Metadata
Metadata can be used to store data associated to a payment
that can be retrieved later by performing a GET on the
payment.
Swedbank Pay does not use or process metadata, it is only stored on the
payment so it can be retrieved later alongside the
payment. An example where metadata might be useful is when
several internal systems are involved in the payment process, and the payment
creation is done in one system and post-purchases take place in another.
In order to transmit data between these two internal systems, the data can be
stored in metadata on the payment so the internal systems do
not need to communicate with each other directly. The usage of metadata field
is shown in the abbreviated Purchase request below.
