I think I can achieve the same result with Stripe using a checkout session and passing the internal order id in the subscription_data.metadata field since that will be sent in every invoice.payment_succeeded webhook to match the successful payments that way.
Not sure if that field persists to Invoice objects. Probably worth testing.

Do you need to handle every recurring payment/event in your webhook or just the initial one?

'm interested in the upsell feature, if a customer decides to add a one-off purchase through upsell to their subscription checkout session, how do you recommend I find out what they have purchased from a webhook as there wouldn't be a row in our internal orders table for the upsold item
Depends on what events you're listening for and your Checkout parameters. The line_items field on the Checkout Session object contains all items from the payment.

For the upsell there'd be an additional line item on the initial Invoice too

I've tried this with a test clock and the subscription_data.metadata was included in every invoice.payment_succeeded that was sent for the recurring payments so I think that will be ok. Was just wondering if there's perhaps a better way to achieve this result.

We would need to handle every recurring payment as most of our payments (both recurring and one-off) are for credits in our website. For example they can buy 100 credits one-off or setup a recurring payment every 3,7,14,30, etc days. So whenever a payment webhook comes in we match up the

So the upsold product id would be visible as an extra line item in the invoice.payment_succeeded webhook?

[silver anvil]

You probably won't receive an invoice.payment_succeeded event for one-off payments

[silver anvil]

Yep

[frigid hazel]

Ok thanks will test that on my end

Thanks for the help, really like this format

In fact you definitely won't unless you're using invoice_creation for one-time invoicing: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout/post-payment-invoices

Also, we generally recommend invoice.paid as opposed to invoice.payment_succeeded – the latter doesn't account for scenarios where there is no payment (i.e. 100% discount etc)

[frigid hazel]

Thanks a lot, we'll swap over to invoice.paid

[silver anvil]

For one-time payments, you'll just want a checkout.session.completed event

You'll need to retrieve the line items using the cs_xxx ID separately though for the Product/Price data: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/line_items

[frigid hazel]

And internally I assume it's ok to keep a local mapping of Stripe Prices <-> internal products. Then for each price in a line item I would check the mapping and applying the relevant internal product to their account?

[silver anvil]

Yep, seems logical
