Hi, let me help you with this.

If you're using Stripe Checkout it's recommended to create Products and Prices on your Stripe account.
If you're just using Payment Element, you just specify the total amount.

Alternatively, you can use Checkout with price_data which will create Prices with a specified unit amount on the fly: https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items-price_data-unit_amount

I think this is more what I'm looking for... I just want to pass the amount and some other tracking metadata to Stripe without creating products in the stripe backend.

(e.g. like the product info)

"custom_fields": [], "custom_text": { Yep. That should work

Thank you. I was just a bit confused as to whether I had to create the products in the backend or not 😅 Brain fart moment.
