@fast cipher do you have a concrete example Event id that is less than 24 hours old that I can look at? If not can you first reproduce this?

#

Okay I was testing in parallel I don't think the advice my colleague gave you works at all in this case. Are you using a Subscription in this flow @fast cipher ?

fast cipher Nov 7, 2023, 5:08 PM

#

Hi @vocal jolt I got an example for you: evt_1O9skm4MjUVeuXeN8YhI9MRC

#

yes I am. It's a subscription checkout flow

vocal jolt Nov 7, 2023, 5:09 PM

#

Okay then set metadata on the Subscription so that you can read it off of subscription_details on the Invoice

#

you even seem to be doing that already!

#

hmm I seem to have a workbench issue now..

#

I can't scroll the "event data"

#

It just scrolls the main Stripe dashboard page. The content of event data stays fixed

#

likely a Workbench bug. This is a secret feature you're a part of so you should be careful discussing this publicly. I think you have some insider program where you can report those bugs to the team

#

but you're a developer so you can look up the Event in the API or on the Event page and such right?

fast cipher Nov 7, 2023, 5:28 PM

#

I removed the screenshot. Good note 👍

#

ah the event section allows me to scroll thanks

#

yeah I think I'm in a github repo somewhere. I'll look it up later

vocal jolt Nov 7, 2023, 5:30 PM

#

yeah sorry I know it's a pain to have to split your feedback like that 😦

#

I'll see if I can repro on my own and push on the product team but I don't use Workbench yet

#

using safari here btw

#

don't worry about it

vocal jolt Nov 7, 2023, 5:32 PM

#

ah that might be a browser bug. I'm a Firefox user and I filed a few bugs for Stripe Shell recently too 😅

fast cipher Nov 7, 2023, 5:34 PM

#

the worst lol

#

Okay then set metadata on the Subscription so that you can read it off of subscription_details on the Invoice
So there's nothing native in the invoice.payment_action_required event to know it's coming from a Stripe Checkout session?

vocal jolt Nov 7, 2023, 5:37 PM

#

Correct there is not. We have dozens of objects that chain to each other through others. If we made information available about every possible parent you'd have dozens of properties making the API unreadable

fast cipher Nov 7, 2023, 5:39 PM

#

right, makes sense

#

Metadata seems the best way around it then indeed

vocal jolt Nov 7, 2023, 5:39 PM

#

We've debated for a while to have some kind of "origin" hash that would have a list of parent object(s)

#

but for example what if you use PaymentLinks? Do you use that plink_123? The Checkout Session cs_test_123? Both? It is quite messy to design right 😦

#

We've done it on one API (on InvoiceItem) and it hasn't scaled well

fast cipher Nov 7, 2023, 5:47 PM

#

I must say I haven't dug into paymentlinks a lot yet
