Changing Stripe param keys for mass assignment in Rails

I'm integrating Stripe into a Rails app. Right now Stripe Checkout returns a params hash with key-value pairs like:

"stripeShippingAddressZip"=>"80205"

and 

"stripeShippingAddressState"=>"CO"

I also have a method called order_params which calls params.permit to prevent mass assignment vulnerabilities.

I'd like to do the following:

current_user.orders.build(order_params)

Essentially mass assignment.

However, my orders model has attributes like shipping_zip rather than stripeShippingAddressZip.

How can I use the params hash and still do mass assignment given that the hash keys don't match the attributes of the model?

Is there are "Rails way" of doing this?

There are multiple ways you can do this, but I like to do the mapping like so:

def order_params
  {
    shipping_zip: params[:stripeShippingAddressZip],
    # more here
  }
end

After this you can just do:

Orders.create(order_params)

I hope this helps!
