Hi 👋

Can you share a request ID or Checkout Session ID where you are creating a Checkout Session with a discount?

#

Unfortonately, I haven't created a Checkout Session yet. I'm still in early stages of development and am trying to understand how discounts will work when I attach a discount to a Checkout Session.

#

I see that discounts can be applied to Customers, Subscriptions, and Subscription Items and am confused which of those the discount/coupon will be applied to when I create a checkout Session object when using https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-discounts

I'm still in early stages of development and am trying to understand how discounts will work when I attach a discount t a Checkout Session.
Honestly the easiest way to do this is to create some Checkout Sessions in test mode. There are plenty of nuances to how Checkout applies the settings in different scenarios and the fastest way to really understand it is to test it directly

#

Do you have a Stripe account?

royal hedge Apr 29, 2024, 4:22 PM

#

Yes, I have a Stripe account.
OK, I'll play around w/ creating checkout sessions then.

#

I assume I'll figure out Question 1 w/ a bit of playing around w/ a test account
For question 2 - do you have any articles you can point me to that will direct me on how to specifyin which of the three options (i.e., Customer, the Subscription, or each of the Subscription Items) to attach to the discount to when creating Checkout Session object in subscription mode?

#

Currently we do not have a feature in Checkout that will allow you to specify. I am 90% certain the discount will be applied to the Subscription.

#

I can request those features to be added though.

#

OK, thanks!
Attaching to the subscription only may be good enough if I can set up the coupon to not apply to the one-time installation/deployment fee that we'll be charging customers.

#

You can configure that when you define your Coupons (how often they should apply) using the duration property: https://docs.stripe.com/api/coupons/create#create_coupon-duration

royal hedge Apr 29, 2024, 4:28 PM

#

OK, thanks!
I'll take a look at that and play w/ checkout sessions in test mode.
Thanks!
