you're making)
Do you have an example pi_xxx ID I can look at
uncut geyser
Correct, that's expected. You're not using Connect?
loud lance
no, what is connect?
uncut geyser
It facilitates multi-party payments. The fields you're referencing is only applicable if you're using Connect

In any case, you should just set metadata on the PI: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/create#create_payment_intent-metadata
loud lance
ok got it..
also
we need to use the charges object inside the payment intent to get metda data?
uncut geyser
Nope, it'll be on the Payment Intent object
