Hello there
Correct, PaymentIntents don't support promo codes nor coupons at the moment.
I can add a feature request for you to get this added but it simply isn't supported right now and I can't provide any sort of timeline where this would get built.
What you really want to do here is just create your own promo codes and manage them in your database
Then set the amount of the PaymentIntent accordingly when a promo code is used

Is there a way to create a one-time payment with stripe and apply a promo code so that the code usage is incremented ?
lucid wren
No not without using Stripe Checkout
dusty lance
can I do that by creating invoice before the payment intent ?
what I do not understand is why this works with subscriptions
Isn't there an API to increment "manually" when used ?
lucid wren
No there is not.
Like I said, if you want to use promo codes with one-time payments using PaymentIntents then you should handle this all in your own database and not within Stripe
You can have your own tracker in your database and increment it each time you use the promo code.
All you do within Stripe is set the correct amount to charge via the amount you set on the PaymentIntent
dusty lance
that I understand
My question is more, is there a way to make one-time payment and promo codes work together within Stripe ?
lucid wren
No, not unless you use Stripe Checkout.
dusty lance
ok then can we create vouchers so people can pay using this instead of there credit card ?
