Hey, you can add promotion code to subscription and it would apply to invoices generated from that Sub.

#

Or you can try adding promotion code to a customer when creating Invoice for them

#

Subscription didn't fit for us as we don't have recurring payments. We have to collect one time payment.

I'm getting above error while appliying promo code.

It expects the Coupon Id, not promotion code

#

Can you suggest any stripe api that support promo code for one-time payment other then Stripe checkout?

#

That doesn't really make sense, since Promotion Code is for customer to enter into some UI, but you are creating InvoiceItem inside your system

north ginkgo Sep 22, 2022, 7:05 AM

#

User can enter promo code in UI,
Backend server receive promo code via API from frontend
Backend server inform Stripe to collect X amount and apply a promo code

#

🤔

#

At step 1 do you own that UI?

north ginkgo Sep 22, 2022, 7:08 AM

#

Yes

#

I see. I am afraid Stripe's promotion code is built for Stripe provided UI, such as Checkout or Customer Portal. If you want promotion code on your own UI, you would need to implement and simulate it by a Stripe Coupon under the hood

#

then you can apply a Stripe Coupon to an Invoice Item like above

#

oh my goodness

#

Does this have in Stripe roadmap?

#

Taking over here. What exactly are you referring to? Coupon support on Payment Intents?

north ginkgo Sep 22, 2022, 8:43 AM

#

Hi 👋 , We will have to collect one-time payment from our own UI and support to add promo code (specific customer)

#

AFAIK, that's not something that we're planning on working on

#

You'd need to handle promotion/coupon discounts yourself and calculate the amount value of the Payment Intent to reflect that

#

Which Stripe API is advisable when we've to collect one-time payment immediately?

Charge API
Invoice API (Create Inovice, Add Invoice Item , Pay)
Payment Intent

south umbra Sep 22, 2022, 8:51 AM

#

Payment Intents or Invoicing, depending on your requirements (do you need an invoice?)

You should not use the Charges API directly, it's deprecated: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/charges-api

Card payments on the Charges API

Learn how to charge, save, and authenticate cards with Stripe's legacy APIs.
