Do I need to create a custom Payment Link page to persist the utms ?
I am not sure how (from the docs) to get the UTM's to persist ?

#

hi! are you currently using payment links? you can also create a checkout session in your backend and use the metadata parameter to store whatever you want, including codes like
https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-metadata

#

if you're using payment links i would need to run a quick test to see how it works as i'm a little less experienced with those

zenith ether Mar 25, 2025, 6:25 PM

#

yeah, I don't think we are using the payment link.

#

So add the utm's to the metadata ?

#

how then are the utms going to be captured by posthog's analytics?

#

i don't know posthog so i can't speak to how that side of things works, but do you know if they accept webhooks?

#

most of the time you would listen for the checkout.session.completed event which would contain the checkout session object, including the metadata
https://docs.stripe.com/api/events/types#event_types-checkout.session.completed

#

we do not use webhooks with posthog, hmmmm...

white osprey Mar 25, 2025, 6:32 PM

#

yeah, webhooks are definitely the recommended method - see our guide on this
