You may add the description to the product, so that the size information can be shown in the checkout page: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items-price_data-product_data-description

For internal size referencing, this can be sent through metadata field of checkout session: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-metadata

so If I were using node.js the metadata key2pair would be like `sizes`: {selectedSize}?

[serene bobcat]

It'll be:

metadata: {
  'size': 'M'
},

[crimson sable]

but I dont want it to be static sizes, I want it to be like if someone chose that size, it shows in the metadata as that size they chose, because there would be more than one size.

[serene bobcat]

Yup! You can set it as the input parameter for the value. The above code is just an example code of how the hard-coded metadata will be like. Dynamic variable can be used

[crimson sable]

ok thank you!

[serene bobcat]

No problem! Happy to help 😄

[crimson sable]

quick question, really sorry to interrupt but I would put in the dynamic variable like {selectedsize} right? not like `{selectedsize}`

[serene bobcat]

In node, it should just be the variable name without including any bracket.

For example,

metadata: {
  'size': selectedsize
},

[crimson sable]

thank you, but I think im doing something wrong, could I show you a two pieces of my code? I am really stuck.

[serene bobcat]

Sure!

[crimson sable]

ok, I am using a library for a hook to stripe called "use-shopping-cart" thats why it might look a little different. neverless, this is my product.js ``` const addToCart = () => {
const item = {
...product,
'size': selectedSize,
};

const metadata = {
  'size': selectedSize, // Use the selected size as dynamic metadata
};

addItem(item, { count: quantity, product_metadata: metadata });
setQuantity(1);

};and this is my other page containing what it sends the cart and holds it there: addItem: (
product: Product,
options?: {
count: number
price_metadata?: { [propName: string]: any }
product_metadata?: { [propName: string]: any }
}
) => undefinedthen it will send it to stripe with this (still on the page that is not the product.js): /**

• @returns Nothing or an error wrapped in a promise if an error occurred
  */
  redirectToCheckout: (sessionId?: string) => Promise<any>```

[serene bobcat]

What is the issue or error you're facing?

I don't see any code related to Checkout Session creation here

[crimson sable]

I dont see one either in my code, so idk how it is working

its a different library tho so ima ask them instead, thanks for trying tho

[serene bobcat]

Do you use third-party or direct Stripe integration?
