client_reference_id is an attribute of Checkout sessions, but more generally no I don't think those columns can be further customized.

I'd suggest asking our support team for future Dashboard UI questions: https://support.stripe.com/contact

The "DESCRIPTION" is the same as the name. Is it possible to overwrite the value during the checkout progress? If yes, how? I cant find a "DESCRIPTION" value in the checkout session object -> https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/list

or: I can succefully save metadata, BUT can I search every of my customers at one? Like search for a specific metadata in my customers database

[broken sleet]

okay i just tested it. I can add metadata during checkout session and search for the data in my customer database

thank you

[finite blade]

Great, glad you were able to get what you needed working!

[broken sleet]

sorry for bothering you. but as you can see, I succefully added metadata during the checkout process to the user "Kundennummer":

but in my dashboard, the user has no metdata:

You're likely looking at the customer object

the metadata you've provided there would be on the cehckout session object

Those are just two different things, so its expected that there would be no metadata on the customer

[broken sleet]

Is there a way, to add metadata to the customer, during a checkout session?

[finite blade]

There is not, no. You could create/provide a customer ID though, where you set/update that metadata before creating the session

[broken sleet]

You mean the stripe customer ID, right?

But what happens if the user decides to cancel the checkout process. Then I have non-used dataset in my database, correct?

[finite blade]

Correct

Alternatively, you could have a webhook endpoint that updates the customer metadata based on the session metadata following a successful checkout session, if you wanted to do that
