hello! that's not possible without using a Checkout Session.

[vast glacier]

is there any other workaround for this?

[rustic stirrup]

depends on what you mean by workaround - for example, you could implement your own logic to create a coupon, calculate the total to charge, and simply use Stripe to collect the final amount

[vast glacier]

i also want this applied coupon to reflect in stripe invoices

can I use subscriptions to work like one time payment?

[rustic stirrup]

ah okay, now that you mentioned invoices, you can also use one-off invoices

[vast glacier]

we currently have subscription on our platform for which we use payment elements, I want to reuse this for one time payments

one off invoices would be sent to customers & then they 'll pay through hosted invoice page. is that correct?

[rustic stirrup]

you can send the invoice to the customer. I think you should be able to load the invoice's underlying PaymentIntent using the Payment Element also, but you'll need to test it out since I don't recall if it's possible off the top of my head right now

[vast glacier]

okay thanks, I'll test it out. also here will invoice's underlying paymentIntent support coupon?

[rustic stirrup]

you can pass in the coupon when creating the Invoice : https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/create#create_invoice-discounts

the underlying PaymentIntent will reflect the amount after accounting for the coupon

[vast glacier]

got it

[vast glacier]

also anything around this? can this be done?

[rustic stirrup]

no, Subscriptions are recurring payments. They're not meant for one off payments.

Also, is there a reason why you don't want to use Checkout Sessions for one off payments?

[vast glacier]

because of this & some additional customization requirements

[vast glacier]

how will ACH work in this case?

[rustic stirrup]

i suggest you try it out

[vast glacier]

I don't want to send invoice to customer to pay...I want to auto charge them & then send the paid invoice to them.

I tried creating an invoice and paymentIntent. I can't use unverified ACH account to charge customer

[rustic stirrup]

okay, what it sounds like is that you need to collect the PaymentMethod before hand and then charge the customer later. You can try taking a look at this guide : https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse

you would need to implement the logic for coupons on your own application, do the calculation, and determine the final amount to charge the customer

[vast glacier]

can't use stripe coupons then?

[crystal sleet]

In what context?

[vast glacier]

This

[vast glacier]

we currently have subscription on our platform for which we use payment elements, I want to reuse this for one time payments with stripe coupons

[crystal sleet]

Using Payment Intents directly?

[vast glacier]

Payment intents don't support coupons

I want to do one time payment with stripe coupons

[crystal sleet]

Then you can use an Invoice directly, or Stripe Checkout

[vast glacier]

I don't want to send invoice to customer to pay...I want to auto charge them & then send the paid invoice to them.

[crystal sleet]

Then use Checkout

Don't want to use checkout

[vast glacier]

Also this

[crystal sleet]

I'm not sure what else you want me to say. If you want to use a Coupon with a one-time payment then your only options are Checkout or Invoicing.

You can use Invoicing to automatically charge the customer, assuming you have a saved payment method for them

[vast glacier]

so this can be done

[crystal sleet]

I think so, but have you tried it?

[vast glacier]

trying

also, why payment intents don't support coupons?

thanks! I'll try that out and see

[crystal sleet]

They just don't unfortunately. We were working on an Orders API to enable this, but work on that has stopped

[vast glacier]

okay. so can't expect this to work in near future too 😦
