Meta object missing on Webhook Payload

1

I am working with Python and Flask.
This is how I set the meta field the the payload before initializing a payment:

payload = {
                    "tx_ref": "rave-" + generate_random_string(8),  # This should be a unique reference
                    "amount": str(amount),
                    "currency": "NGN",
                    "redirect_url": "https://trendit3.vercel.app/homepage",
                    "meta": {
                        "user_id": user_id,
                        "payment_type": payment_type,
                    },
                    "customer": {
                        "email": user_email,
                        "username": Trendit3_user.username,
                    },
                }
                
                
                auth_headers ={
                    "Authorization": "Bearer {}".format(Config.FLUTTER_SECRET_KEY),
                    "Content-Type": "application/json"
                }
                
                # Initialize the transaction
                response = requests.post(Config.FLUTTER_INITIALIZE_URL, headers=auth_headers, data=json.dumps(payload))
                response_data = response.json()

However, the response sent to my webhook doesn’t include the meta field.

Hi @Emmanuel_Esho

Thank you for sharing this experience,

Please kindly note that enabling the meta object to be appended in your Webhooks response will result in a breaking change, as subsequent Webhooks sent for Card charge will take this format/structure. Here is an example Webhooks response with the appended meta information. Kindly confirm if you want us to go ahead and enable this preference on both Live and Test mode.
