Metadata or Database or both Storing Stripe Charges

Hi Everybody, I am in need to make a website that takes donations and need to correlate donation to various fields such as donation amount, individuals donating, charity name, addresses, messages etc. Then I need to pull these data on individual pages.

Is it a good idea to store these additional information in database or use metadata functionalities using stripe. Or its better to create separate table on database to track all the donations.

Please advise. Thanking in advance.

Using a service like Stripe is really save, of course you can still save the donations in a table in your database as long as you don't save the credit card stuff ;)
