Hi there

No need for metadata here. You just use Webhooks and look at the subscription.items to know which Product was purchased

[solar raft]

so you check based on the product_id ?

[coral sand]

Yep

[solar raft]

I understand this method, however we need to "hardcode" the product ID in our webhook listener which makes switching between prod environnement end dev environnement not great. Moreover if we need to create a new product we have to redeploy a listener function with the new product id in the listener

I was wondering if there were better practices but ok we will follow your advice

[coral sand]

You don't need to hardcode the Product at all

In you webhook handler you would just retrieve the Product based on the ID

[solar raft]

ha ok

so one request more and then read the metadata?

[coral sand]

Then sure if you want to use metadata you can to set your own key/value on the Product

But also you could just rely on things like name or something else associated with the Product

[coral sand]

Yep pretty much

Up to you if you actually want to use metadata or not

[solar raft]

what is the alternative?

product name?

[coral sand]

Really though what I'd recommend is not doing this and instead storing the correct data in your database that corresponds to the Product based on ID

But if you don't want to do that for your dev environment then you can retrieve as discussed above

[solar raft]

ok so an Array of productId corresponding to BasicProducts

[coral sand]

Yeah that's what I'd do

Then you don't perform a bunch of extra GET requests

[solar raft]

Got it

[coral sand]

And you just check against your database whenever a new Sub is created

[solar raft]

Thank you

[coral sand]

Sure thing
