Not sure I understand the use case, can you elaborate some more?
Specifically 'begins its expiry period' – not sure what that means

Sure. We will be sending the coupon to someone but we want them to use it in lets say 14 days from the moment he/she recieves it.
But we are sending these coupons on a daily basis so it can not be a fixed date.

I think you'd use the redeem_by field when you create the Coupon: https://stripe.com/docs/api/coupons/create#create_coupon-redeem_by

By the way thank you for helping me with this. 🙂 Appreciate it.
raw heron
You can't unfortunately make that date dynamic
I guess your integration would create the coupon with a now + 14 days timestamp in the redeem_by field when it's sent out
lament summit
And is it possible to create a coupon which would be created everytime that its sent out? The coupon would be the same but the redeem_by date is changing everytime someone uses the coupon.
raw heron
Sure, there's no limit on the # of coupons you can create
It's an implementation detail of how you send the coupons out. I guess an email service that creates the coupon(s) programatically and emails them to your customers

So let´s say that this could by possible if we are using Hubspot for our B2C communication?
raw heron
I've no idea how HubSpot works. But I guess if they have functionality that allows you to call our API, sure!
lament summit
So if we would use the API during the email (coupon) generation itself - then it could be "dynamic" when sent out?
raw heron
Yes I guess you could have something that triggers an email to a customer and part of that flow calls the Stripe API to generate a Coupon for them with a redeem_by date set 14 days in future and then include that coupon in the email
As I said, that's an implementation detail of your app and whatever other APIs/services you're using. But as long as you can make API calls to us it should work!

Okay. 🙂 Thank you very much for your help, ynnoj. Hope that you have great rest of the day!
raw heron
