Hello there

#

Can you tell me more about what you are trying to do here exactly?

#

You want this info to show up on the terminal reader? Or something else?

#

Hi! yes, we are opening a clinic and using a custom CRM, the idea is to create the bill for in person payments within the CRM and send the payment intent to the stripe terminal to just ask the client to swipe the card there without having to manually set the payment request data into the terminal

#

we also use stripe checkout sessions for our ecommerce and would like to differentiate payments when using the webhooks to sync payments into the crm database 🙂

#

Gotcha. You don't have to set any specific data to show on the reader screen if you don't want to.

#

That would also depend a little bit on which reader you use -- some don't have screens altogether

#

In terms of differentiating, you want to set metadata for this

#

Then you can ingest that metadata via your Webhook to know which flow the payment came from

#

ah ok so webhooks can show the metadata i added to the payment intent?

runic chasm Mar 21, 2023, 4:22 PM

#

Yep

#

They will contain the full PaymentIntent object, which will include any metadata you set

#

For Checkout you would set the metadata here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-payment_intent_data-metadata in order for it to be carried down to the PaymentIntent (as opposed to set on the Checkout Session object)

great!!! and regarding the first question about the terminal data, the question was if the payment request that the terminal will take when swiping the card can be send via an API to the terminal from an application without having to set it manually in the terminal screen

runic chasm Mar 21, 2023, 4:24 PM

#

Ah yes that is exactly how it works.

#

You can't initiate these payment requests from the Reader itself. You have to use one of our Terminal SDKs (or our Server-driven integration) within your own app to trigger the payment method collection/processing

#

Recommend taking a read through our docs here: https://stripe.com/docs/terminal
