Stripe payments, cannot get payment amount from checkout

I'm using Stripe 'checkout' to collect payments. I have used this successfully on other sites but this particular use-case is slightly different from my normal flow and is causing me problems. My customer sometimes has a choice to pay deposit or full payment. I present two buttons in this case, one for each payment type e.g.

<form name="myform" action="paymentpage.php">
... other form stuff
    <!-- Deposit payment button Stripe -->
    <script
      src="https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.js" class="stripe-button"
      data-key="abcd"
      data-amount="10000"
      data-name="My company name"
      data-description="Deposit payment"
      data-image="https://stripe.com/img/documentation/checkout/marketplace.png"
      data-locale="auto"
      data-zip-code="true"
      data-currency="eur"
      data-label="Pay Deposit">
    </script>
    <!-- Full payment button Stripe -->
    <script
      src="https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.js" class="stripe-button"
      data-key="avcd"
      data-amount="{{ $stripeCostValue }}"
      data-name="My company name"
      data-description="Full payment"
      data-image="https://stripe.com/img/documentation/checkout/marketplace.png"
      data-locale="auto"
      data-zip-code="true"
      data-currency="eur"
      data-label="Pay in full">
    </script>

I want to use cURL to make the charge after the customer has done their bit e.g.

curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/charges \
   -u sk_liveabcd1234: \
   -d amount=1000 \
   -d currency=eur \
   -d description="Deposit payment" \
   -d source=tok_89797oioououo

The Laravel controller which receives the posted data has the following Stripe fields included by default:

"stripeToken" => "tok_89797oioououo"
"stripeTokenType" => "card"
"stripeEmail" => "[email protected]"

But I have no idea whether they paid a deposit, full payment, or the amount they paid. Is there a way I am supposed to know which button they pressed or is there a way to get more data from the Stripe payment? I can't figure it out. I can't include the amount or payment type as a hidden field because I don't know which payment button the customer will push.

Thanks in advance

The issue is that you put both buttons in the same form. Because of this you don't know which one is clicked.

The easiest solution is to simply have 2 separate buttons and forms. That way, in each form you can put a hidden field that lets you know which button was clicked as the value gets submitted with the form.

Another solution is to use Custom Checkout. This lets you have 2 separate buttons in your form and, in JS, add a handler to open Checkout on click. This also lets you easily track which button was clicked and then submit this information to your server once the token is created.
