👋 happy to help

Or do i also need to specify price data even if I added the priceId field to make sure the metadata is always in invoice line items?
https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create?api-version=2025-05-28.basil#create_checkout_session-line_items-price_data-product_data-metadata
And even better, would it work if when creating a product I passed this metadata? So would it be passed as metadata to invoice line items when a user subscribes to one of my product's prices? Because a product can have multiple prices (so instead of price level, at product level)
slate viper
these are the only indirectly set metadata
sorry I meant to send this https://docs.stripe.com/metadata#exceptions
frail fable
So I would need to set metadata here so that it is passed to invoice line items even though it's defined at product and price level?
https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create?api-version=2025-05-28.basil#create_checkout_session-line_items-price_data-product_data-metadata
slate viper
no
this won't be passed to the line items level
if you add the metadata to the subscription it will be copied to the Invoice Line Items
otherwise you can just keep the metadata on the price
and when you look at the Invoice Line Item
you can retrieve the price and see the metadata on it
frail fable
okay got it and is there a quick way to do it when there's quite a few line items? Eg receive invoice.created webhook and expand all line items at once? Or do I have to go one by one?
slate viper
you can directly access the line items on the invoice
but if there's more than 10 you need to paginate
frail fable
Yes but I dont see how i can access the price id's metadata, not seeing expandable fields for price id, only receive the string id
slate viper
yes you get the id from here https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-lines-data-pricing-price_details-price
and then you retrieve the price
frail fable
okay got it so have to go one by one (in some api calls, i can just expand fields, but not available for invoice)
slate viper
yes correct
frail fable
okay got it thank you
