Using [ in ticket names created with Camptix causes an error with the Stripe API.

[hideokamoto]

Describe the bug

When using Stripe payment for ticket purchases in Camptix, if the ticket name contains [, an error occurs in the Stripe API response. This is because the Stripe API specification interprets the string inside [] as an object key. To resolve this issue, the clean_metadata function needs to replace [] with another character like ().

To reproduce

• Create a new ticket and include the [ string, e.g., 6/2 – Micro Sponsor [ 10USD ]
• Enable Camptix Stripe Payment (it's okay to use sandbox mode)
• Try to order this ticket from the Ticket page
• You will encounter an error when creating a new Stripe Checkout Session

Expected behavior

The ticket name needs to be included in the metadata of the Stripe Payment Intent object when creating Stripe Checkout Sessions API.
e.g.: $args['payment_intent_data']['metadata']['6/2 [Sponsor ticket]'] = '1';

**Expected Behavior
The ticket name needs to be included in the metadata of the Stripe Payment Intent object when creating Stripe Checkout Sessions API.
e.g.: $args['payment_intent_data']['metadata']['6/2 [Sponsor ticket]'] = '1';

Actual Behavior**

Due to the Stripe API specification, a text inside the [] will be converted to an object key like the following:

$args['payment_intent_data']['metadata']['6/2 [Sponsor ticket]'] = '1';
->
{
  "metadata": {
    "6/2": {
      "Sponsor ticket": "1"
    }
  }
}

Suggestion
In the clean_metadata function, we may need to replace the [] string with another character like () instead.

$key = $this->trim_string( $key, 40, '' );
$key = str_replace( '[', '(', str_replace( ']', ')', $key ) );

When we avoid passing the [] string as the key of the metadata, the Stripe API request will work correctly.

This idea seems reasonable, and if you approve, I'll proceed with creating a new pull request for this.

I think this is something that needs to be raised with Stripe, as to whether it's a bug on their platform, as using square brackets in their UI also results in a.. less than expected, unexpected request error.

I've raised a support ticket with them, as [] are not documented as being invalid in the field.
