pi_3O8OCXAyaQeh2nqy2xBPkPik take a look at this payment intent
Basically we modify the metadata but the charge is created after we pay it with the old metadata
gusty terrace
Oh it's because you called confirm on creation
You need to update before confirming the payment intent
If you want the updated metadata reflected onto the charge
Because when you confirm, that submits the payment
Calling confirm is what triggers the metadata copy to the charge
soft gust
ahh ok, so with our current system, if we continued to confirm is there any way to access the charge to modify its metadata prior to someone paying and the payment intent succeeding?
cause currently I'm not sure how to retrieve that charge, as doing stripe.Charge.list(limit=1) to get the most recent charge only gets ones that have succeeded

The issue is you're confirming on payment intent creation, so no
Why not just create payment intent without confirming?
Then you can update your metadata and just call /confirm when you're ready
soft gust
hmm, with our current system I'm not sure how feasible that is so we'd probably have to change a lot, is it possible to unconfirm a payment intent to edit it then reconfirm it?
gusty terrace
No
Ok so I guess the best option for you if you don't want to delay confirmation is to just update the metadata on the charge manually
You can get the charge id from the payment intent on the latest_charge param
Then you can call https://stripe.com/docs/api/charges/update to update the metadata
soft gust
sadly we process a lot of information on our side from the charge succeeded metadata, and seeing as the charge only exists/can be found seemingly after its been paid for it wouldn't matter to modify it then
gusty terrace
Yeah if you need the updated metadata on charge.succeeded, then you should wait to confirm
We just do a 1-time copy of metadata on confirmation
Metadata isn't synced between payment intent and charge automatically
soft gust
ok thank you for your help!
gusty terrace
No problem
