Hey @excid3
how can I save metadata to Pay::Charge i need to save order_id to metadata how can I?

I have the following record
#<Pay::Charge id: 26, customer_id: 1, subscription_id: nil, processor_id: "ch_3Jahv1LPbETizUXO0Frm3v3Y", amount: 1594, currency: "usd", application_fee_amount: nil, amount_refunded: 0, metadata: {}, data: {"brand"=>"Visa", "last4"=>"4242", "exp_year"=>"2024", "exp_month"=>"4", "payment_method_type"=>"card"}, created_at: "2021-09-17 09:22:52.000000000 -0500", updated_at: "2021-09-17 09:22:55.243256000 -0500">

Thanks in advance :)

This should work?

Pay::Charge.update(metadata: {order_id: 1})

Yea right is there any method to override the object while web hook processing?

Also should mention you can include it during your charge.

payment_processor.charge(19_00, metadata: {order_id: 1})

If you want to do processing after the charge is created, you can add a callback to the model. That's documented here: https://github.com/pay-rails/pay/blob/master/docs/8_customizing_models.md

If you are using Jumpstart, you can also modify the following method, which can be found in the account model:

def stripe_attributes(*args)
    {
      address: billing_address&.to_stripe,
      metadata: {
        key: value
      }
    }.compact
  end

This is triggered and sent to Stripe as soon as someone clicks on a plan, prior to actually entering their payment information.
