Hi there!

[serene hemlock]

Hey soma!

[livid ivy]

Yes that's possible. The two main options here:

1. Create a 30€ monthly subscription, but add a 5€ coupon for the first month.

2. Use subscriptions schedules https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules

[serene hemlock]

can I use this with my current plan?

What do you mean?

Yes subscription schedule are available to evey account.

[serene hemlock]

ah, I am just a bit confused by the "scale plan"

[livid ivy]

You need to use the API to create the schedule. If you use the dashboard, yes you need a special plan.

[serene hemlock]

so in dashboard I need a plan, via api not?

[livid ivy]

Correct

[serene hemlock]

ok lol. Thats the right reference, isn't it?

https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_schedules/object#subscription_schedule_object-id

[livid ivy]

Yes. But why aren't you using my other solution with the promotion code which is much simpler?

[serene hemlock]

I don't know how to apply the promotion code only once. Thought about using a paymentlink and do it with a predefined promotion code, but than the subscription is every month discounted... 🤔

[livid ivy]

How do you currently create the subscription? Payment Link, Checkout Session, Subscription endpoint?

[serene hemlock]

currently not at all. Thinking about an integration in my website to get another product for my customers

[livid ivy]

Got it. Well all integration support passing a one time promo code, except Payment Link.
For example for a Checkout Session: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-discounts
And how to create a coupon: https://stripe.com/docs/api/coupons/create

Let me check this...
