Can you share the error that you're facing when using metadata?
ivory bronze
It works when it's outside line items
now I'll map, wait a second and show u error
"Invalid value type: {:item=>{:name=>"Amira", :_createdAt=>"2022-08-29T13:29:25Z", :quantity=>"1", :_type=>"product", :_updatedAt=>"2022-08-29T13:36:44Z", :image=>{:"0"=>{:_type=>"image", :_key=>"60cb05945adb", :asset=>{:_type=>"reference", :_ref=>"image-22ce77c63db11e3e482e73bd086f5d744d3c69d2-1500x2250-jpg"}}}, :price=>"672", :_rev=>"jmTP3LYrZrN0wRtRCwXwwl", :dress=>{:height=>"123", :waistToEnd=>"123", :shoulderToEnd=>"0", :bustSize=>"123", :shoulderToWaist=>"123", :sleeveLength=>"123", :waistVolume=>"123", :dressLength=>"123"}, :details=>"fdsfsdf", :_id=>"11bc0914-e593-411e-8305-8ffa0033d4c1", :slug=>{:_type=>"slug", :current=>"amira"}}} must be a string"
I'm trying to map my object
with my metadata
paper oracle
Thanks for sharing
paper oracle
It looks like you're passing metadata value an object
paper oracle
Metadata value accepts string, not object
You should convert it into into string from object before setting into metadata
paper oracle
You can convert it into json string
Why do you want to store dress object with Stripe?
The metadata value has 500 characters limit: https://stripe.com/docs/api/metadata
ivory bronze
I need those parameters
paper oracle
It can potentially be trimmed off if the final string is more than 500 characters

it's not
so how can I convert it in JSON ?
I've made it
but why I don't see any info here?
paper oracle
The page you are in is Payment Intent metadata, not Checkout Session metadata
To set Payment Intent metadata, you should also set metadata in payment_intent_data.metadata: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-payment_intent_data-metadata
You can refer to the doc here: https://support.stripe.com/questions/using-metadata-with-checkout-sessions

I was reading it, but I dont get why your api dont let to pass an object, it would be much easier
Is there a better solution to make it more beatiful?
paper oracle
it can't be object because other languages like Java and C# require typing
ivory bronze
it can't be object because other languages like Java and C# require typing
on the backend?
paper oracle
yup. the object type is defined by user's server and stripe doesn't know, so we can't store as an object, but the universal string that accepts by different languages
the intention of metadata is also not to store to object
but the reference to the object such as order ID
paper oracle
Is there a better solution to make it more beatiful?
nope
ivory bronze
so if I want to make it more beautiful I need to make my own server and req my metadata and JSON it. Right?
Two last questions. What happen if metadata exceeds 500 char limit?
If I get 501, 502 etc error from stripe API it will cause my app to crash? Do I need to add more?
paper oracle
What happen if metadata exceeds 500 char limit?
Stripe will return 400 error
If I get 501, 502 etc error from stripe API it will cause my app to crash? Do I need to add more?
From the code, this seems to fine, but it'll depend how your frontend handles 500 error from your server

its next js server
Ok. Thank you so much for your help.
paper oracle
No problem! Happy to help
ivory bronze
And last one. Do I need to enter a color of a dress in a metadata?
paper oracle
That's up to you since metadata is for your own reference and Stripe doesn't use information from metadata
ivory bronze
I think I cannot make color visible in a checkout page?
paper oracle
What are you trying to achieve? Metadata is for your reference and not visible to checkout page
ivory bronze
I'm not talking about metadata. I'm asking about a color selected by user in a stripe checkout page
paper oracle
I don't understand question. Do you mean you want to display the dress color in text somewhere in the checkout page?
ivory bronze
I don't understand question. Do you mean you want to display the dress color in ...
y
Is this possible?
paper oracle
One possible way I think of is to add the color in the product description, line_items.price_data.product_data.description: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items-price_data-product_data-description
