Hi 👋
How are you creating the Payment Link?
You can attach metadata directly to the Payment Link using the metadata parameter. However, if you are listening to the payment_intent.succeeded webhook event it might make more sense to set the metadata on the related Payment Intent.
In that case you can use the payment_intent_data.metadata parameter
quiet hearth
which event should i listen to to get the metadata?
vast horizon
That depends on where you put the metadata.
And that depends on what information you need in your integration. So, is it important for you to track when the payment intent succeeds?
quiet hearth
yes, because this is where i can see the stripe account id, and the payment amount.
when a payment link is created, which webhook event is this?
quiet hearth
how do i create a payment intent with a link?
vast horizon
Sorry but these questions don't make a lot of sense.
Payment Links automatically create Payment Intents when the customer completes their checkout process
How are you creating Payment Links?
quiet hearth
//Create price object for payment link
long stripeAmount = StripeAmountFormat(paymentLinkRequest.Amount);
Price price = await CreateProductPrice(accountDetails.AccountID, accountDetails.ProductID, stripeAmount);
//Get Payment Link from Stripe
var options = new PaymentLinkCreateOptions()
{
LineItems = new List<PaymentLinkLineItemOptions>()
{
new PaymentLinkLineItemOptions()
{
Price = price.Id,
Quantity = 1
}
},
Metadata = new Dictionary<string, string>()
{
{ "PatientId", paymentLinkRequest.PatientID.HasValue ? paymentLinkRequest.PatientID.Value.ToString() : "" },
{ "ProviderId", paymentLinkRequest.ProviderID.HasValue ? paymentLinkRequest.ProviderID.Value.ToString() : "" }
}
};
RequestOptions requestOptions = new RequestOptions();
requestOptions.StripeAccount = accountDetails.AccountID;
PaymentLinkService service = new PaymentLinkService();
PaymentLink result = await service.CreateAsync(options, requestOptions);
not seeing metadata in the webhook events
vast horizon
What webhook events? Do you have an event ID I could look at?
That metadata is created on the Payment Link, so it will only ever show up on the Payment Link object.
quiet hearth
how do i put metadata on payment intent, considering that there is no payment intent when the link is created?
vast horizon
You use the parameter I mentioned earlier.
payment_intent_data.metadata
This will add that metadata to the Payment Intent when it gets created
Set of key-value pairs that will declaratively set metadata on Payment Intents generated from this payment link.
The description of this parameter from our docs
quiet hearth
that worked!
vast horizon
Awesome 🎉
