Hello! Can you clarify what you mean by "it doesn't get sent"?

Do you have an example request ID I can take a look at?

In this code

    switch (event.type) {
      case "payment_intent.succeeded":
        const paymentIntentSucceeded = event.data.object;
        console.log(paymentIntentSucceeded.metadata.userId);
        try {
          let userData = await User.findById(
            paymentIntentSucceeded.metadata.userId
          );
          userData.balance += Number(paymentIntentSucceeded.metadata.amount);
          userData.markModified("balance");
          await userData.save();
        } catch (err) {}
        break;
      default:
        console.log(`Unhandled event type ${event.type}`);
    }```

When the request is made via the CLI I can access the `paymentIntentSucceeded.metadata` object, but when using the code above the `metadata` object is empty

👍 let me take a look

Ah, that's the event for the Payment Intent - is your goal to set metadata on the checkout session that'll be automatically set on the Paymetn Intent?

i guess yeah

im still new to stripe 😅

in the docs there is written that I can attach a metadata object but the object becomes null when payment intent succeeded

[distant quiver]

If you want the metadata to be on the Paynment Intent you'll need to use payment_intent_data.metadata instead (https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-payment_intent_data-metadata)
