So metadata isn't copied in all scenarios
We only copy metadata from PI -> Charge once when the PI is confirmed
If you share the PI ID, I can see what happened here

hello
pi_3MYZ37IEG6XkSwCO05WyQNTh
there is an example. the metadata actually originates from the checkout seession so i can see it in that example
I was hoping I could pull back a list of charges and at the same time pull in any of my custom metadata that existed from 1 call like so:
$charges = $stripe->charges->all(
[
'limit' => 5,
'created' => [
'gte' => $start_of_month,
'lte' => $end_of_month
],
// 'expand' => ['data.metadata'],
]);
So i'm guessing it looks like the metadata is only sitting on the Session and not coming across to the charge or pi

Yeah to set the metadata on the PI you need to set it here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-payment_intent_data-metadata

so it does exist on the session
but its how i pull it from a charge or the "charges" call without having to make too many other calls
oo thinking about it actually just getting the charge "items" names should solve my current problem
is it possible to pull back all item names with the charges() request?
calm rover
Sorry. I wasn't clear. There's multiple places to set metadata. If you set it on the session here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-metadata metadata will only exist on the sessino
If you set it at that first link I sent, it will only be set on the PaymentIntent
fathom pendant
ignore me!
if its only set on the session then i guess theres no way to pull it into the charges() call easily
so I'll have to look it up each time?
calm rover
Yeah
I recommend setting it on the payment intent: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-payment_intent_data-metadata so you can pull it easily
fathom pendant
I think I'll have to do that going forwards but just for now I'll need a report for existing entries - is there a way to pull the checkout session ID so I can loop over it from a single charge?
calm rover
You can use this endpoint: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/list

thanks
calm rover
Will need PaymentIntent id though
