Hello
How can we add metadata to subscription. and when the next period comes and the user paid. we still can have the same metadata there?
in the event listener
random fjord
Hi! You can either add the metadata when you create a subscription (https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-metadata) or you can update the subscription (https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-metadata).
If you don't change the metadata, it will remain.

the metadata will not appear in the paymentIntent?
if i want to generate invoice(my internal invoice not stripe) when the customer successfully charge we dont use paymentIntent_succeeded event listener?
random fjord

Are you referring to the payment intent created when an Invoice is created for a Subscription?
if i want to generate invoice(my internal invoice not stripe) when the customer successfully charge we dont use paymentIntent_succeeded event listener?
By internal invoice, are you still referring to the Stripe Invoice product?
hallow hedge
actually i havent develop it.
but i want to know the best practice is i want to create an invoice outside stripe everytime customer charged.
what event i should listen?
random fjord
Is the customer paying for a standalone payment or for a Subscription?
hallow hedge
let say subscription for noiw
random fjord
If it's a standalone payment you cna listen to payment_intent.succeeded.
If it's for a subscription you can listen to payment_intent.succeeded , invoice.paid and invoice.payment_succeeded.
hallow hedge
what is the different between invoice.paid and invoice.payment_succeeded?
i think i will not use payment_intent.succeeded for subscription. because i dont see the subs metadata there
random fjord
The difference is that invoice.payment_succeeded events are sent for successful invoice payments, but aren’t sent when you mark an invoice as paid_out_of_band. invoice.paid events, on the other hand, are triggered for both successful payments and out of band payments.
hallow hedge
okayy thanks
hallow hedge
is that possible that i create external invoice first before customer got charged?
random fjord
