Hello. What's your question?
rough zenith
Hi there. I posed the earlier question:
compact root
Please don't paste live checkout session links
rough zenith
Understoood
The challenge i have is the payment link is that we have two custom fields
and when talking to the Stripe Rep earlier, we were told the email a customer would receive as a receipt would contain the two custom fields, as well as the ability to cc that email to our filfilment partner
is there documentation on how to accomplish this task
compact root
Hm I don't know offhand if custom fields on a checkout session get copied to the receipt
Do you want the checkout session to create an invoice and have that sent to the customer?
rough zenith
customer AND our fulfilment partner
the fulfilment partner needs the custom fields to identify the customer against their roster
compact root
Right but my question is do you want an invoice too rather than just a receipt?
rough zenith
receipt would be acceptable
At this point I will settle for either if it solves my fulfilment challegen (ie being able to cc to a different email than the customer, and the inclusion of the custom fields)
compact root
Got it. I'll need to run some tests
rough zenith
Thank you
compact root
Will be a little bit since I'm assisting other users as well
Also are you using payment links or explicitly creating checkout sessions?
rough zenith
Sorry, i am not sure if i understand the distinction between the two
As per instructions by Stripe, we have setup a Stripe Checkout page
compact root
Payment links are universal links: https://stripe.com/en-gb-us/payments/payment-links
You send the same link to multiple customers
So you explicitly create sesions via the api?
rough zenith
Oh no... we are directly sending them a Stripe hosted Checkout page, so yes, sessions
compact root
Got it thanks
rough zenith
Thank you, look forward to the update

Looking into the custom fields portion of your question now, but additional recipients can't be set via the api. This will need to be done via the dashboard, but it is possible. See: https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/send-email#additional-email-recipients
rough zenith
Can it be automated? Because it was the primary selling point by Stripe for us to build and invest in the platform

I know this work was recently in-progress to be done via the api. Let me see if I can find more info
@obtuse pasture is going to take over as I have to head out
rough zenith
Hi @obtuse pasture what do you mean tested it out?
we have implemented/added the custome fields to our stripe checkout page
obtuse pasture
Okay and using Test mode keys have you generated an Invoice and verified whether or not the Custom fields are present in the generated Invoice?
rough zenith
i can ask the team to do it

And with respect to the Customer emails. Both myself and @compact root have been looking into this. This feature, shown here: https://site-admin.stripe.com/docs/api/customers/create#create_customer-additional_emails, should have GA'd last month but our docs still call it out as a "Preview feature".
Specifically you set the additional_emails.cc property to CC other email addresses in correspondence to that Customer object
