Hello, can you tell me more about where you are setting this metadata and what webhook event you are checking for it in?

warm geode Aug 22, 2022, 7:28 PM

#

I am setting the metadata inside Payments -> Readers -> Location. And the webhook end point is terminal.reader.action_succeeded

lean vortex Aug 22, 2022, 7:34 PM

#

Do you have a request ID (req_123) from a time you set this data? Also do you have an event ID (evt_123) from an event that you didn't see this data on?

warm geode Aug 22, 2022, 7:37 PM

#

this is the event id : evt_1LZfrBDXXLqevtL45FNWtQ2C

lean vortex Aug 22, 2022, 7:41 PM

#

I do see metadata set on the location

#

So what you are running in to is that metadata isn't automatically copied between objects

#

To get metadata in that event, you will need to set metadata on the reader itself

warm geode Aug 22, 2022, 7:41 PM

#

yes

lean vortex Aug 22, 2022, 7:42 PM

#

Or you can retrieve the location via the API and that will have the metadata

warm geode Aug 22, 2022, 7:42 PM

#

in the webhook end point event I am not getting it, that is my issue

#

In the webhook end point, I need that data.

lean vortex Aug 22, 2022, 7:42 PM

#

Where are you setting it on the reader itself?

warm geode Aug 22, 2022, 7:42 PM

#

can you please tell why that is missing in the data

#

I am setting this up inside Reader -> Location

lean vortex Aug 22, 2022, 7:44 PM

#

As far as I can see, tmr_EuSg9wSfwdu0KE does not have any metadata set on it. You would need to set that with a separate API call to the update reader call https://stripe.com/docs/api/terminal/readers/update

Stripe API reference – Update a Reader – curl

#

Right, Location is a separate object. metadata is not copied over from the location to the reader

warm geode Aug 22, 2022, 7:46 PM

#

so I need to update the reader with metadata, right

#

If i do so, if I update the metadata again, will it append or will it overwrite

lean vortex Aug 22, 2022, 7:54 PM

#

If you update the same key, it will overwrite it

#

If you are asking about adding a new key-value pair without changing the existing ones, I will need to check but I think we do just set the additional value

#

thanks. that clears my query. Can you please keep this chat open for 5 minutes. I will give it a try and in case if it fails, I will send you the details.

lean vortex Aug 22, 2022, 7:59 PM

#

Yep of course. We typically keep threads open for about an hour before closing though sometimes we do close them quicker when busy

warm geode Aug 22, 2022, 8:04 PM

#

thanks

#

I now updated the terminal (tmr_EuSg9wSfwdu0KE ) with metadata

#

can you please check whether it is present or not

hardy sonnet Aug 22, 2022, 8:23 PM

#

@warm geode can you try retrieving the Reader object with https://stripe.com/docs/api/terminal/readers/retrieve

#

and see if the metadata is present on it or not?

warm geode Aug 22, 2022, 8:32 PM

#

thanks I will do that.
