hello! when you create the Checkout Session, you can actually create metadata on the Subscription too - https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-subscription_data-metadata

Stripe API reference – Create a Checkout Session – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

#

the events to look at for when a trial expires / subscription is cancelled is mentioned here : https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/webhooks#state-changes

       let session = try stripe.sessions.create(
            cancelUrl: "http://localhost:4200/dashboard",
            paymentMethodTypes: [.card],
            successUrl: "http://localhost:4200/dashboard",
            allowPromotionCodes: nil,
            billingAddressCollection: .auto,
            customerEmail: user.email,
            lineItems: [[
                "price": price,
                "quantity": 1,
            ]],
            metadata: [
                "user_id": body.uid,
                "type": body.type.rawValue
            ],
            mode: .subscription).wait()

This creates metadata on the Checkout object, however I'd like to create metadata on the associated Subscription object. How would I do this?

#

you can pass in metadata for the subscription in this parameter when creating the checkout session - https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-subscription_data-metadata

let session = try stripe.sessions.create(
            cancelUrl: "http://localhost:4200/dashboard",
            paymentMethodTypes: [.card],
            successUrl: "http://localhost:4200/dashboard",
            allowPromotionCodes: nil,
            billingAddressCollection: .auto,
            customerEmail: user.email,
            lineItems: [[
                "price": price,
                "quantity": 1,
            ]],
            mode: .subscription,
            subscriptionData: [
                "meta_data": [
                    "user_id": body.uid,
                    "type": body.type.rawValue
                ]
            ]).wait()

#

this throws an error

#

subscriptionData: [
                "meta_data": [
                    "user_id": body.uid,
                    "type": body.type.rawValue
                ]
            ]
``` is the faulty param

#

how should i structure this?

vast ivy Nov 28, 2022, 2:28 AM

#

what's the error?

minor jewel Nov 28, 2022, 2:28 AM

#

[ WARNING ] StripeKit.StripeError [request-id: FE87D409-52EA-4350-A808-5998DA5E7256]

#

Not descriptive :/

#

are you using a third party library (instead of the official Stripe SDKs)?

minor jewel Nov 28, 2022, 2:29 AM

#

correct

#

    if let subscriptionData = subscriptionData {
            subscriptionData.forEach { body["subscription_data[\($0)]"] = $1 }
        }```

#

here is where they set the value for this param

vast ivy Nov 28, 2022, 2:30 AM

#

unfortunately, I can't help you if you're using a third party library. We don't have any insight / knowledge on how those libraries work so you'll need to reach out to them instead for guidance.
