Hi there 👋 we're not terribly familiar with reporting in this forum, but I can understand why just having products in descriptions would make it challenging to parse your data.

If you're working with payment requests then I don't think our metadata field is an option for you, which would allow a little more structure for custom data.

thank you @burnt dirge ! I see https://stripe.com/docs/api/charges/object#charge_object-metadata. so that may be an option to try before going full product api integration

Stripe API reference – The charge object – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

Oh, good call. If you can get to those Charge objects then that could be a good place to leverage metadata and store a more structured version of your data.

Thanks again @burnt dirge additionally I found https://stripe.com/docs/payments/charges-api#storing-information-in-metadata which seems to address the exact issues we are running in to 🙂
