Hi there

Metadata does not transfer down to a Charge from a Product.

What integration flow are you using exactly?

You likely want to be setting this metadata on a different object.

I need to be able to link a payment to product on Zapier but nothing we do, including webhooks is showing any product info on any of the purchases

Can you provide me one of your PaymentIntent IDs that I can look at?

[queen quarry]

Sure! pi_3NiJfwDHMTtOzdpq0sfWwv1R

Ah okay you use a Payment Link. So what you want to do is you want to set metadata on the Payment Link: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_links/payment_links/create#create_payment_link-metadata. That will then copy the metadata down to the Checkout Session and you can receive it in the checkout_session.completed event

Hmm I just tried that I added this metadata and then did a test payment pi_3NiK8QDHMTtOzdpq0WBGy6M7 and the metadata is on Stripe payment but nothing in Zapier 😭

Ah well I'm not familiar with how Zapier pulls this metadata

So that is something you will need to reach out to Zapier about

Ok another option is Statement Descriptor because that always get pulled through to Zapier, but I have updated that on the product but on the payment it still shows as the old one still

Or is there a better to collect payment than a payment link?

That depends on what you are trying to do.

It is very possible that Zapier depends on the metadata being on the PaymentIntent itself

When you create Checkout Sessions directly (not using a Payment Link) you can set payment_intent_data.metadata to have the metadata passed down.

If you are using Payment Links then you will want to update the PaymentIntent yourself based on the metadata that is passed through via the Checkout Session
