Hello everyone,
I am trying to set up Stripe integration to charge users if they purchase a plan. I have managed to get most things up and running and can receive Stripe Payment events (
payment_intent.succeeded) in my backend (Supabase) to take action like updating a user’s plan e.t.c
However, there is a small issue which is that the PaymentIntent object does not contain any details about the Price / Product e.t.c which I can use to identify the exact plan purchased by customer.
Of course, I can rely on the purchase amount and put some business logic but that would be a bit hacky and not maintainable incase of pricing changes at my end.
What I understand is that I need to pass on some metadata while creating the Payment Intent object (or update the Payment Intent object later with the metadata) But it looks like I can’t do this with the “Create Payment Intent” action on workflow. I could try to update the created Payment Intent object with Weweb REST API action but it requires passing on Stripe Secret key so it looks like a security risk.
Updating the Payment Intent object from the backend would be a bit cumbersome as all the purchase context lies in the frontend.
What is the recommended way to solve this issue?
PS: On the web, some people suggested retrieving the invoice associated with PaymentIntent and extract line items from there but it is empty in my case.
