Yes, you can update the description of a Payment Intent through the API - https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/update#update_payment_intent-description

Stripe API reference – Update a PaymentIntent – curl

Oh So payment intents and payments are the same

#

I'll test that, thanks!

halcyon owl Jul 19, 2022, 5:06 PM

#

👍

zealous drift Jul 19, 2022, 5:16 PM

#

I see that it works if the payment is made by a customer

#

but not for a transfer received from another account

#

I'm testing Connect, by the way

#

Hi there 👋 taking over

Can you link the docs for the field you are trying to update?

zealous drift Jul 19, 2022, 5:19 PM

#

Hi there

#

Can i show you an screenshot?

pearl blade Jul 19, 2022, 5:20 PM

#

Sure

zealous drift Jul 19, 2022, 5:20 PM

#

On my main account, I've made a transfer to a connected account.

#

pearl blade Jul 19, 2022, 5:20 PM

#

Are you doing that via the Dashboard?

zealous drift Jul 19, 2022, 5:21 PM

#

No, via api

#

#

Then I can see the payment on the other account

pearl blade Jul 19, 2022, 5:21 PM

#

Okay, so what are you trying to do with the description?

zealous drift Jul 19, 2022, 5:21 PM

#

But, we would like to change description and metadata

#

via api

pearl blade Jul 19, 2022, 5:21 PM

#

Description and metadata are both here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/transfers/create#create_transfer-description

Stripe API reference – Create a transfer – 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.

zealous drift Jul 19, 2022, 5:21 PM

#

since we can't do it via api, the transfer description and metadata are stored only on the mains account.

pearl blade Jul 19, 2022, 5:22 PM

#

You can update them like any other field via the API

zealous drift Jul 19, 2022, 5:22 PM

#

Yes, I have that on the main account

#

but I want to change it on the receiver account

#

We will use that fied so our partner can see details about each payment we do

pearl blade Jul 19, 2022, 5:23 PM

#

There is one Transfer object that gets updated. You cannot have it show differently for the platform and its' connected account

zealous drift Jul 19, 2022, 5:23 PM

#

Yes, but, there's no way to edit the payment via api?

#

I can do it using the dashboard

pearl blade Jul 19, 2022, 5:25 PM

#

i don't understand your question

#

You can update the transfer object via the API. You can also update the associated payment

zealous drift Jul 19, 2022, 5:25 PM

#

Sorry it's indeed confusing

#

There are 2 accounts

#

main account and partner account

#

I'm using connect

#

So I've made a transfer from main to partner

#

but, on the partner account

#

there's the payment for the transfer I made

#

but no description and metadata

#

I would like to edit that, I have access to the partner account

#

either via dashboard or api

#

I see that I can do it using the dashboard

#

But, I cannot find a way to do it via the api

pearl blade Jul 19, 2022, 5:32 PM

#

Can you link the Payment ID you're talking about?

zealous drift Jul 19, 2022, 5:33 PM

#

Sure

#

Taking a look now

#

I believe you have to update the underlying Charge object, but I need to confirm

zealous drift Jul 19, 2022, 5:52 PM

#

Thanks!

pearl blade Jul 19, 2022, 6:02 PM

#

Ah, okay so yes. You would have to make an API call to update via charge.update: https://stripe.com/docs/api/charges/update

Stripe API reference – Update a charge – 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.

#

You would just pass the py_ ID instead of a ch_ ID
