Are you using Checkout?
Also subscriptions or one-time?
But yeah you should be able to

really, so i don't need to defined a fixed price on the coupon, i can have one coupon that let me set the price upon adding it to the invoice?
this will be any invoice or first invoice of a new subscription in our back end
or do we need to create new coupon with new price each time, i.e. we will end up seeing a LOT of coupons in stripe
which we don't want

the create api of coupon needs $ or %, so we cannot reuse the same coupon, it means we can create each time but again a lot of coupon in stripe due to this as the amount can be anything

You can reuse a coupon unlimited times unless you specify this param https://stripe.com/docs/api/coupons/create#create_coupon-max_redemptions

Oh so the amount you're discounting will be different each time?
Why not discount a percent?
gray axle
yes
gray axle
it's just some loyalty $ that the customer earn over time
using it on next invoice
so could be $5 for one and $2.05 for another customer but like to reuse the same coupon in stripe

Well if the amount is highly variable like that you can't really avoid creating a bunch of different coupon codes
You could look into using negative invoice items instead: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoiceitems/create#create_invoiceitem-amount
It's another way to discount an invoice
