Hello! Starting up a thread for you

#

I don't believe there's a great way to do this - is there any way for you to use a one-time price with an exisiting product instead of a one-time product?

#

the problem is that depending on the quantity the price decreases, I don't see any way to do this using a one-time price

#

just using a subscription it seems to be possible

#

currect me if I'm wrong 😄

#

Basically I would need Volume Pricing I guess

Can you clarify "depending on the quantity the price decreases"

grizzled canopy Oct 19, 2022, 9:42 PM

#

so for example if a customer wants to purchase 5 units of a product it would cost 10€ per unit. If he wants to buy 20 units the price decreases to 8€

#

per unit

#

I guess this would be the 'Volume Pricing' option

#

but as far as I can see it's only possible with a subscription

Gotcha - yeah tiered pricing is only doable with recurring prices. How are you correcting for this with one-time products though?

#

I'm using a one-time product along with a one-time price, the price in cents per unit is declared in our database

                    metadata=metadata
                )

#

this is the code for creating the session, it might be easier to understand than describing it 😄

#

Are you working with a set number of variants? You could create a Product for each variant and pass those in as product instead of setting product_data

grizzled canopy Oct 19, 2022, 9:52 PM

#

that's actually an amazing idea

#

I will try it and let you know

#

but it should work I guess

golden prairie Oct 19, 2022, 9:53 PM

#

👍 that'll allow you to configure coupons to only work with certain products and should get you what you want

grizzled canopy Oct 19, 2022, 9:56 PM

#

is there a way to do this while still setting a custom product name like above?

#

I mean this part: "name": f"{amount} x {selected_variant_info['variantName']}",

#

Okay never mind it's not possible

#

but still this should be a good workaround for my problem thanks 🙂

golden prairie Oct 19, 2022, 10:00 PM

#

Yeah you lose the ability to customize the name

grizzled canopy Oct 19, 2022, 10:01 PM

#

Okay well that's not a big deal, thank you so much for your help. You saved me a lot of work 🙂
