Hello! Do you have a question about that?
coarse pumice
yeah one sec, let me add images
I've got 4 identical prices that represent sizes
but i have no clue which price was purchased 0.o
lament creek
I can see that's test mode, but I'm not sure if that's real info or not (like the address and stuff). This is a public server, so you may want to delete those images if so?
lament creek
Was this through Stripe Checkout?
lament creek
You can look at the Checkout Session's line items to see which specific Price was used.
coarse pumice
but how do i access that from the dashboard ?
lament creek
You can look at the request logs in Developer > Logs, but it's easier to retrieve the Checkout Session from the API and expand line_items: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/object#checkout_session_object-line_items
coarse pumice
That's fine, the problem is this is for a client,
she uses the dashboard to see her sales
when people checkout prices are added to the line items, but i get not information concerning the "particular" price that is added as a line item
it's only general infomration concerning the parent product
The only information that belongs to the price "itself" is the Unit amount, but can i not get any other information unique to the price ?
the nickname, or the price id even ?
lament creek
You can if you scroll down to the Events and logs section and find the original Checkout Session creation at the bottom. That will show the Price IDs used.
coarse pumice
ok let me look for that quickly, thanks for your help by the way
lament creek
No problem. Products in Stripe are designed to represent a thing people buy, and Prices are designed to represent what they pay for that thing. If you have different things (like two sizes of a thing) that should be two separate Products, not two Prices under a single Product.
coarse pumice
yeah i realise that now, i was under the impression that prices could be used for product variants
but i realise now that's not a good usage of prices
Ok, i see it in the events logs in the Checkout session completed event
can i add data to this custom fields attribute when the checkout session is created to make it more accessable once the purchase is completed LOL
lament creek
No, Checkout Sessions can't be modified after they're created like that, and those custom_fields are used to present actual fields on the Checkout page anyway.
lament creek
However, what you can do is set metadata on the Payment Intent: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/update#update_payment_intent-metadata
coarse pumice
do those custom fields show up on the invoice ????
lament creek
You could set a key like size to large for example, and that will show up in the Dashboard.
coarse pumice
and can i set them as read-only ?
lament creek
Metadata can be edited in the Dashboard, if that's what you mean?
Metadata is only visible to you, not the customer.
coarse pumice
yeah the meta data doesnt provide any value because i need to add the Price nickname as "Data" when i create the checkout session
because i just need to client to see WHICH prices were actually purchased
because those represent sizes
can i try custom field and you leave this thread open ?
lament creek
To clarify, you just want your client to be able to easily see what size was purchased in the Stripe Dashboard?
coarse pumice
Yeah exactly !
lament creek
Right, so use metadata.
coarse pumice
yeah ?
lament creek
Yes.
Set it on the Payment Intent when you receive the checkout.session.completed Event.
coarse pumice
it'l show up somewhere in th epayment details ?
lament creek
Yes.
coarse pumice
I'm not using webhooks i'm just create the session on the server and sending the Session id back to the client
then i use stripe front end to redirect to checkout
lament creek
If you're not using webhooks how are you handling fulfillment?
This is how it would show up in the Dashboard:
lament creek
That's with a key set to size and a value set to large.
lament creek
Since you're not using webhooks you can set the metadata on the Payment Intent when you create the Checkout Session here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-payment_intent_data-metadata
coarse pumice
ok was gonna say bc setting it on the checkout session doesnt work,
lament creek
Correct.
lament creek
Nah, I wish the Checkout Session metadata propigated to the Payment Intent.
I think it would make more intuitive sense if it did that. 😅
coarse pumice
lol
alright so payment_intent_data and then metadata im assuming
siiick
you're a lifesaver
let me try that real quick
lament creek
Yep.
coarse pumice
Solid, i'll abuse this little as a reflection of the cart basically
Thank you so much , 5 Star review for you brother
lament creek
Happy to help!
coarse pumice
Cheers!
