I don't understand the question I'm afraid, could you clarify?

#

look when I create a subscription and put some metadata on the webhook e I get metadata on both subscription.update and invoice.paid

#

my question now

#

it seems to me that there are events when I do not receive this metadata inside invoice.paid

smoky valley Dec 23, 2021, 11:36 AM

#

that's very vague sorry

#

what are those events specifically? The exact evt_xxx event IDs that don't have metadata that you expect to see, for example.

#

i just need to know when metadata is automatically passed from subscription to invoice.paid

#

and when not

smoky valley Dec 23, 2021, 11:42 AM

#

as far as I know, never.

#

metadata on the Subscription object is on the Subscription object, it does not get copied down to the Invoices that Subscription creates; if that's what you mean.

#

thanks. So what should I be looking at with this?

queen agate Dec 23, 2021, 11:51 AM

#

"evt_1K9UwsBfTh1Z0SMkPpJmiz2W", "evt_1K9UwtBfTh1Z0SMkBb5RMgM6",

#

copied metadata here

#

the fact is that all this is unpredictable

#

I just need to understand when this is being passed

smoky valley Dec 23, 2021, 11:53 AM

#

queen agate the fact is that all this is unpredictable

are you referring to the metadata on the Invoice line item sli_10bdd1BfTh1Z0SMk044eee0a in the Event evt_1K9UwtBfTh1Z0SMkBb5RMgM6 ?

queen agate Dec 23, 2021, 11:53 AM

#

yes

smoky valley Dec 23, 2021, 11:55 AM

#

then yes, that has the metadata from the Subscription, as documented here : https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/line_item#invoice_line_item_object-metadata

Note it's the line item that inherits the metadata, not the overall Invoice object itself.

#

that all seems normal. Do you have an example of something where you expected metadata but didn't see it, since you say it's unpredictable?

queen agate Dec 23, 2021, 11:57 AM

#

yes I just accidentally looked at the webhook history and there is invoice.paid where there is no metadata

#

and in order for everything to work properly, everything I decided to clarify this with you

smoky valley Dec 23, 2021, 11:59 AM

#

queen agate yes I just accidentally looked at the webhook history and there is invoice.paid ...

to clarify, when you say that, you mean you looked at the top-level metadata on the Invoice and saw it's blank? That's expected, as I said, the Invoice does not inherit metadata from the Subscription. The line item in the invoice does though.
