Hi there!

turbid hatch Jun 27, 2022, 8:36 AM

#

hi friend, pls

#

Are you trying to set items.metadata for a subscription? If so, what is the issue?

turbid hatch Jun 27, 2022, 8:37 AM

#

#

I had tried to create a sub

#

but the Items.metadata didn't set

#

according my above code

undone kiln Jun 27, 2022, 8:38 AM

#

Can you share the request ID (req_xxx)? Here's how you can find it: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

turbid hatch Jun 27, 2022, 8:40 AM

#

req_FLewZbOizqeQJa

undone kiln Jun 27, 2022, 8:42 AM

#

It looks like that request worked, and I do see the metadata on the items. Why do you think it's not working?

turbid hatch Jun 27, 2022, 8:44 AM

#

#

because it doesn't have metadata

#

so it didn't work.

undone kiln Jun 27, 2022, 8:46 AM

#

you didn't add the metadata to the subscription, but to the items. If you want to add the metadata to the subscription, then you need to use this: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-metadata

turbid hatch

it didn't work?

turbid hatch Jun 27, 2022, 8:48 AM

#

undone kiln you didn't add the metadata to the subscription, but to the `items`. If you want...

the code is to create the subscription and is similar to the url you same

#

sent

#

the code about the Items, I give two params, one is sub_id another is Metadata

#

the code can create the sub, but it seem wrong that doesn't create the Metadata at the same time

#

maybe you should check the event

#

"evt_1LEx4TD5BdSHt7NMylAD4MEh"

#

#

the webhook back didn't attach the metadata

undone kiln Jun 27, 2022, 8:56 AM

#

Where do you want to create the metadata? On the subscription? On the subscription.item? On the invoice?
Each of these is different.

turbid hatch Jun 27, 2022, 8:57 AM

#

I want to create the sub with the metadata at the same time.

undone kiln Jun 27, 2022, 9:00 AM

#

Then it should be something like this:

var options = new SubscriptionCreateOptions
{
  Customer = "cus_xxx",
  Items = new List<SubscriptionItemOptions>
  {
    new SubscriptionItemOptions
    {
      Price = "price_xxx",
    },
  },
  Metadata: # add the metadata here, directly on the subscription object
};

turbid hatch Jun 27, 2022, 9:02 AM

#

metadata object is in Items, it's no problem.

#

undone kiln Jun 27, 2022, 9:04 AM

#

I'm sorry I'm a bit lost.
The code you shared at the very beginning is correct and works, I can see the metadata stored in the subscription.item on your account.
Earlier you said you want the metadata directly on the subscription object, so I showed you how to do that.
And now you want it in subscription.item?

turbid hatch Jun 27, 2022, 9:05 AM

#

it did't store in the subscription.item. Didn't work. I want to know why?

#

pls check the req_FLewZbOizqeQJa and event evt_1LEx4TD5BdSHt7NMylAD4MEh

#

or you should try the way I have done subscription with the metadata created

undone kiln Jun 27, 2022, 9:12 AM

#

it did't store in the subscription.item. Didn't work. I want to know why?
Why do you say it didn't work? Is it because you don't see it in the invoice.paid event?

turbid hatch Jun 27, 2022, 9:13 AM

#

more than that invoice.paid event and the picture didn't have

turbid hatch Jun 27, 2022, 9:13 AM

#

turbid hatch

the picture

#

it's normal like this picture.

#

#

so I'm very confused

undone kiln Jun 27, 2022, 9:15 AM

#

The invoice.paid event doesn't have subscription.item in it, so it's expected to not see the metadata. If you want to see it here, you could:

add the metadata directly to the price ID
or add the metadata to the subscription itself, and when you receive the event invoice.paid retrieve the subscription associated with the invoice.

turbid hatch Jun 27, 2022, 9:17 AM

#

you mean I should do that for two steps? one step is just create the sub, or the another step is attach metadata associated the sub_id?

undone kiln Jun 27, 2022, 9:17 AM

#

No I didn't say that.

