hi there, can you share a request id [0] where you've created the Checkout Session? it'd look like req_xxx

#

the payment_intent_data is only for for Checkout Sessions in payment mode : https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-payment_intent_data

#

right now you're creating mode=subscription

#

you have a format issue with your code, but even if you fixed it, the PaymentIntent metadata wouldn't be passed in

#

can you share more on why do you need the metadata on the PaymentIntent?

#

I am trying to fetch the invoice using PaymentIntent object but the created session always returns null for payment intent hence I cant obtain it from there.

im usin the metadata to send some pk's from our db so I can create an object after the session has completed

#

what are pk's?

shrewd bison Aug 23, 2022, 4:33 AM

#

primary keys

#

couldn't you add the metadata to the Checkout Session object and use the checkout.session.completed event instead?

#

or alternatively, if you want the metadata to live on the Subscription object instead, you can use https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-subscription_data-metadata

#

that works but since I dont get the payment intent id when a checkout session is created (it returns null for some reason) I have to use the payment_intent.succeeded event hence the metadata problem

formal needle Aug 23, 2022, 4:38 AM

#

i think my question is why do you need the PaymentIntent event specifically?

#

there're multiple other events which you can use instead

#

for example checkout.session.completed or invoice.paid or customer.subscription.created

#

I just need a way to retrieve the invoice but I am unable to find a straightforward way to do it. That is why im using payment intents to get the invoice.

I will look into the ones recommended above.

#

i'd suggest listening for invoice.paid then - there's a subscription parameter which you can use to identify which Subscription it's for : https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-subscription

#

if you need to know why the invoice is created, you can refer to the billing_reason : https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-billing_reason
