Support for meta information while creating payment and more importantly with webhook event response

[thinkstudeo]

General information

This is not an issue but a request.

The current webhook event response does not have provision to return any meta information.

It would be nice to have a property/field for meta information when the payment is created for eg:

'meta' => [
    'cart_id' => 'SOMECARTID'
]

maybe via a setMeta()

public function setMeta(array $meta)
{
    $this->meta = array_merge($this->meta, $meta);
}

public function getMeta()
{
    return $this->meta;
}

/** 
  * Can then be used to add meta info when creating payment 
  * And then when webhook event response is returned
  * This meta info is returned in the event response
  */
$this->setMeta([
    'cart_id' => 'SOMECARTID',
    'order_no' => '123456'
]);

And then when a webhook is subscribed for eg: PAYMENT.CAPTURE.COMPLETED the webhook event response returns this meta information within the response.

{
    "meta": {
        "cart_id": "SOMECARTID",
        "order_id": 123456
    }
}

This would help in tracking down the record (database) corresponding to the captured event easily.

Currently the tracking has to be done via the payment/resource id returned by the webhook event response - which means to create one more index on the database on the payment_id column.

Ability to add and get meta information in webhook event response will help simplify the process of reconciliation.
