Here is my react form component:

Can you explain a bit more about what you're trying to do?

[signal timber]

I want to pass variables like
email: [e-mail]
project: animesoul
within the form i linked above so I can see these variables in my stripe dashboard

ideally add them in a way I can generate a list based on these variables in the stripe dashboard

[karmic sun]

have you looked into using metadata on any of the Stripe objects you interact with? They're just arbitrary key/value pairs that you can use to store information on Stripe objects for later lookup.

Here's the Payment Intent metadata as an example: https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_intents/create#create_payment_intent-metadata

[signal timber]

so this is what youre suggesting

      amount: amount,
      currency: 'usd',
      metadata: {
        discordid: req.user.id,
        target: target,
        amount: amount,
        project: "Animesoul Premium"
      }
    });```

?

as inmetadata will accept any amount/type of variables and make it displayed on the stripe dashboard?

It can be retreivable in the Stripe Dashboard, but it doesn't have any material effect on the actual behavior of the Payment Intent. It's just there for you to reference either via the Dashboard or API
