Hi there
Is this metadata that you are going to set or you are trying to collect from the customer?
You can set metadata via payment_intent_data.metadata: https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment-link/create?api-version=2025-01-27.acacia#create_payment_link-payment_intent_data-metadata but this metadata would be per-payment-link not per-customer that uses the Payment Link.

I am looking to collect a uuid that we are using as our trusted customer value
Too many people have been checking out as guests, or using a different email, and it is making payment tracking a headache.
it sounds like, based on the per-payment-link nature described above, that would not achieve the intended goal.
Do you have any thoughts or suggestions for alternative fields I could use to pass that uuid in?
Anywhere that it would be accessible within a webhook? Is there an alternative request I could fire from the success page, perhaps?

Oh if you just want a UUID then you want to use the URL params and a client_reference_id: https://docs.stripe.com/payment-links/url-parameters#streamline-reconciliation-with-a-url-parameter
That comes through the checkout.session.completed Event

Thank you, diving into that now!
