Hello, we like to start new threads after a certain amount of time. Can you tell me about where that thread left off?
marsh stone
sure. Thats one of the last messages: #1115254862159040512 message
Can you see the thread? 🙂
vernal creek
Yep I can see it. Do you have a question about how to create these subscriptions? Or how to add a promotion code while doing so?
marsh stone
no. I integrated it now and my creation looks like this:
const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
success_url: 'https://o.....de/ichoose?status=succeed',
cancel_url: 'https://o.....de/ichoose?status=canceled',
line_items: [
{price: 'price_1NErxE...', quantity: 1},
],
discounts: [
{
promotion_code: "promo_1MxBU...",
},
],
payment_method_collection: "always",
mode: 'subscription',
});
But the promotion code is applied to every month, not just the first
vernal creek
Can you give me the full ID of the promo code? IDs are safe to share here, other users can't do anything with them unless they have your secret key
marsh stone
sure: promo_1MxBUOD4LgnRPd5tLW3fp5AK
vernal creek
It should only apply once if your coupon's duration is set to once
marsh stone
do you have my secret key? 🤔
vernal creek
I actually cannot access it. We redact it very well here!
marsh stone
oh, what else do you need from me?
vernal creek
It looks like you have that coupon's duration set to forever
Oh I can still look up info about your objects, I just meant that I cannot make API calls for you
marsh stone
yeah, because every new subscription should have it for the first month
marsh stone
Oh I can still look up info about your objects, I just meant that I cannot make ...
ah ok, got it
vernal creek
The duration actually means the duration for each subscription
So having a duration of once means that every subscription can only use it once
Wheras forever means every subscription can use it forever
You can limit uses overal but that is a different setting
marsh stone
Do I need to create everytime I create a new subscription a new coupon than?
vernal creek
Nope, you can reuse the coupon and promotion code
There is a separate setting for the amount of times a coupon can be used https://stripe.com/docs/api/coupons/object#coupon_object-max_redemptions
marsh stone
oh ok now I got the difference between these 😮
By the way I just tested it and it also works, thanks!
vernal creek
Nice!
