👋 happy to help

#

yes you can update the metadata of a checkout session after being completed

#

oh sorry my bad!

#

I was thinking of PaymentIntents there 😦 my bad

#

you can't update the Checkout Session's metadata but rather the underlying PaymentIntent's metadata

#

Hmm, okay

#

Need to think a little then

#

Thanks for your help

#

if you tell me what's your use case I might be able to help you figure out the best integration path for your use case

queen aspen Aug 9, 2023, 9:39 AM

#

oh sorry, didn't notice your message

#

well I want it to make so that when checkout session is completed, webhook generates a promotion code for their next purchase

red sigil Aug 9, 2023, 9:46 AM

#

and why do you need to update the Checkout Session metadata?

queen aspen Aug 9, 2023, 9:48 AM

#

I would like to know which promotion code was created from which checkout session

#

Each user would have their own specific code

red sigil Aug 9, 2023, 9:49 AM

#

you can do the opposite in this case, and add the checkout session ID as a metadata to the coupon

queen aspen Aug 9, 2023, 9:51 AM

#

That wont show up under Checkout details right?

#

Only when i go find checkout id under coupon codes right

#

I would like to have them all in one place

#

Im thinking of generating that code and then adding it as an extra to an order to Firebase database, I anyway have to update product amount after purchase

red sigil Aug 9, 2023, 9:52 AM

#

you can create the coupon when creating the checkout

#

and only making it available on the checkout.session.completed event

queen aspen Aug 9, 2023, 9:53 AM

#

red sigil you can create the coupon when creating the checkout

and on cancelation deleting that created coupon code?

queen aspen and on cancelation deleting that created coupon code?

you don't really care because it's inactive

queen aspen Aug 9, 2023, 9:55 AM

#

red sigil you don't really care because it's inactive

I guess, I just have OCD about having hundreds of useless inactive codes under my coupon 😄

#

But yes, your option works too

#

But perhaps i will still go with the firebase database since I have admin panel anyways

#

So order list would be a nice extra to that 🙂

red sigil Aug 9, 2023, 9:56 AM

#

it's really up to you to decide which approach to choose

queen aspen Aug 9, 2023, 9:59 AM

#

Yea, thank you still for helping
