Hello! I believe you can update the Payment Intent's description, although I'm not 100% sure which part of our Dashboard that screenshot is from: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/update#update_payment_intent-description

#

alternatively is it possible to generate a csv report of all transaction with each product line item broken down in the transaction

#

for example transaction A shows product x, product y etc.

#

that screenshot is from payments -> all payments

#

is there no way to do it from within the stripe session checkout object, i get the error Stripe::InvalidRequestError (Received unknown parameter: description)

#

all of the data i need is broken out in the line items key of the object, i just need this to be pulled into a report via the dashboard

Sorry, let's back up a bit. You're using Checkout to charge people for multiple items in a single session and you want a report showing details broken down by each line item?

#

I am using the ruby api and creating sessions to charge users for 1 line item

#

i was just using that as an example of what i want to accomplish

#

but it's 1 session for 1 line item

#

and i want to display the product name (line_item: name) on a report

#

clicking into the transaction line item on dashboard -> payments -> all payments accurately shows the information i want to display in a report, the product name

I don't think that's something we support directly, it's likely something you would need to build on your end. You could do it with a query in Sigma: https://stripe.com/sigma

Or you could do it with a script/code that hits the API.

ok, but is there a way to update that "Description" column on the dashboard while the transaction is taking place?

#

That depends on your definition of "while the transaction is taking place". Let me test something, hang on...

#

I mean by passing in some param to the stripe: checkout :session object and having it update with the corresponding product name

#

stripe checkout session*

#

all of the information i have is here, i just need to surface it to the table so it can be generated in a report, unless there is another way

#

Okay, you can't set it on the Checkout Session itself, but you can update the Payment Intent created by the Checkout Session immediately after you create the Checkout Session. I just tested it and it works.

#

Does that make sense?

mellow drift Sep 28, 2021, 6:17 PM

#

yes, I think so, let me give it a go

#

thanks

#

No problem! If you need help with the code let me know. I tested in PHP as I'm not very good with Ruby, but I can muddle my way through if needed. 🙂

that was really helpful, thank you so much
