also not sure if this makes a differnce but i was planning on handing out promo codes attached to the coupon instead of the coupon code itself

If you have annual price and would like to have discount for the first 4 months, only flat rate coupon will be possible.
Alternatively, you can have monthly price and provide discount for the first 4 months, then remove it afterwards.

Promotion code supports more configurations: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/coupons#promotion-codes

i plan on having both monthly and annual subscription options.
i looked through that link and it doesnt seem like promo codes provide any additional configurations that would help with this situation

Promotion code doesn't help with such a scenario. The best approach will be applying flat rate discount for 4 months with 20% off on annual price

thats what i thought. so i would have to seperate the monthly and annial subscriptions into two different products. unless theres a way to create two different behaviors depending on the pricing model for a coupon?
wet mauve
Since annual price is a fixed amount, it doesn't know how each month is distributed, so only flat amount coupon can be used

alright, so I would need to seperate my monthly and annual subscription into two different products

It will be up to your business decision how you would like to manage it - annual price with flat amount coupon or monthly price with percentage coupon and remove it afterwards

this isnt really a business decision. its more of a design question, of how would i have one promo code reduce the customers payment by the correct amount regardless of what billing period they choose.
i wouldnt want the customer receiving more of a discount on the plan then they should receive.
You can limit the coupons to only work on one product so my inital thought was to create two different products for each billing model, and create a different coupon for each product.
You can set your own promo code and I could do some filtering on my backend to retrieve the correct coupon based on the billing plan, but i wanted to confirm that there wasnt a correct way to go about doing this.
If you cant provide any more insight i guess ill go with my original plan.

I see! Thanks for sharing the insights and detailed information.
I'm afraid there isn't other way to do on coupon or promotion code for the scenario you described except for having the flat amount coupon. And yes, it will be two different products to limit the coupon that can be applied to. Your original plan sounds good.

alright thanks for the confirmation river!
