Hi there, you can specify a customer (https://stripe.com/docs/api/promotion_codes/create?lang=ruby#create_promotion_code-customer) when creating a promo code, so that only this customer can use this promo code.

ohh

so i can email all existing customers with a coupon code

and if a random dude finds the code

it won't work for his email?

also i'm not using prebuilt checkout, i'm using payment intent and elements

[umbral oracle]

To be exact, only merchant can use coupon, for customers it's promo code

[amber violet]

yes

lol

😂

[umbral oracle]

PaymentElement doesn't accept promo code I'm afraid.

[amber violet]

😮

it's payment intent to be exact

[umbral oracle]

OK. So you want to apply an discount on existing subscriptions am I right?

[amber violet]

yes - and old users who were subscribed but cancelled.

so

[e-mail] was a user from 2017 to 2019

his email is still in stripe customer list

i want when jack to decide to come back, he has 20% off by default

if his email is still in the stripe customer list, the customer-specific coupon thing is still possible?

[umbral oracle]

OK. here's my suggesion

For old customers, you can just create a coupon for 20% and apply the discount programmatically through API.

For new customers, you can also use the same coupon and apply it when creating a subscription (https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create?lang=ruby#create_subscription-coupon) so that they can enjoy the discount upon checkout.
