Hey there!

Hello 👋
You can update the description on the charge object that is created on the connected account. https://docs.stripe.com/connect/customize-express-dashboard#set-custom-descriptions
Though you will also need to reach out to our support team and ask for this to be enabled for your account. By default we ignore the description that you set 🤷
jovial sand
Hmm.
So it's normal for people to simply see "Payment from x" on the express dashboard?
Let me check real quick to make sure I understand what you're saying correctly
cosmic sundial
Yep, that is the default. Sorry I worded that confusingly. If you talk to our support, they can turn something on so that what you set as the description shows up on the dashboard instead of "Payment from x"
jovial sand
OK, this makes sense. (just scrambled through the docs)
Do I get it correctly that I should do this after the invoice/pi is paid/succeeded?
(eg in a invoice.paid event handler or something, as opposed to right after finalizing the invoice)
(doing it right after finalizing would be most convenient for me, but i suspect the transfer doesn't exist on the charge at that time, and these things can vary)
cosmic sundial
Good quesiton, I think it may have to be after the payment has succeeded but I will double check.
cosmic sundial
Hey, apologies for the delay there. Unfortunately it does not look like there is a way to set this description on the invoice such that the description is automatically populated on the payment that shows up on the connected account
So you will need to wait for the payment to succeed and set it then. I will put in a feature request for this but for now that is how this works
