This feature allows you to control how transaction descriptions appear within your Stripe dashboard's payment intents, giving you the flexibility to choose between a standardized label or a dynamic, transaction-specific identifier.
When a payment is processed through the PayPack integration, a description is sent to Stripe. You can configure this setting under the General tab of your PayPack integration settings based on your business preferences:
- Transaction Type (Standard): Passes a generic description based on the type of transaction (e.g.,
PayPack Sales Order). - Transaction Id (Dynamic): Passes a specific reference containing the unique record identifier (e.g.,
Sales Order SLS000000622).
Configuration
To update this setting in your PayPack dashboard, follow these steps:
- Navigate to PayPack → Setup → Configuration.
- Scroll down to the Primary settings block to locate the STRIPE RECEIPT DESCRIPTION field.
- Click the dropdown menu and select your preferred format: Transaction Type or Transaction Id.
- Click Save to apply the changes.
Description Fields
Review the differences below to see how each configuration choice maps directly to the Description field inside your Stripe Dashboard details.
Transaction Type
Choosing Transaction Type populates a static description indicating the general source of the charge. This is ideal if you prefer a uniform look across all standard integration transactions.
- Example Stripe Description Output:
PayPack Sales Order
Transaction Id
Choosing Transaction Id dynamically injects the exact record number or ID associated with the transaction. This option is highly recommended if you want easier cross-referencing and reconciliation between Stripe and your internal sales orders.
- Example Stripe Description Output:
Sales Order SLS000000622
