When you're attempting to give the discount, has the invoice already been finalized at that point?

You're options are a bit more limited if it's already been finalized, but I think you should still be able to get around it by creating a credit note

[hexed tapir]

yeah, the invoice already finalized since user paid subscription upfront for us.

how to create credit note?

will credit note auto refund for user? or i need to handle it as extra step

one more question, how can we check if the invoice is finalized?

And yes, a credit note will automatically generate a refund if you use it correctly

You can check that the invoice is finalized by checking it's status. If it's not a draft then it's been finalized (https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-status)

thanks

will work on this direction

and do you know how to add coupon for the next billing cycle - when user renews the subcription through API

[halcyon spindle]

You can just update the Subscription and provide the coupon (https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-coupon) - that should automatically apply it to the next billing cycle
