Hi hi! Can you tell me more about what exactly you're trying to accomplish?
river fulcrum
So what we want to do is pass some key value pairs to our products and prices so that when a user subscribes to one of these and the invoices are created, we can access this metadata through the line items and query our db more easily (we want to store our own ids in the metadata)
Am i making sense?
rough owl
You can add metadata to the Subscription that gets created, but I don't think you can add it to the one-off line items you're creating.

O got it, so can't do it per line item
Because the field does exist: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/object?api-version=2025-06-30.basil#invoice_object-lines-data-metadata
But maybe has to be added per subscription line item at some point? I'm not sure (we're using checkout).

You can update a Line Item to add metadata: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoice-line-item/update#update_line-metadata

You're right, i dont see the possibility to add metadata to line items from checkout session
river fulcrum
You can update a Line Item to add metadata: <https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoice...
Thing is we want this metadata to be in every line items in every invoice created subscriptions

Actually yep, you're right - that should work.
