Yeah I understand your needs but unfortunately we can only limit to the Product Ids for now

#

Would making one Price per Product feasible for you?

halcyon fulcrum Oct 19, 2023, 12:37 AM

#

Ah darn what a shame thank you though. I was thinking of doing that or maybe just giving free trials instead idk.

#

It kind of stinks though because I have 1 subscription product which is basically the same thing but 2 different prices

#

But different intervals - year versus monthly subscription

#

Thank you though. I may come back in about 1-2 hours to ask something else but idk yet.

cobalt zealot Oct 19, 2023, 12:42 AM

#

Yes feel free to. I do agree it makes more sense to have one Product if that represents your business better. Going that path, you would need to control the Price Coupon can apply to from your end (like writing a conditional logic before applying coupon)

halcyon fulcrum Oct 19, 2023, 1:02 AM

#

Just thought of something: Can a user buy the cheaper monthly coupon promo code but then use it on the more expensive yearly price id subscription since it comes from the same product?

cobalt zealot Oct 19, 2023, 1:03 AM

#

Can they "buy" promo code? I thought promocode is something you give to them

halcyon fulcrum Oct 19, 2023, 1:04 AM

#

Yes that is right. They sort of buy the coupon and get a promo code created for that coupon that they can use like a gift card.

cobalt zealot Oct 19, 2023, 1:05 AM

#

Ah okie I see. Yeah that would work (test it!)

halcyon fulcrum Oct 19, 2023, 1:06 AM

#

Yea but I just worry if they buy the coupon for the same product id they can use the cheaper one on a more expensive subscription

cobalt zealot Oct 19, 2023, 1:07 AM

#

Yes that would be possible to them (test in on Test mode 😅) Like you gave them 20% off Coupon for a Product X, and it can be applied to both Price A monthly and Price B annual

halcyon fulcrum Oct 19, 2023, 1:07 AM

#

unless maybe I use metadata to specify which one the coupon is for - yearly or monthly.

#

Yes that's right I have to account for that scenario

cobalt zealot Oct 19, 2023, 1:08 AM

#

So you want to prevent them before applying

#

Yep

#

Store the Price Id in metadata, and matching them before applying

halcyon fulcrum Oct 19, 2023, 1:09 AM

#

I will give it a try. Thanks. Maybe I will talk to you later if something comes up lol.

halcyon fulcrum Oct 19, 2023, 1:27 AM

#

So when using stripe checkout with the coupon promo code with the metadata of which price id it is, how would I differentiate in checkout or throw an error or something if the user who receives the gift promo code tries using the wrong coupon promo code for the price id?

cobalt zealot Oct 19, 2023, 1:34 AM

#

Before creating the Checkout Session, you have the Price Id and the Coupon Id, right? Compare that Price Id and the metadata inside the Coupon

halcyon fulcrum Oct 19, 2023, 1:35 AM

#

ahh makes sense ty

#

But now I am wondering though and am confused. I have both the price id and coupon id from the stripe dashboard. Not every user will provide a coupon code in their checkout session. That would imply I have the user enter the promo code twice? Once before the checkout session and during the checkout session?

#

The user selects the monthly membership from a form though as of right now

cobalt zealot Oct 19, 2023, 1:57 AM

#

Coupon and Promotion code are 2 things. You can pre-select a Coupon when you create a CheckoutSession, and your customer can input a promotion code during the session. If you want to have full control, just use Coupon and disable Promotion Code

halcyon fulcrum Oct 19, 2023, 2:00 AM

#

Right that makes sense. I just don't know how to do the comparison before creating the checkout session

cobalt zealot Oct 19, 2023, 2:02 AM

#

Retrieve Coupon API, get its metadata's Price Id, then compare with the Price Id you are about to create the CheckoutSession

halcyon fulcrum Oct 19, 2023, 2:07 AM

#

coupon = stripe.Coupon.retrieve("Z4OV52SU")
coupon_price_id = coupon.metadata.price_id
if coupon_price_id = 'yearly price id':
stripe.checkout.Session.create(
success_url="https://example.com/success",
line_items=[
{
"price": 'yearly price id',
},
],
mode="payment",
)

#

I did not test this but something like this?

#

It just feels weird to me to do it that way

cobalt zealot Oct 19, 2023, 2:08 AM

#

Yeah, just play around in Test mode 🙂
