What information does the Stripe WooCommerce Extension add to my orders?

When an order is placed on your WooCommerce site and the Stripe WooCommerce Extension is used to process that payment, that order will include some Stripe identification numbers to help you identify this specific payment in your Stripe dashboard.

Stripe identification numbers

Stripe assigns unique identification numbers to help identify what kind of information is being processed. This ID will be comprised of three separate components:

1. Two to three letters that indicate what kind of item is being identified. For example:
   • A dispute will start with the letters du.
   • A refund will start with the letters re.
   • An event will start with the letters evt.
   • A Stripe merchant account will start with the letters acct.
2. A unique, case-sensitive identifier.
3. An underscore (_) to separate the two.

When combined, it will look something like this:

These IDs will appear in two different places:

1. The order details at the top of the page.
2. The order notes metabox.
