hello there! Can you share more about your use case? and what you've setup / tried thus far?

At the start, I create a checkout session to start the subscription process with these values.

Please note the metadata, that is important for me

I need to get them when any of the invoice event is invoked in the webhook

How can i retrive the metadata in the webhook

[dry pond]

have you set up / deployed a webhook to listen for the events? https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks/quickstart

[solar crest]

yes

[dry pond]

alright, so when you receive the invoice event, it will contain line_items. A line_item with type=subscription will reflect the metadata of the subscription that caused the line item to be created. [0]

Will i get the metadata inside subscription_data or the outer metadata which i gave as params at the start of creating a checkout session above/

And is there any extra code needed to be written to retrieve the invoice event?

Currently my webhook looks like this

It is nodeja

nodejs*

this is an example from an invoice.payment_succeeded event

...
"lines": {
    "object": "list",
    "data": [
      {
        "id": "il_1KZ8jVJQtHgRImA7Fgh9E7zO",
        "object": "line_item",
        "amount": 2000,
        "currency": "usd",
        "description": "1 × Customer Portal Test (at $20.00 / month)",
        "discount_amounts": [
        ],
        "discountable": true,
        "discounts": [
        ],
        "livemode": false,
        "metadata": {
          "key": "value"
        },
        "period": {
          "end": 1648969552,
          "start": 1646291152
        },
        "plan": {
          "id": "price_...
...

you can see

 "metadata": {
          "key": "value"
        },

i'd suggest you create a Checkout Session, complete it, then you'll be able to see how the events look like in the Stripe Dashboard
