Hi 👋

That just sounds like different price objects to me

#

Can you explain your use case a bit more thoroughly?

#

hi, I run a sports club and would like to allow parents to set up a membership using the subscription/recurring payments option, but I would need to associate each subscription with the name of the child

#

the options on your payments let me create a very convenient payments page, but there's no way to collect an arbitrary value short of fully coding an app for it against your API

#

which is a bit much for a 40-member sports club 😛

This forum is dedicated to coders and API integrations.

#

What is the payment page you using and how are you creating it?

#

is there a more appropriate place to ask this? I couldn't find one

https://support.stripe.com has multiple ways of raising feature requests but if you can tell me what you are using to create the subscription I may be able to offer a suggestion

the option to "create a payment link" from a Stripe product

zealous bear Oct 10, 2022, 4:31 PM

Ah, okay. Yes the payment link is the easiest to set up but, because of that, is the least configurable. The best option I could suggest would be to use the Dashboard to edit the Metadata on the newly created subscription. But since Payment Links are not specific to individual customers it can be difficult to know which subscription corresponds to which kid.

#

However, if your volume is low enough you could just look for the Subscription that was just created and update that one right away

#

yep I had looked at that... it might be viable to do that way, thank you. Was worth asking 🙂

#

could I code a site to handle doing this? maybe. Would I trust myself to code it securely? Not so much 😛

#

Well it can be done with minimal coding if you ever feel curious. Checkout Sessions would be a good alternative. That's the same payment page as used by Payment Links but each session is specific to a Customer.
