Hey @drowsy gorge you want https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-discounts-promotion_code
drowsy gorge
Hmm, that's what I thought. For some reason I get a "No such promotion code" error when I do this.
rich siren
you need to pass the promo_123 not the customer-facing code
drowsy gorge
Ah, so how do I get from the customer-facing code to the ID, then?
Is a separate API call needed?
rich siren
in theory you have it in your own database really
Where do you get that code value from exactly?
drowsy gorge
From a form field in my checkout page.
Well, the page before the Stripe Checkout screen
The page where the user picks quantities and tiers etc.
rich siren
Gotcha. It's quite uncommon to rebuild your own "enter this code you could enter on Checkout" usually you do that on Checkout, or you don't use PromotionCodes and you have your own coupon code logic
but otherwise you can use https://stripe.com/docs/api/promotion_codes/list#list_promotion_code-code
drowsy gorge
OK, uncommon in the sense that it has potential security issues, or just uncommon because developers typically defer this to the Stripe Checkout page?
rich siren
the latter
