Stripe checkout: Pass metadata on Session object creation and receive it in checkout.session.completed event

I'm implementing Stripe checkout on a website and I want to pass some specific data on checkout.session.complete. Here is what I tried: 

'mode' => 'payment',
'payment_intent_data' => [
    'metadata' => [
        'eventId' => $eventId,
    ],
 ],

But I don't receive those datas in my webhook. What am I doing wrong ?

payment_intent_data gets added to the resulting PaymentIntent object, not the Checkout\Session object. It won't be present in the checkout.session.complete webhook data you're sent.

(The PaymentIntent's ID will be, so if you like, you could request that object's data as part of your webhook processing. You could also collect the payment_intent.created webhook type, but you'd have to correlate it after the fact with the session.)

The easier approach here is probably setting a client_reference_id on the Checkout Session. This ID is passed back via the webhook, and can be any arbitrary string you like - it could be a session or cache key that let you look up the metadata you're looking for.
