Hello 👋
Taking a look

Ah its a card_present transaction

I wonder if we don't allow updating the metadata after the PaymentIntent has succeeded

[blazing igloo]

That was actually my thought as well but thought I'd ask someone more in the know.

[brazen plover]

Yeah I believe that's what's happening here
I tried with a sample online PaymentIntent and it worked fine

[blazing igloo]

Yes, we do both card present and not. Is there some reason it makes sense to not be able to update meta data? It is what it is but it doesn't really make sense to me.

Hmm I'm not sure of the exact reason behind it unfortunately, I might need to discuss with our product team about why that is.
My understanding is card present transactions are treated differently and have diff exemptions applied to it compared to online transactions.

Customer being present in this case counts as "authentication". Updating the PaymentIntent later on might affect something there.
But I definitely agree that this is not super clear in our docs.

Also the error message is not accurate. I can flag this internally

Ok thank you. I guess for now we'll just work around. I appreciate the info.
