How to set meta_data using the API?
1 Comment
Hi Chao,
You're right, you wouldn't be able to use Chargebee's hosted pages API to pass in meta-data values.
Hosted pages API is used to create a link (URL) which will be sent to the customers, so that they can go through the checkout process to sign up for a new subscription.
You can pass on meta-data using Chargebee's create subscriptions API, where a subscription is created using API and the meta-data is passed within that API itself.
Also, meta-data can be passed even while updating a subscription. So, after the subscription is successfully signed-up by your customer, you can call update the subscription API to pass the metadata.
More on subscription's API here.

Please note that metadata is only for your reference and will not be visible to customers.
I see that we have also been able to write to your email via the support channel about this! Feel free to let us know if we could help further :)

I tried to create a subscription with meta data. My request is like this:
https://XXX/api/v2/hosted_pages/checkout_new
billing_cycles:10000
customer[id]:YYYY
subscription[auto_collection]:on
subscription[meta_data]:[{"field1"["value1","value2"]}]
subscription[plan_id]:[ZZZZ]
subscription[plan_quantity]:2]
It doesn't work. The subscription was created successfully w/o the meta data.
Did I do it wrongly or hosted page API doesn't support meta_data?
