Metadata

If you want to store additional/custom data at a resource's level, you can make use of Chargebee's Metadata.

  • 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 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

Refer to this link for more information on Metadata.
