hi! that would be expected since you're not using the PromoCode in the API, you're just passing a coupon to an invoice. The PromoCode counter would be updated when it's actually used, for example when it's entered successfully into the input box in our Checkout hosted page. I don't think you can increment it yourself.

thanks for the quick response!

#

yeah it makes sense, the invoice is not aware of the promotion code at any point

#

is it possible to apply the promotion code rather than the coupon?

#

or is that restricted just for the Checkout hosted page?

#

the latter as far as I know, that's really what they're aimed at for the moment, being used on our hosted pages like that. If you have a direct integration then you have to apply the coupon directly and it wouldn't really be connected with out concept of PromoCodes

#

it definitely makes sense and I know we had plans at some point to let you pass a PromoCode into the Subscription/Invoice APIs directly but I don't think it's been prioritised

#

ah damn, I'll probably go ahead and implement that using the meta properties

#

I think the whole separation between the hosted pages and SDK is a bit blurred. For instance, nowhere in the docs it's pointed out that the promotion codes can't be used in a custom implementation. I found it a bit confusing, but that might be just me
