How-to: Improve Reconciling with Stripe using Metadata
When you accept payments via Stripe, the money is settled directly into your account. YouLi passes metadata through to improve your reconciliation.
😎 Metadata in your Charge Descriptions

⚡For your bookkeepers: More metadata in Stripe
Meta data is now being passed with the payment and automatically included in any payment exports and zaps!
- YouLiInstallmentLabel
- Example: "Deposit"
- This can include multiple installments if it is a "catchup payment"
- YouLiReferenceCode
- Example: "GW8F6AGILU"
- YouLiTripAlias (aka Trip Short Name)
- Example: "jordan-cambodia-template"
- YouLiTripName
- Example: "Jordan Cambodia Template"
- internalPaymentId
- Example: "3ec45c46-9992-ee11-8925-000d3afbdcd4"
- Use this when reporting issues so we know exactly which payment
To access this data in Stripe:
1. Look at the payment (click from Manage Payments)
2. Export all your payments and see these columns at the end of the row

This data is also passed in the Stripe webhooks that can be caught in Zapier
If you need to use this data in your zaps, just check in the "metadata" object as shown in the screenshot below.
