Hi there

wary grotto Oct 25, 2022, 5:43 PM

#

Hi. Using PHP BTW

#

Don't believe we support negative line items for Checkout

#

Double checking but pretty sure that is the case

#

You would need to use a coupon

wary grotto Oct 25, 2022, 5:43 PM

#

Yeah, I've already tried that, and it didn't like the negative.

#

Can I create a coupon or "promotion" on the fly? Because as I said, every amount will be different. Unless I can mass create 15,000 promotions in increments of a penny. Think of airline frequent flier mileage being credited

#

There are no limits to the amount of promo codes/coupons so yeah you can create as many as needed as long as you don't hit rate limits.

#

Sounds like you want to just create one right before redirecting to Checkout

wary grotto Oct 25, 2022, 5:47 PM

#

That would be ideal. I can do that programmically? Obviously going onto the Stripe site to create one wouldn't work.

#

Yep you can do it via the API. You create a Coupon like is shown here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/coupons/create. Then pass it to discounts when creating your Checkout Session: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-discounts-coupon

#

Great. Not sure how I missed that. All I saw was that you needed to create it on the dashboard. But yeah, this looks simple. I wonder though if I ttr to set a coupon for say $12.25, and then I try and set another one for the same amount a month later if I'll have issues. But I'll check it out. Thanks again.

#

Are you using Subscriptions?

wary grotto Oct 25, 2022, 5:58 PM

#

No just simple checkouts. Online store.

indigo depot Oct 25, 2022, 5:59 PM

#

But you charge that saved card later on then it sounds like?

#

Or are you just talking about re-using coupons

#

Wasn't exactly clear what you meant above, but mostly just let me know if I can help any further 🙂

wary grotto Oct 25, 2022, 6:02 PM

#

No, one time charge upon entry and done. I don't think I'll ever re-use a coupon. Will just create an "amount_off" based on the customer's credit amount and do that every time someone orders something. It will always be a different amount. If that makes sense. Trying it out now.

indigo depot Oct 25, 2022, 6:03 PM

#

Yep that makes sense and should work fine

wary grotto Oct 25, 2022, 6:04 PM

Thank you again
