👋 Hello! Are you trying to set the metadata of the PaymentLink or the underlying Subscription that will be created?

[proud vigil]

since i want to redirect with a button

from my website to the stripe payment subscription

and logging with an endpoint the events

i wanted to add in the metadata before the redirect to stripe occurs the userId from my website that is trying to pay

[fresh igloo]

So there's no way to add metadata like that, but you can use client_reference_id for the same purpose

[proud vigil]

hmm how?

cause i checked the docs and i didn't find anything

[fresh igloo]

Yeah I'm not sure why it moved from the docs, but it should still work - try it out in test mode

[proud vigil]

i'm already in test mode

and currently i'm on the product page ( the one which requires subscription )

i tried adding the metadata field called userId and interact with it via the URL params but it didn't quite work

so how could i use the client_reference_id?

[fresh igloo]

If you have a URL like this : https://buy.stripe.com/test_sacacacacsasca?client_reference_id=1234 then you should see client_reference_id: 1234 set on the compelted Checkout Session (see https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/object#checkout_session_object-client_reference_id)
