Hey! There are a couple options, what data are you looking to store?

[abstract tangle]

just a purchase order number 🙂

[twilit fox]

In that case I'd recommend the client_reference_id field: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-client_reference_id

Alternatively you can use metadata, which is a hash of key/value pairs: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-metadata

How are you hoping to access/use this data?

[abstract tangle]

is this something that the client can input in the checkout session? 🙂

Essentially, when he completes the checkout process he should select if it's a company.

1. he would add the name of the company + VAT number
2. He will input the PO number
3. He should see the invoice automatically + the PO.

There is not, no. You can't custom fields to the Checkout page. You'd need to capture those prior to creating the session (using those parameters)

You can collect tax IDs: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout/tax-id-collection

But Checkout won't produce an invoice for a one-time payment

[abstract tangle]

what? what do you mean by: No invoice if it's a one time payment?

am I getting this right ?

is it only available for subscriptions?

[twilit fox]

Stripe doesn't currency produce a tax compliant invoice for one-time payments. Only recurring payments yes

[abstract tangle]

hmmm

[twilit fox]

You can use Invoicing if you need one-time payments and invoices: https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing

Otherwise you'd need to handle it yourself with Checkout
