Metadata will only be on the objects you set it on, it is not automatically copied between related objects. So you will want to look at the checkout_session.succeeded event to see the metadata you set here

#

You can then use that to set the metadata on the payment intent if you would like

#

ok thx, i will try it

#

so, how to use the field "metadata" in the product and payment link pages ?

halcyon forge Feb 22, 2022, 3:31 PM

#

Where exactly are you setting it? Can you send me the snippet of code here?

sterile tulip Feb 22, 2022, 3:31 PM

#

also, I don't have the checkout_session.succeeded event in the webhook events list

#

halcyon forge Feb 22, 2022, 3:34 PM

#

Can you send me the snippet of code where you set this metadata?

#

Or are you setting it via the Dashboard?

sterile tulip Feb 22, 2022, 3:36 PM

#

halcyon forge Or are you setting it via the Dashboard?

in the dashboard

#

i created the product and the payment link in the dashboard

#

with metadata

#

and i get the stripe answer in my webhook

halcyon forge Feb 22, 2022, 3:38 PM

#

Do you have the ID from a payment intent that you have had confirmed here? (pi_123)

#

Apologies, I got the event name wrong. You will want to look at checkout.session.completed https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/events/evt_1KW06fG1Fds6O5aheR7l6g3i

#

That event has the Checkout Session which is what you are setting metadata on

sterile tulip Feb 22, 2022, 4:07 PM

#

ok perfect, thank you, i will check this

#

when there is a renewal event for a subscription, the checkout.sessions.completed is called again ?

halcyon forge Feb 22, 2022, 4:33 PM

#

No, that event is only called once when the user initially makes their purchase. There will be seperate events for the subscription cycle renewing

#

What are you trying to do when the cycle renews?

#

That can help decide what event you will want to listen to

sterile tulip Feb 22, 2022, 4:35 PM

#

i just want to renew a user key/license

halcyon forge Feb 22, 2022, 4:53 PM

#

It sounds like you want to set your metadata in the subsbcription_data.metadata field as well https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-subscription_data-metadata

#

Checkout Sessions will not automatically set data on the subscription

#

Then you can listen to the invoice.created event and check the Invoice's subscription for the metadata that you set

sterile tulip Feb 22, 2022, 4:54 PM

#

the subscription id will remain the same when renewal happens ?

halcyon forge Feb 22, 2022, 4:54 PM

#

invoice.created will be called every time the subscription renews

#

Yes

sterile tulip Feb 22, 2022, 4:55 PM

#

ok perfect

#

so after the renewal, i should receive a new checkout.sessions.completed ?

halcyon forge Feb 22, 2022, 4:57 PM

#

No, you will only receive that the very first time the user makes their payment

#

Or puts in their credit card info.

#

When the subscription cycle renews, you will get an invoice.created event and the Invoice will have a billing_reason of subscription_cycle

#

This may help clarify https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/overview#subscription-events

sterile tulip Feb 22, 2022, 4:58 PM

#

the invoice_created means that the customer paid ?

halcyon forge Feb 22, 2022, 5:01 PM

#

In that case, you want to listen to invoice.paid

#

invoice.created is only when the renewal is about to happen and the invoice is created

sterile tulip Feb 22, 2022, 5:02 PM

#

ok perfect, and in the invoice paid there is also the subscription id, right ?

halcyon forge Feb 22, 2022, 5:05 PM

#

Correct, the Invoice will have a Subscription ID https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-subscription
