Also for context this is how I currently 'append' my line_items in the code:

for (let a = 0; a < Object.keys(productInformation.allOptions).length; a++) {
  const key = Object.keys(productInformation.allOptions)[a];
  const option = productInformation.allOptions[key];
  products.push({
    "price_data": {
      "currency": "EUR",
      "product_data": {
        "name": option.label,
        "metadata": {
          "id": key,
          "index": productInformation.selectedOptions[key]
        }
      },
      "unit_amount": option.price
    },
    "quantity": 1
  })
}

And I don't really want to append the checkout_session's metadata as this is going to be complicated as it allows only strin : string values

Hi 👋

Are you just receiving the Checkout Session object in the checkout.session.completed event?

peak dagger Apr 19, 2024, 5:17 PM

#

in this case yeah - I also receive other events like application_fee.created for other 'tasks' but only checkout.session.completed for fullfilling the order

strange badge Apr 19, 2024, 5:17 PM

#

Right because only yhe checkout session will have that info

peak dagger Apr 19, 2024, 5:17 PM

#

ok good

strange badge Apr 19, 2024, 5:17 PM

#

However, line_items are not returned expanded by default

#

You can tell this because our API reference doc has the word Expandable next to the property: https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/object#checkout_session_object-line_items

peak dagger Apr 19, 2024, 5:18 PM

#

I am already expanding line_items already. This is the code:

case 'checkout.session.completed':
  checkout = event.data.object;
  status = checkout.status;
  // console.log(checkout);
  console.log(`Checkout SESSION succeeded status is ${status}.`);
  let checkoutSession = await stripe.checkout.sessions.retrieve(
    checkout.id,
    {
      expand: ["customer",
        "payment_intent",
        "line_items",
        "line_items.data.price.product",
        "invoice"
      ],
    }
  );

  if (checkout.mode != "subscription") {
    fullfillOrder(checkoutSession);
  }
  break;

strange badge Apr 19, 2024, 5:18 PM

#

Okay so you are retrieving them too?

peak dagger Apr 19, 2024, 5:19 PM

#

yup

#

But there are no metadata keys anywhere

#

at least not filled

#

one sec

#

Okay I can see the metadata you are sending in this request: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_N758UUDEOrx9Wh

peak dagger Apr 19, 2024, 5:20 PM

#

exactly

peak dagger Apr 19, 2024, 5:21 PM

#

peak dagger ```javascript [ ... { id: 'li_1P7KgwKBPpELGMIUOxGSjp0A', object: 'it...

This is from the request before that but shows the same issue

#

The metadata object is just empty

strange badge Apr 19, 2024, 5:23 PM

#

And it looks like the metadata is set on the product_data

peak dagger Apr 19, 2024, 5:24 PM

#

yup

#

I also just checked - It seems you cannot set the metadata at a higher location f.ex. in the line_item itself. It is first allowed in the product_data...

strange badge Apr 19, 2024, 5:26 PM

#

Sorry I'm not sure what you mean by that. Are you saying that, even though we allow passing metadata on price_data and product_data, it is only returned when set on line_item?

peak dagger Apr 19, 2024, 5:28 PM

#

No I meant that the stripe api only allows the metadata to be specified in the product_data.

#

I just double-checked that again - not that I have defined the metadata at the wrong place

strange badge Apr 19, 2024, 5:28 PM

#

Ack

peak dagger Apr 19, 2024, 5:28 PM

#

sry for the confusion ^^

strange badge Apr 19, 2024, 5:33 PM

#

That's okay

#

I have reached out to my colleagues to further investigate this

peak dagger Apr 19, 2024, 5:34 PM

#

ok

#

Do I just wait here?

strange badge Apr 19, 2024, 5:34 PM

#

Yeah, I should have some idea of what is going on in a few minutes

peak dagger Apr 19, 2024, 5:34 PM

#

👍

strange badge Apr 19, 2024, 5:37 PM

#

Okay I am seeing metadata on two of the three products in this checkout session

peak dagger Apr 19, 2024, 5:37 PM

#

Yeah that is correct

strange badge Apr 19, 2024, 5:37 PM

#

For pr_1P7KkKKBPpELGMIUIDog5hEx and pr_1P7Kd5KBPpELGMIUxOLyrudp

#

And when you attempt to retrieve them you do not see this?

peak dagger Apr 19, 2024, 5:38 PM

#

exactly

strange badge Apr 19, 2024, 5:38 PM

#

Do you get the full Product object returned or just an ID?

peak dagger Apr 19, 2024, 5:38 PM

#

At least they are not in the line_items array of the expanded checkout session object

#

the full object

peak dagger Apr 19, 2024, 5:39 PM

#

peak dagger ```javascript [ ... { id: 'li_1P7KgwKBPpELGMIUOxGSjp0A', object: 'it...

this f.ex.

strange badge Apr 19, 2024, 5:39 PM

#

Can you expand the product property there?

peak dagger Apr 19, 2024, 5:40 PM

#

I have this for retrieving the session:

expand: ["customer",
  "payment_intent",
  "line_items",
  "line_items.data.price.product",
  "invoice"
],

#

Do I need to add smth?

strange badge Apr 19, 2024, 5:41 PM

#

No I meant in what you are sharing here

#

In the output it shows
product: [Object]

peak dagger Apr 19, 2024, 5:41 PM

#

Ah yeah I tried at it was undefined...

#

But maybe I did smth wrong

#

I will do another test buy and print out the 3rd line_item

#

one sec

strange badge Apr 19, 2024, 5:42 PM

#

Thanks!

peak dagger Apr 19, 2024, 5:45 PM

#

🤦‍♂️

#

yup

#

it is all there

#

wow how did I oversee that... god damn

There's a lot of nested stuff in those requests!

peak dagger Apr 19, 2024, 5:46 PM

#

Yeah that is true

strange badge Apr 19, 2024, 5:46 PM

#

Unless you write very specific logging to traverse all those layers, it could be easy to miss.

peak dagger Apr 19, 2024, 5:46 PM

#

Do you know if there is a way to show more nested items in the VSCode console?

peak dagger Apr 19, 2024, 5:47 PM

#

strange badge Unless you write very specific logging to traverse all those layers, it could be...

Ok so there seems to be no easier way hahaha

#

ok but thanks for your time 🙂

#

And the help pointing me in the right direction

strange badge Apr 19, 2024, 5:51 PM

#

Sure thing! Sometimes you just need to bounce ideas off someone to find what you missed.
