Hi there!

It's here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/object?lang=dotnet#checkout_session_object-total_details-breakdown-discounts

Note that you'll have to use expand: ["total_details.breakdown"] in order to view that field

If you are not familiar with expand, you can learn more about it here: https://stripe.com/docs/expand

How to get an applied promo code name?

[still moon]

you would loop through the discounts in the breakdown property, and each one has a promo code (https://stripe.com/docs/api/discounts/object#discount_object-promotion_code) and then you can retrieve that object and investigate it(https://stripe.com/docs/api/promotion_codes/object)

I am listening to checkout.session.completed event , Just to get promotion code, I've to call two APIs, First get checkout session and then prmotion code?

[still moon]

yep it can be several API calls to get this information

note you can pass expand=>["total_details.breakdown.discounts.discount"] to skip at least one call for retrieving the Discount

Thanks, let me try

Hey, I passed the parameter expand=>["total_details.breakdown.discounts.discount"] in get checkout session api, but still it's not returning applied promo code.

[still moon]

what does it return instead?

[stray estuary]

Only the promo code id is there.

[still moon]

yep, which is normal

so now you can make a call to https://stripe.com/docs/api/promotion_codes/retrieve, passing that ID, to get the other information about it

[stray estuary]

Does that mean I've to make 2 API calls?

[still moon]

yep it can be several API calls to get this information

I am using stripe-hosted checkout to complete the payment flow. Also, using couple of stripe webhooks. Is there any workaround to get the payment details with applied promo code with minimum API calls?

[still moon]

what we're talking about in this thread is the way with minimum API calls, we're already answering your question

you have to make some extra API calls when handling the checkout.session.completed event to get every single detail about the payment especially when it has some extra complexity like applied discounts; it's just how this is designed. It's no big deal to make some API calls.

[stray estuary]

Okay, got it.
