Hi vilesa, I'll take a quick look

#

req_CVHG38MQaeglx0 is basically a subscription

#

I know there's a common confusion about metadata

#

you need to know on what object you're setting the metadata

#

in your case you set the metadata on the subscription while listening to a payment_intent.succeeded event which returns a PaymentIntent

#

ok so conclusion: there's no way for me to get the metadata feeding into the pi_ ?

#

actually there is

#

but just give me a sec I'm retrieving the docs I wanted to share with you

#

actually there isn't an easy way of solving the issue

#

but you have 2 options basically

#

either listen to the invoice.paid event instead of payment_intent.succeeded as we suggest here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/webhooks#tracking-active-subscriptions--tracking-

Using webhooks with subscriptions

Learn to use webhooks to receive notifications of subscription activity.

#

and then retrieve the Invoice expanding fields like subscription which gives you access to the metadata you stored

#

and by the way this is our recommendation

#

or you could use your payment_intent.charges.data[0].invoice to retrieve the invoice and expand on subscription
