Hi there

[steady veldt]

Hey

[ionic dagger]

So this is possible, but in a slighlty indirect way. First, you need to fetch the associated Checkout Session, which you can do with a List call, passing the PaymentIntent ID. When you add metadata to a Payment Link object, this actually gets passed to the Checkout Session, so you should be able to get the data you're looking for there

[steady veldt]

Ah okay, so it will appear under the checkout session object

Does the payment intent not return the checkout session object

[ionic dagger]

Yep. An alternative approach for you may be just listen for the checkout.session.completed event, which will have this info more readily available

[steady veldt]

Okay, so what's the difference between that and payment_intent.success?

I'm trying to understand which is better for my use case

[ionic dagger]

The checkout.session.completed generally contains a lot more information, so it's usually a lot more useful to listen to this, so this what we generally recommend. Some more useful info about this here: https://docs.stripe.com/checkout/fulfillment

Interesting. For now I have no subscriptions, but in the future if I were to implement a subscription, how would that flow go?
