Hi 👋

We are focused on coding integrations here and not really experts on reporting or revenue reconciliation.

It can be easier to keep track of things when you use a Product > Price with Checkout. The major advantage in terms of coding integrations is, you can add information like product descriptions and features and that will be shown in the Checkout screen.

Can a product description be passed in via the API too?

barren lark
#

Sure, in the line_items[].product_data parameter. It's up to you.

#

But in the Stripe dashboard each Checkout Session will create it's own Product

#

But if you create the Product first and then add them to the Checkout Session, it won't add a bunch of duplicates to your Stripe account

thanks for the info. Does the same duplication of Stripe Products happen when using Stripe Connect Standard?

#

*when passing in the cost dynamically

barren lark
#

Sorry but those are orthogonal integrations. Do you mean, if you are creating Checkout Sessions on Standard Connect Acccounts using the Stripe Account header?

My solution will also make use of Stripe Connect Standard in a seperate process. The price for that will always be dynamic based on specific parameters so I wasn't going to use Products to manage the cost. Would this also result in "products" being added each time someone pays?

  1. In order to pass a dynamic price when creating a Checkout Session, you will also need to provide product data as well
  2. Each Checkout Session will create both Price and Product on each Standard Account .

OK thanks for the info, I will test and see what solution is the best fit. Thank you
