I am working on processing a payment form that has additional form data on the same page.

I was advised I could attach this data to billing_details however I have "address data" that doesn't fit in your fields.

I need to capture this data while dealing with the forced redirect you guys have when running confirmPayment()

Hello 👋
Have you tried setting metadata under confirmParams already?

  elements,
  confirmParams: {
    metadata: {
      foo: bar
    },
    return_url: 'https://example.com',
  },
})```

Received unknown parameter: metadata

error from your system

I tried attaching to payment_method_data and got : A processing error occured

Attaching to billing_details = Received unknown parameter: payment_method_data[billing_details][metadata]

Hmm, I see. I guess the only option then would be to call the API to update PaymentIntent to include the metadata before OR after you call confirmPayment

Let me repeat what I said before please...when I started this issue

I have a form that has additional fields I need to capture data from. Currently I lose that data because you guys do a redirect with confirmPayment. I think my only option is to save all data via an ajax call then run confirmPayment. Can you please confirm this is the best approach?

I was told to send that additional data to you and then fetch it...but it seems like you can't accept it

That's correct. Let me ask a colleague to make sure there aren't any alternatives here that I don't know of.

thank you. Please let me know

Yup just confirmed, metadata is considered a sensitive field. When you call confirmPayment client-side, you're using your public API key.

Since metadata is considered a sensitive field, you can only update metadata with the Secret API key.

ok

thanks for your help, I appreciate it
