Hi there. I'll be with you in just a moment

[formal radish]

fyi i'm taking over for palamedes! looking into your question now

[silent berry]

okok !!

[formal radish]

ok, just to summarize, you're listening to an event which is returning a checkout ID, and you want to use that to retrieve the product name?

[silent berry]

yes i'm listening checkout.session.completed

[formal radish]

the expansion you've provided looks correct to me

can you share an example checkout session you've tried this with?

ok yeah, i just tried this on a few API versions just to make sure it isn't something that changed recently and it looks like it works on the most recent version as well as a few I tried from 2024 at least

i did that bc its the name of the product i need but doesn't work

        session = stripe.checkout.Session.retrieve(
            obj["id"],
            expand=["line_items"]
        )

        items = session.line_items.data
        product = ""
        if items:
            product = items[0].description or ""

[formal radish]

it looks like you're creating these via a payment link right?

[silent berry]

yes

[formal radish]

what happens if you just log out the session you retrieve from this?

                obj["id"],
                expand=["line_items.data.price.product"]
            )```

[formal radish]

it looks like the name is in there!

i think the issue is maybe with your code

[silent berry]

a ye i checked i

sorry i thinking it was the retrieve

[formal radish]

not sure what you mean by that?

[silent berry]

I initially thought the issue was on Stripe’s side (the session not returning the name), so I hadn’t tried pulling it manually and inspecting it end‑to‑end. I just checked and the session payload does include it.

So it’s on my side: my webhook code must not be reading the field correctly in the code path that builds the email. I’ll add logs around session.line_items.data[0].price.product.name (and fallback to line_items.data[0].description) to see where it’s getting lost.

ty for ur help anyway

[formal radish]

makes sense. i did test your code real quick (in a slightly different form) and it actually works just fine for me

    session = stripe.checkout.Session.create(
        line_items=[
            {
                'price_data': {
                    'product_data': {
                        'name': 'Test Product'
                    },
                    'unit_amount': 1000,
                    'currency': 'usd'
                },
                'quantity': 1
            }
        ],
        mode='payment',
        success_url='https://google.com/success',
        cancel_url='https://google.com/cancel',
        expand=['line_items.data.price.product']
    )

    items = session.line_items.data
    product = ""
    if items:
        prod = items[0].price.product
        product = prod.name
    print(product)```

[silent berry]
