Hi 👋

I know the terminology can be confusing but for Stripe the Coupon is the record for the account. If you want to provide something a Customer can use you can create Promotion Codes from the Coupon records

https://stripe.com/docs/api/promotion_codes

sorry I'm still confused.......

so when i create a coupon it generates a coupon code. in order for a customer to use that coupon he/she needs to input the coupon code. I want to know if we can input the coupon for them, so he/she can select the coupon that are already registered

Okay so what I mean here is this:

• To create a discount that can be applied you create the Coupon - https://stripe.com/docs/api/coupons/create
• In order to create something a Customer can use you create a Promotion Code from the Coupon - https://stripe.com/docs/api/promotion_codes/create
• The Customer uses the code parameter from the Promotion Code record to indicate applying a discount in the front-end.

ok then....um can I also give coupon to selected customers only?

1. You don't give coupons to customers, you give Promotion Codes to customers.

2. No you can make coupons as general purpose as you want. When creating the Promotion Code the only field that is required is the coupon. Although I would recommend providing a simple code like 10PERCENT or FALL20

Here is what we are trying to do here, please let me know what you think. We'd like to run a promotion for a week long . When customer makes qualifying purchases within the promotion period they get discounts on their future purchase. In order to give discount, I was exploring coupons and promotion coupons. coupons - does not fit the description because eligible customer list cannot be set. promotion coupons - seems more fit because it can be distributed only to those who are qualified BUT cannot be applied by us. the code must be input by customer

at this moment I think we are to choose promotion coupon But i still wish there is a way to push the coupon into customer's account by us

Hi again. I'm stepping as snufkin had to step away. Yes, promotion codes is what would work best here for per customer applicability.
