Hi there!
How are you creating the Subscriptions? With Checkout Session, the Subscription endpoint, something else?
proud frost
i am creating the subscription using:
stripe.subscriptions.create
Then you can use coupon to achieve what you want: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create?lang=node#create_subscription-coupon
proud frost
awesome! thank you!
dapper herald

i had a follow up question on a previous thread of mine. it is locked is it okay if i ask it here?
dapper herald
Sure, ask it here!
proud frost
for context this was my previous message:
hello, i am having trouble understanding how to create a subscription that is charged quarterly, but renews on a yearly basis. I don't know if that is possible.
for example userA purchases a quarterly subscription. I am currently creating that price like this:
const price = await stripe.prices.create({
unit_amount: 12000, // $120 every quarter
currency: 'usd',
recurring: { interval: 'month', interval_count: 3 },
product: stripeProductId
})
i sort of led with that was the way i was creating a quarterly subscription price, but wanted to make sure if there wasn't a way to create a yearly price that was billed quarterly?
it would simplify the cancellation process 😅
dapper herald
I don't understand what it would mean for the quarterly Subscription to renew on a yearly basis.
If customer pays quarterly, then the Subscription will automatically renew every quarter.
If the customer pays yearely, then the Subscription will renew every year.
proud frost
ah ok. i just wanted to make sure there wasn't another way of doing that. for example when you purchase a phone plan the contract is for a year, but they charge you every month
dapper herald
No that's not possible. The Subscription automatically renews when the billing cycle ends. And then it's up to you how/when the customer can cancel their subscription.
