Hi 👋
Can you share an API request ID where you create the transfer?
Here's how you can find a request ID: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

Yes, req_IUO6lRfNuq9tE1

So the Transfer object does have the Description property set based on your incoming parameter. But you want to see that on the destination_payment, correct?
outer falcon
That's correct. When we go live, the receiving account will be a charity and they would like some info on who is donating to them, which I could put in the description.

We do not propagate the description property of the Transfer to the resulting payment.
Are these donations linked with charges you are taking on your account?
outer falcon
Yes, but it's quite fiddly, with three accounts involved. We take entries for sporting events, keep a small fee and pass most onto various sports clubs using Connect. The new part is allowing an extra voluntary donation to a third party, a charity. I am trying to do this by upping the app fee, and then doing a manual transfer

I realize it is less than ideal but the charity users can also see the Transfer data from the Payment on their Stripe dashboad
I just tested this on my own
If I click on the Transfer I see the description and other metadata I added to the Transfer object
However, I think we should propagate at least the metadata from the Transfer to the Payment
outer falcon
OK, thanks. I'll have a go at adding metadata and see if that works. Thanks for your very prompt and detailed reply
vast ravine
Oh I'm sorry
We don't currently pass the metadata from the Transfer to the Payment ( I tested this on my end first )
But I am going to raise that internally to see if we can enable that feature
outer falcon
It's not a problem. We plan to log each donation in a database table on our side. Although if you are making a code change, I would suggest propagating descriptions too, as then there would be a nice clear listing visible to the recipient of any transfer in their account
