👋 Do uyou have more details? The request id you shared is a call to the Create PaymentMethod API and is unrelated to the Checkout Session request or the data you are trying to extract so I don't really follow what you mean
wraith swallow
Sorry. I am a first time visitor to this site and it is confusing as to how I must do stuff.
little otter
No worries, I'm happy to help but I need more specific details about your code
wraith swallow
I was told by the AI chat that I could get custom fields added to the Transaction download files if I add metadata to my code:
$checkout_session = $stripe->checkout->sessions->create([
'ui_mode' => 'embedded',
'payment_method_types' => ['card'],
'line_items' =>
[[
'price' => $price->id,
'quantity' => 1,
]],
'metadata' =>['pay_site' => 'Public Company Store',
'invoice_num' => '".$invoice."', ],
'mode' => 'payment',
'return_url' => 'https://www.burlingtonroute.org/company_store_stripe/store/page4_return.php?session_ID={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}',
]);
But the "pay_site' and the invoice_number do not show up in the download file.
I have been doing web sites using PHP procedural style for many years, but not OOP php

But the "pay_site' and the invoice_number do not show up in the download file.
what does that mean? what download file? How are you generating it?
Your code is correct but it's adding metadata specifically to the Checkout Session object. This won't go on the PaymentIntent or related Charge. Each object has its own metadata and you have to understand that part so that when you do a report (in the Dashboard or an API) you know where to pull the metadata from.
Does that make sense?
wraith swallow
On the Stripe dashboard -> transactions -> download (over on the right side of the screen) is a CSV file that list transactions made for a selected period.
little otter
yeah sorry I'm a developer too so I never touch reports or the Dashboard. I don't really know what that report does or what information it pulls
There's a UI I think to ask it for a lot more columns including all metadata
But my gut is still what I said above: you added the metadata in the wrong place so it never shows.
Try to change the code to ```
$checkout_session = $stripe->checkout->sessions->create([
'ui_mode' => 'embedded',
'payment_method_types' => ['card'],
'line_items' => [
[
'price' => $price->id,
'quantity' => 1,
],
],
'payment_intent_data' => [
'metadata' =>[
'pay_site' => 'Public Company Store',
'invoice_num' => '".$invoice."',
],
],
'mode' => 'payment',
'return_url' => 'https://www.burlingtonroute.org/company_store_stripe/store/page4_return.php?session_ID={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}',
]);
Okay, I will give that a try. Thanks! Bye.
little otter
sure thing!
