It depends. There's no native field on the Balance Transaction object to denote that. You'll need to expand the source property, which will give you the related Charge object, and you can go levels beyond that to get the Payment Intent, etc

#

The likelihood is that you'll need to set some metadata on the PL that persists on Payment Intents it generates, and you can use that to tie it back from the Balance Trasnaction

#

e.g. set payment_intent_data[metadata] on your Payment Link(s), and then that is set on the resulting Payment Intent. Then you can get to that from the Balance Transaction by expanding source.payment_intent

Thankyou sir, how can i set payment_intent_data[metadata], can you please send me a screenshoot

Are you using the API, or the Dashboard to create Payment Links?

#

Dashboard

marsh cypress Apr 23, 2026, 9:42 AM

#

I don't think that is supported there today 🙁

Not sure what you're showing me here

metadata is set in payment link dashboard, But not display in balance transactions

marsh cypress Apr 23, 2026, 9:46 AM

#

Can you share the pi_xxx ID of a payment you're looking at?

latent moon Apr 23, 2026, 9:47 AM

#

PaymentLink: https://buy.stripe.com/test_3cI6oJ7No01MfSr6Lh0Fi00

#

Transaction: pi_3TPJlpPt6eIFbWc22Hv2jMjp

#

Thanks, checking

#

OK, so it looks like you actually set metadata on the Payment Link, and that is then persisted on the underlying Checkout Session that is generated (here). We talk about this concept here: https://docs.stripe.com/metadata#exceptions

Metadata

Store custom key-value pairs on Stripe objects to track additional information for your business needs.

#

But there's no way to get to that object/metadata from the Balance Transaction sadly

#

Okay, Is there another way to identify the transactions(from payment link, from API)

marsh cypress Apr 23, 2026, 10:02 AM

#

Yeah I think you can do this:

Expand source.payment_intent on the Balance Transaction
List the Checkout Sessions, passing the pi_xxx ID: https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/list
Look at the payment_link property

List all Checkout Sessions | Stripe API Reference

#

A few more steps, but should work
