Hi 👋

#

The screenshots are not really useful here but if you could provide the Request ID (req_XXXXX) that would be helpful

Hii @neat wasp 🙌

neat wasp Aug 30, 2022, 5:33 PM

Also, metafield isn't a parameter. metadata is. I'm wondering if that might be an issue

shy yew Aug 30, 2022, 5:35 PM

#

ohh where do I get the request ID?

shy yew Aug 30, 2022, 5:35 PM

#

neat wasp Also, `metafield` isn't a parameter. `metadata` is. I'm wondering if that migh...

I'll try it now!

Here's how you can find a request ID: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

#

this is my request ID: req_ypZW7r6HFOwNOb

#

Thanks, looking

shy yew Aug 30, 2022, 5:42 PM

#

also I've tried change the parameter from metadata to metafield, it doesnt work

neat wasp Aug 30, 2022, 5:42 PM

#

Okay so here's the issue I am seeing. The way your curl command is structured you are passing in parameters as query params. For POST requests you need to pass it as body data -d

#

Take a look at the code snippet on the right in this doc:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/metadata?lang=curl

Hi @neat wasp

I've restructured my PHP cURL switching from parameter to body data. The result still the same.

I can pass the
"metadata": {
"invoice_number": "9000"
},

I simply want to make it visible on the transaction metadata. Is this possible?

#

Yes, absolutely you can. That is the purpose of the metadata parameter. Can you share the latest request ID?

shy yew Aug 30, 2022, 6:11 PM

#

sure.

#

Hmmmm that's the /confirm call on a Checkout payments page.

shy yew Aug 30, 2022, 6:13 PM

#

ohh sorry

neat wasp Aug 30, 2022, 6:15 PM

#

Looks good to me

#

In both the request and the returned body

shy yew Aug 30, 2022, 6:16 PM

#

Could we make it shows up here?

I don't know what you are looking at there.

shy yew Aug 30, 2022, 6:19 PM

#

we want to simply make it more visible in the payment page. at the moment, the only way to see it is in the event data show as a json format. is it possible to configure the payment page to show/highlight specific data?

neat wasp Aug 30, 2022, 6:20 PM

#

What do you mean "in the payment page"? I don't know what record you are looking at. Do you mean in the dashboard? If so, what is the object ID for the thing you are looking at?

shy yew Aug 30, 2022, 6:20 PM

#

sorry, yes we were referring to the dashboard.

#

how do we locate the object id?

neat wasp Aug 30, 2022, 6:21 PM

#

What are you looking at? Show me the whole screen please. Black out any sensitive data

#

Okay, Are you looking at the Checkout Session or the Payment Intent?

shy yew Aug 30, 2022, 6:24 PM

#

we believe its the payment intent

#

it has all the payment details

#

this appears to be the id for it

#

neat wasp Aug 30, 2022, 6:26 PM

#

Yes, thats a Payment Intent. All Payment Intent IDs start with pi_XXX

#

So, as our docs say, the metadata parameter is copied from the Payment Link to the Checkout Session to help tracking. But that is not automatically copied to the Payment Intent.

shy yew Aug 30, 2022, 6:28 PM

#

i see, is there a way to get it to copy in the payment intent?

neat wasp Aug 30, 2022, 6:29 PM

#

You can build that into your integration by listening for the checkout_session.completed webhook and copying the metadata from the Checkout Session to the Payment Intent.
