Thank you for the response
subtle magnet
Are you passing the customer parameter, or is Checkout creating a new customer?
harsh glade
We have a scenario that needs to set some additional parameters for customers
creating new customer in checkout
left crypt
then the options are mainly:
- instead, create a Customer directly with metadata and pass that Customer to the Session https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-customer
- after the payment when you're handling the webhook, you can update the Customer object that the Session created to set metadata on that Customer

So, we do not have the option to set the metadata for customers in the checkout session. right?
left crypt
the two options are the ones above, that's it really
harsh glade
Ok, thank you
if we set the metadata for the session, will those copy to other objects or they will stay at the checkout object itself?
left crypt
they stay on the Checkout object itself
in addition, there is for example payment_intent_data[metadata] that applies metadata to the PaymentIntent it would create in a one time payment, for example, or subscription_data[metadata] for those
harsh glade
can we pass the metadata to the subscription?
harsh glade
ok