#

so I'm very confused
Is this a screenshot of the subscription in the dashboard? If so, you need to add the metadata directly to the subscription (as I showed you earlier) to see the metadata there.

turbid hatch Jun 27, 2022, 9:20 AM

#

If you're not quite sure why, I can show the problem again. I think this is a bug. Or your documentation doesn't write clearly about some situations, which makes it impossible to create Metadata when creating subscriptions at the same time.

undone kiln Jun 27, 2022, 9:22 AM

#

Can you try my suggestion:

var options = new SubscriptionCreateOptions
{
  Customer = "cus_xxx",
  Items = new List<SubscriptionItemOptions>
  {
    new SubscriptionItemOptions
    {
      Price = "price_xxx",
    },
  },
  Metadata: # add the metadata here, directly on the subscription object
};

This will add metadata directly to the subscription, and you will be able to see it in the dashboard.
And when you get invoice.paid event, find the subscription ID in the invoice.subscription property, then retrieve the subscription object, and you will see the metadata.

#

Would that solve your issue? If not, please let me know exactly what is the issue.

turbid hatch Jun 27, 2022, 9:24 AM

#

you code dosen't include DefaultPaymentMethod

#

that's important

undone kiln Jun 27, 2022, 9:25 AM

#

Yes this is just an example, feel free to add DefaultPaymentMethod or anything else

#

Just make sure to keep the Metadata directly on the subscription object (and not on the item object)

turbid hatch Jun 27, 2022, 9:25 AM

#

#

is it Ok? my code

undone kiln Jun 27, 2022, 9:26 AM

#

Your code looks okay, but you didn't change the metadata. You need to move it from the items and put it on the subscription directly (see my example above)

#

Can you copy-paste your code directly here? I'll show you.

turbid hatch Jun 27, 2022, 9:27 AM

#

params := &stripe.SubscriptionParams{
Customer: stripe.String("cus_xxx"),
DefaultPaymentMethod: stripe.String("pm_xxx"),
Items: []*stripe.SubscriptionItemsParams{
{
Price: stripe.String("price_xxx"),
Metadata: map[string]string{
"subscriber": "whmtest",
"streamer": "philgodlewski",
"period": "monthly",
},
},
},
TrialEnd: stripe.Int64(1657505820),
BillingCycleAnchor: stripe.Int64(1657505820),
}

#

it's golang code

undone kiln Jun 27, 2022, 9:29 AM

#

Can you try something like this? This will add the metadata directly to the subscription:

params := &stripe.SubscriptionParams{
        Customer:             stripe.String("cus_xxx"),
        DefaultPaymentMethod: stripe.String("pm_xxx"),
        Items: []*stripe.SubscriptionItemsParams{
            {
                Price: stripe.String("price_xxx"),
            },
        },
        TrialEnd:           stripe.Int64(1657505820),
        BillingCycleAnchor: stripe.Int64(1657505820),
        Metadata: map[string]string{
            "subscriber": "whmtest",
            "streamer":   "philgodlewski",
            "period":     "monthly",
        },
    }

#

sorry it's wrong

#

metadata must in Items

#

SubscriptionParams dosen't have the Metadata object

#

SubscriptionParams just has the Items

👋 , I'm stepping in for my colleague @undone kiln

turbid hatch Jun 27, 2022, 9:36 AM

#

Hi, pls help me to solve the problem.

wintry junco Jun 27, 2022, 9:37 AM

#

a couple of things

#

1- https://stripe.com/docs/api/metadata?lang=go here's how you can create Metadata in Go

metadata.put("order_id", "6735");```

Stripe API reference – Metadata – Go

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

#

2- as my colleague explained, you are putting the metadata in the Items Object instead of the Subscription

#

so you need to move it from the SubscriptionItemParams to the SubscriptionParams object itself

turbid hatch Jun 27, 2022, 9:40 AM

#

wintry junco 2- as my colleague explained, you are putting the metadata in the Items Object i...

no, I create the sub with the metadata at the same time

turbid hatch Jun 27, 2022, 9:41 AM

#

wintry junco so you need to move it from the SubscriptionItemParams to the SubscriptionParams...

I had showed that it's report worng

#

#

the SubscriptionParams didn't have the Metadata Object

wintry junco Jun 27, 2022, 9:50 AM

#

what version of the Stripe golang library are you using?

turbid hatch Jun 27, 2022, 9:52 AM

#

github.com/stripe/stripe-go/v72 v72.113.0

wintry junco Jun 27, 2022, 9:57 AM

#

In go you can't add Metadata in this way

#

instead use this params.AddMetadata("order_id", "6735")

#

on your SubscriptionParams object
