What are 'children' and 'organisation' in this context?
I suspect this is something you'll need to account for and track yourself in your own logic
We can't automatically apply discounts to other Subscriptions, you'd need to apply the coupon when creating it according to your organisation/children logic

I am creating a Saas, so organisation is the entity created by the user and he can adds a new member, every time.
loud smelt
And they each have their own unique Subscription?
cyan inlet
Each organization has its subscription and after that, I am updating the quantity of the subscription. (as far I understood)
const subscription = await stripe.subscriptions.retrieve(subscriptionId);
// As we add only 1 line item during the subscription creation
// we can safely select the first in the array
//
// NB: if you customize the line items, you have to find a different way
// to select the correct line item!
const lineItem = subscription.items.data[0];
if (!lineItem) {
throw new Error(
`Subscription with ID ${subscriptionId} has no line items?`
);
}
const currentQuantity = lineItem.quantity ?? 0;
const quantity = currentQuantity + 1;
console.log({ quantity, currentQuantity, lineItem })
return stripe.subscriptionItems.update(lineItem.id, {
quantity,
});
My knowledge of Stripe is really limited, so if I am skipping something simple, sorry about that.
loud smelt
Ok, and you want to apply the coupon during this quantity update?
Not at all, just trying to understand what it is you're doing and whether we can support it!
Do you have a sub_xxx ID I can look at?
Or can you describe what happens to the discount/coupon on the Subscription when you increase the quantity of the item?
cyan inlet
I can send you the sub. but where can I get this?
What is happening now is that, the discount is not being applied to the new members.
The sub id I get it, sorry, I just noticed what you asked for
loud smelt
From the Dashboard, or in the response of your API calls
cyan inlet
sub_1MrRk3HZABaXHq0Tx9K8x7E9
In 10 minutes I will need to get a train but I will be back in 40 min +-.
I just sent you the checkout with the discount applied and then the quantities that were added to the subscription
loud smelt
Yeah your update call:
return stripe.subscriptionItems.update(lineItem.id, {
quantity,
});
is unsetting the existing discount/coupon
You need to use this endpoint instead: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update
cyan inlet
But from the typescript, does not exist this field (info)
loud smelt
And you can re-apply the coupon in that API call
cyan inlet
Ok
This is one demo response from Stripe.

I would like to know if the discount and quantity are the only 2 fields that I will need to pass
Or do you see any other valid information here?
loud smelt
Well depends what it you're wanting to update exactly
cyan inlet
I need to increase +1 user and re-apply the coupon if was added before.
Apart from that I believe Stripe will take care of the price and the rest of the valid information.
loud smelt
Then yep, you'll just need to do:
stripe.subscription.update('sub_xxx', {
items: [{ id: item[0].id, quantity: '8' }],
coupon: 'abc'
});
