How can I update the Stripe charge description with the gclid parameter in GiveWP donations?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I have a donation form at the bottom of this page (not the top button) where I send donations: https://petit-magicien.fr/faire-un-don-petit-magicien/?gclid=test213test

My goal is to update the Stripe charge description to something like “Petit Magicien Conversion GAds | gclid=test213test”.

To achieve this, I added the following function in my functions.php file:

PHP
function stripe_custom_description($description) { // Vérifier si le gclid est présent dans l'URL if (isset($_GET['gclid']) && !empty($_GET['gclid'])) { $gclid = sanitize_text_field($_GET['gclid']); // Définir une nouvelle description seulement si le gclid existe $description = "Petit Magicien Conversion GAds | gclid=" . $gclid; } // Retourner la description (modifiée ou originale) return $description; } add_filter('give_payment_gateway_donation_summary', 'stripe_custom_description', 10, 1);

However, even with the URL parameter ?gclid=test213test, the final description sent to Stripe does not update. I've read suggestions indicating that the filter give_payment_gateway_donation_summary may only alter the display summary on the site, not the actual Stripe charge description.

What adjustments can I make so that the Stripe charge description includes the gclid parameter?

It looks like the filter you’re using (give_payment_gateway_donation_summary) isn’t actually the one that sets the description on the Stripe Charge. Instead, the donation summary may be used for display on your site only. To pass a custom description to Stripe, you need to adjust the parameters sent in the API call that creates the charge.

For GiveWP using Stripe, you can use the filter that modifies the Stripe charge data. For example, try hooking into give_stripe_charge_data like this:

PHP
function custom_stripe_charge_description( $charge_data ) { if ( isset( $_GET['gclid'] ) && !empty( $_GET['gclid'] ) ) { $gclid = sanitize_text_field( $_GET['gclid'] ); $charge_data['description'] = "Petit Magicien Conversion GAds | gclid=" . $gclid; } return $charge_data; } add_filter( 'give_stripe_charge_data', 'custom_stripe_charge_description' );

This filter modifies the array of data that will be sent to Stripe when creating the charge. Make sure that:

  • The filter name is correct for your version of GiveWP/Stripe integration.
  • There aren’t any caching issues or other overrides modifying the charge data later in the process.

Using the above approach should ensure that the description you send to Stripe is updated with the gclid parameter from the URL.
