What do you mean by 'accessible forever'?
If you want to restrict a coupon to a specific customer, you'll need to leverage promotion codes: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/coupons#promotion-codes

well, so the coupon does not expire, but only works 1 time/customer. but now 1 customer used it & it expired for everyone after that. I want it to be open for all customers but only once.. should i do a promo code instead?
real laurel
Yes, if you want to restrict usage on a per customer basis you'd create a promotion code that implements the coupon
dire stream
sorry for my trouble, but did try that too.. chose "limit to 1 time" for the codes under coupons, but same here, the whole code expired for everyone after 1 customer used it.. i have to choose "limit to first purchase" you think? (sorry i may misunderstand because english is not my mother language) 🙂
real laurel
Can you explain a scenario if which you want to coupon/promotion code to work?
dire stream
so I got this offer I want the 50% off to work any time the customer wants to use it, but only 1 time. (not neccessarily the first purchase)
real laurel
Then you'll likely need to create multiple promotion codes (1 per customer), where its restricted to only be used by them and only once
dire stream
but if i dont know my customers yet?
so best choice is to make it work only for FIRST time purchase?
real laurel
but if i dont know my customers yet?
So there's no cus_xxx object?
dire stream
what is that? API-settings? i didnt learn that yet....
there is options of limiting times of use & dates

but did try that too.. chose "limit to 1 time" for the codes under coupons, but same here, the whole code expired for everyone after 1 customer used it
Yes, this will happen with just a coupon. If you restrict it to 1 redemption, then once it is redeemed by anybody then it won't work for anyone else
To do what you want to do (restrict a coupon/code to a specific user for 1 time usage, but by available to all customers) you need to leverage promotion codes and they will require a Stripe Customer object for what you want to do

what do yuo mean with Stripe Customer object ??
