👋 Welcome to your new thread!

⏲️ We'll be here soon! Typically we respond in a few minutes, but sometimes we might take a bit longer if the server is busy or if you have a particularly tricky question.

⏱️ We close idle threads, which makes them read-only. Once a thread is closed it won't be reopened, but you can always start a new thread if you have another question.

🔗 This thread will always be available, even after it's closed. You can find it again using Discord's search, or you can save this link: https://discord.com/channels/841573134531821608/1325870446159069245

Hi 👋

Can you share the ID of a checkout session where you have set metadata? It will look like cs_test_XXXXX or cs_live_XXXX (depending on whether it's in Test mode or Live mode).

Can you also share what API you are using to retrieve the info?

An example Session ID is cs_test_a17s5KgAft0U3ZKgeYwMMUjrrYJHlwaWNQxUBEohRlLl9iXQAORINsQOBX

#

I'm using the sessions API

Thanks, taking a look at the Checkout Session

#

There is no metadata associated with this Checkout Session

#

Ah, okay. Looking at the creation request: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_Zyznne8ZMhdOQ1

#

You set the metadata in the payment_intent_data.metadata so the metadata provided only exists on the related Payment Intent

#

#

You can use the Payment Intent API to retrieve this information

#

Should I be storing it with the checkout session? Is that possible?

dusk panther Jan 6, 2025, 5:12 PM

#

If that is where you want to access the metadata, then you would store it there.

#

It's up to you. Most of our users want to access the metadata when they receive the payment_intent.succeeded webhook so we recommend they set it on the Payment Intent like you did.

#

ok

dusk panther Jan 6, 2025, 5:13 PM

#

But, if you want to get the metadata from the Checkout Session, then you can set directly on the Checkout Session: https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-metadata

#

You could even do both

#

It just depends on what would make the most sense for your integration

white wraith Jan 6, 2025, 5:16 PM

#

thanks. I'll refactor this and see if that does it

Great, happy to shed what 💡 I can 🙂
