Hi there, do you have the invoice ID?
lone wagon
Ok, so you are using the upcoming invoice API.
Hi! Can you share the request ID (req_xxx)? Here's how you can find it: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

Ok.
I want to give Buy 2 Months Get 1 Month Free. How can I do it on subscription plans?
mint lotus
Does the customer pay 2 months in advance?
wooden jolt
1 month advance and then rest of 2 months free
Plan Price: $100
I want to give a discount for 1 month free if user pay the amount of two months in-front.
mint lotus
Sorry, I'm a bit confused here. "1 month advance and then rest of 2 months free" and "I want to give a discount for 1 month free if user pay the amount of two months in-front" contradicts with one another.
Are they two scenarios here?
wooden jolt
No. only one scenario.

One way I can think of is that you apply 100% off coupon in the next invoice. When invoice.created event is sent for next cycle which the invoice is still in draft state, you apply the coupon to the invoice, so that user doesn't have to pay.

Can I know what is the proper way to do like this?
mint lotus
The above suggestion will work. Do you have any concern with it?

Without adding in invoice, Can we do it in subscription itself?
mint lotus
One way I can think of is to use Subscription Schedule API where you schedule the next cycle to run with trial/free
The steps will be:
- Create the Subscription Schedule on existing subscription: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases#existing-subscription
- Update Subscription Schedule created in Step 1 where the first phase is current phase (don't change anything), and second phase with
iteration: 1will be the one set withtrial: true: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_schedules/update
wooden jolt
OK. Thanks
How to deduct the amount of two months in a single shot while creating a new subscription?
mint lotus
You can have price with quantity of 2. In the Subscription Schedule, the quantity in the second phase can be reduced to 1. You can have iteration set to 2 that no payment will be made for the next two cycles. For example,
- First phase: $100 * 2 = $200 (First month)
- Second Phase: Trial for 2 months (Second and third month - no payment collection)

Ok. Thanks
