Can you share an example checkout session id where this happened
wicked dragon
i am not sure i understood, are you asking for the id of the session i have created via CLI?
wicked dragon
sure, actually none of my trials. this is the idea of the last one: cs_test_a12ywdRQkghaWkYTzr4aak9l8DwoT3FfNQvlbZLbixVREK3QuoCYYcrQtB
steep lava
That's pretty weird. Looking
Oh wait
checkout.session.created is not a valid event
What's your goal?
You can see the list of valid events here: https://docs.stripe.com/api/events/types
wicked dragon
thats great!
i actually want to get the event before the customer of the marchant is charged so i can change things in the payment intent object
steep lava
Oh that's not possible with checkout unfortunately
steep lava
Payment intent is created after the fact
So you can't do this
What are you trying to change specifically?
wicked dragon
StatementDescriptorSuffix
steep lava
You can set that on creation though: https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-payment_intent_data-statement_descriptor_suffix
wicked dragon
ok, and if i want to do it on my users behalf?
steep lava
I don't know what you mean by that
wicked dragon
my app will be installed by merchants
and i want to manage stuff like StatementDescriptorSuffix for them
steep lava
there is a compliance issue with that?
I don't know that's why I said I can't speak to it
steep lava
but i do need some event right?
Why?
wicked dragon
because i need to do it for them in every checkout
so i need something to trigger me
(i'm avoiding from being a Proxy)
my assumption is that i can get a notification (webhook), than i can do my thing for my users
is that possible?
steep lava
Why do you need a notification
You can set it in every checkout session in the creation request
Or are you saying you're not the one creating the checkout sessions?
wicked dragon
how? i am not a part checkout process, i am a Stripe App
wicked dragon
Ah! sure?? 100%?
steep lava
You can't intercept the payment intent from a checkout session and change the statement descriptor before the payment is processed
wicked dragon
ok... and there is no chance I can change it?
steep lava
Due to how checkout works it's impossible
Payment intent isn't created until the end of the flow
You don't have time to update it
wicked dragon
ok, thanks!
your patient is very appriciated
🫶
i'm sorry but last time, maybe i missed something
i can't update the "StatementDescriptorSuffix" field if i am not creating the checkout session?
steep lava
Correct
wicked dragon
ok, thanks
