Hi there

hi

[muted ginkgo]

description that appears on a transaction
Appears where exactly?

[stoic smelt]

so if you go to the stripe dashboard and select "transactions" from the left-hand menu - the description that appears against each transaction there (which I beleive is a list of payment intents)

this data gets sent to Xero for our accounting, so we are looking for a way to distinguish these transactions

screenshot of where I am looking, just avoided the actual data so i dont post anything sensitive

is this just something we have to do after we raise the invoice?

[stoic smelt]

e.g. raise the invoice, then update the payment intent?

which i guess would have to be after payment is taken

[gentle fulcrum]

taking a look, gimme a while

[stoic smelt]

thanks

[gentle fulcrum]

so the description on that page is synced to the PaymentIntent. A non-zero Invoice which a customer has made payment for, would have a PaymentIntent associated with it : https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-payment_intent. You would want to update the description on the corresponding PaymentIntent : https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_intents/object#payment_intent_object-description

[stoic smelt]

ah okay, so once payment is taken, handle that and then update the payment intent essentially

[gentle fulcrum]

yep! try it out and let us know if you're still running into issues
