Hi there, from what I see in your limited code sample, you are attempting to set metadata on the payment method. As shown in my example code above, it should be on the root of the stripe.Checkout.SessionCreateParams object.

[halcyon heart]

i want to set metadata on the payment method

not on the checkoutsession

right now we set it on the checkout session
and on the checkout.session.completed event we copy it over to the payment method

you can also do
const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
.... setup_intent_data: {
metadata: {
"someFlag": "true" //
},

    },

and this metadata will end up in the setup intent created

but you cannot pass anything that will end up in the payment method

Hi, there is not a way to set the metadata on the PaymentMethod object when creating a CheckoutSession, https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-payment_method_data

[halcyon heart]

    const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
        customer: cust.id,
        success_url: "http://localhost:3012/success?session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}",
        cancel_url: "http://localhost:3012/cancel?session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}",
        payment_method_types: ['card'],
        mode: 'setup',
        setup_intent_data: {
            metadata: {
                "someFlag": "true" //works
            },

        },
        payment_method_data: {
            metadata: {

                    "someOtherFlag": "true" // does not work
            }
        },
        metadata: {
            "myFlag": "true" // works
        }
        
    })

You could need to get the payment method ID, and then update the object on a separate call.

[halcyon heart]

yes

this is what we currently do

and my question was "can this be enhanced in a future version"

[haughty inlet]

Yeah, I can share your feedback! Can you share what your specific use case is?

[halcyon heart]

we have different processes on the same stripe account.
and there is events on the payment_method itself
specifically the auto update
we want to distingish if the event (that is not testable currently by the stripe test api)
was on a payment method initiated / belonging to our process (so we need to treat it)
or from another process

=> having metadata on the payment method without needing to call update on it would be nice
as the only place we need to specifiy metadata would be checkout.session.create

it also would spare us some extra requests

for the patching

[haughty inlet]

I see, I will share this feedback with the team.

[halcyon heart]

thx
