Hi 👋

So you are asking if you create a Subscription with a one-time coupon and a trial period, will the trial period consume the coupon or will it wait unitl the first billing period?

Have you tested this yourself?

[hollow vigil]

exactly that

I have only added a coupon to a trial subscription. And it looks like it will be applied on the trial subscription.. which doesn't really make sense, right?

[kind vigil]

Can you share the subscription ID?

[hollow vigil]

If it's a trial subscription, the coupon should be "queued" for a normal one

sure

thank you for reaching out so fast btw.

I see how the Coupons shows up as redeemed already, but the Discount assigned to the Subscription is showing as not applied.

[hollow vigil]

can you point out to me where should I look for that?

[kind vigil]

You will want to pull the Subscription from the API and look at the Discount property: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-discount

[hollow vigil]

alright, thanks.

To sum it up, you are saying that the discount won't be applied to the trial subscription, correct?
Instead, it will be applied to the next one (which should be normal subscription in our case)

ping ping

That is what I am gathering from the current state of the discount hash. You can also test Subscription behaviors in Test mode using Test Clocks https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks

These allow you to artifically advance time so you can see how subscriptions behave depending on how you configure them

thank you, you've been really helpful. Have a nice day!
