Stripe New Button No Desciption sent

[ryanbc]

When using the Stripe New button for pay now payment, Stripe is not receiving the description form the plugin.

[The Assurer]

This is usually caused by the newer Stripe Checkout API not receiving the description parameter in the same way older Stripe APIs did. The payment may still work correctly, but the description field might not appear in the Stripe dashboard or payment details as expected.

A few things to check first:

Which exact button type are you using?
“Stripe Buy Now”
“Stripe Subscription”
“Stripe SCA Buy Now”
“Stripe SCA Subscription”
Or the newer “Stripe New” button
Where are you expecting the description to appear?
Stripe Dashboard payment entry
Checkout page
Receipt email
Metadata field
Bank/card statement descriptor
Can you share:
A screenshot of the payment button configuration
A screenshot from Stripe showing the missing description
The plugin version you are using

Also, please ensure the SWPM debug logs are turned on.
