Hi there, you can add remarks to metadata https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-metadata
winter flume
oh nice
i wonder if metadata can store images too? cuz our admins may also upload things like receipts
e.g. pdf receipts
or am i only going to be able to reference the images via urls
void ravine
No, you can't attach an image to metadata directly, but yes you can attach image urls.
winter flume
does stripe provide any sort of generic image storage or should i consider other solutions like s3
image/pdf
only reason we were considering this point is because stripe is secure when it comes to financial data
void ravine
There's a file upload API that you can consider to use https://stripe.com/docs/file-upload
winter flume
in purpose there doesnt seem to be anything regarding e.g. bank transfer proof
cuz we want to mark invoice as paid out of band
and also attach the relevant bank transfer pdf
void ravine
Yes are right, the file API is designed for certain purposes, and the proof for paid out of band invoice is not one of them.
winter flume
ok got it, then using it for that purpose wouldn't be the idiomatic way to go about things
why do docs say not to put any confidential info in invoice metadata
"Don't store any sensitive information (bank account numbers, card details, and so on) in metadata or in the description parameter."
i dont think metadata field is exposed to actual. users
only stripe dashboard users can see that
void ravine
Yes you are right. I guess the concern here is that the Dashboard (or API response) can be accessed by many people within your org so there's a risk that sensitive info may leak out if many people can see the invoice's metadata.
