Hmm.... I don't think theres a way to do this

oh ok

What do you need it for? Maybe I can come up with an alternative that would be helpful

#

so after the order I am sending the costumer an email that his payment went through and some details about the order, and one of the details should have been when he created the order

Gotcha - so an easy workaround for this would be for you to capture the creation timestamp and put it in the metadata of the Checkout Session. That way you can easily reference it when you want to send the email

ok thanks thats a good idea

#

but how do I put stuff in the metadata

You would pass it in with your creation request in the metadata parameter - https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-metadata
