Can you share the ID (req_xxx) of the failing API request? https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

[proud coral]

The request didn't fail.
I did all the actions via the Dashboard

Shall I share the coupon ID?

[hot stream]

Yeah I mean the ID of the request where it didn't work as expected

[proud coral]

Sure

Coupon ID - 3mUfK38r
Payment ID - pi_3Ng0t3JIX39BcHBW0kaxBsdq

The coupon dashboard shows that this is redeemed whereas it is not reflecting anywhere in the payments dashboard

[hot stream]

There was no discount applied to the Invoice/Subscription: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/invoices/in_1Ng0t3JIX39BcHBWsSNKKDWT

What is your expectation here?

[proud coral]

But if you see the dashboard for coupon , it shows redeemed
https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/coupons/3mUfK38r

My expectation is this coupon should be applied to the product that I have limited it to but still it shows redeemed

[hot stream]

That's not how that works unfortunately. Although we won't apply a discount, it will still be redeemed

[proud coral]

Okay, got it

This means the coupon is wasted, right?

Is there some way we can throw error to the user at the time of applying the coupon?
Something like "You can't use this coupon on this product"

Also, I am seeing things like
myProduct for 15$ and unNamed customer (Created by Stripe CLI)
I am not creating these. Is this something Stripe is doing through some API?

For reference, this is one of the customer id - cus_OSx25RmlNo3bEN and this is the product id - prod_OSx2TJLAPyLRIy

You'd need to check the validity of it yourself. This is where Promotion Codes are better to use in this instance

[hot stream]

If you're using stripe trigger in the CLI then the fixtures for each event will create the necessary objects. I'd guess this is related

[proud coral]

1. Is there a difference between promotion code and coupon? If I use Promotion Code, will that achieve my objective?
2. I haven't setup stripe trigger, how can check for it?

They're meant to be user facing: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/coupons#promotion-codes
