Hi 👋

That doesn't make any sense.

#

A Product does not have quantity.

#

Its a logical representation of a good or service

#

It is only when a Customer purchases one or more instances of that Product that quantity becomes involved

# drifting flame A Product does not have quantity.

sorry, in the api request to create the checkout session, I'm doing this:

price_data: {
    currency: ticket.currency.toLowerCase(),
    product_data: {
        name: ticket.name,
        description: ticket.description || `${ticket.name} - ${combinedData.event_name} @ ${combinedData.name}`,
    },
    unit_amount: Math.round(ticket.price * 100),
},
#

I've looked in the API docs, and as far as I know, there is no way to change the "10 Qty" label to something like "10 tickets"

Okay you are still mashing together different concepts.

#

Wait, so you are trying to get the description to be something different?

#

What do you mean by "user-friendly"

#

You should just be passing line_items={price_data: {...}, quantity: 10}

#

Let me start from the top, I might have miscommunicated what is happening here.

#

For my app, I cannot store products in a database, so I have to pull their information from a database (they are event tickets).
When I create a Checkout Session, I set the following information and am then redirected to the URL:

price_data: {
    currency: ticket.currency.toLowerCase(),
    product_data: {
        name: ticket.name,
        description: ticket.description,
    },
    unit_amount: Math.round(ticket.price * 100),
},
quantity: data.tickets[ticket.id],
adjustable_quantity: {
    enabled: false
},

The problem (as far as I understand), is that this method does not allow me to create a unit_label the same way that creating a Product would. (example: {"unit_label" : data.tickets[ticket.id] > 1 ? "tickets" : "ticket"})
I want my users to see 10 Tickets instead of Qty 10

#

Ah, that I don't think you can do with product_data

topaz badger
#

oh, damn.

#

Thank you anyways!

drifting flame
#

I can raise a feature request to add that parameter but I cannot guarantee if/when it would get developed. At least we can track your interest in the feature though.

#

Is that something you would be interested in?
