Sorry about that - the wording in that doc could be a bit better. Those docs are specifically for inline prices, not for products.

Okay, now I understand. But in the documentation I couldn't find a way to do this:
I'd just like to create subscriptions by choosing a price, without linking it to a product. The management of products, promotions and invoices already exists on my website.

I've seen that there's a PaymentIntent feature to receive payments by executing code. But this one doesn't use your Subscription object and I'd really like to be able to take advantage of it for the automation it's able to do behind it, especially email reminders.

There's no way to use prices without linking it to a product - the way our API works means that any price you create has to be attached to a product

Ok so I guess the best way is to synchronize my products with your API in order to take advantage of the Subscription object.

Yeah, that would be your best optin

Thank you. And if I've synchronized my products in Stripe, I'll be able to create variable prices. This would allow me to keep coupon code management within my website. right?

#

You're asking whether you'll need to recreate those coupons in stripe?

deft coral May 31, 2023, 6:15 PM

#

Yes, I wonder about that. But I don't think so, since I could indicate the price I want. The final price could be calculated on my website.

#

But it's probably better that coupon codes are created in Stripe. I'll think about it in the future

velvet storm May 31, 2023, 6:17 PM

#

Yeah this'll depend on how you want to implement it - you could just create the already discounted price in Stripe and not have to create any coupons in Stripe. Or you could create the non-discounted prices in Stripe in addition to coupon codes that would be applied to subscriptions

Great! Thanks a lot for the help, it's really nice this Discord chat 😉
Have a nice day
