If you want to store additional/custom data at a resource's level, you can make use of Chargebee's Metadata.
For example, if you're a data service provider and want to store additional information of a particular plan, you can store it in the Metadata of the Plan.
Metadata can be passed during the Add/Update operations, for the following entities:
Metadata can be stored only in the JSON format. You can use nested JSON objects as well.
Note
- Metadata is completely for your reference and will not be visible to customers. If you'd like to include fields in the hosted pages, invoices and customer portal, other than the default fields, use Custom Fields.
- Metadata will not be a filter criteria, or a part of the exports. For this purpose, use Custom Fields if necessary.
- Copy Configurations option in your Chargebee TEST site does not copy the Metadata saved in your TEST site to your LIVE site
