Hi, can you confirm you're looking offer a coupon that does not have any restrictions?
snow lynx
yesss thats the purpose
timid dragon
and you're using PaymentLinks?
snow lynx
now only using stripe api and frontend react
trying to add a non-restricted coupon as we sometimes won't have any product listed on web
timid dragon
Yeah, you can just create the coupon without passing any limitations on the products, https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/discounts#limit-eligible-products. Like you can omit this, https://docs.stripe.com/api/coupons/create#create_coupon-applies_to and just create the coupon: https://docs.stripe.com/api/coupons/create.
snow lynx
thanks! how can we have the coupon option appeared?
is there anything to do with our frontend react? just checked the current payment page won't have a placeholder to type in coupon
timid dragon
You'd want to pair that with the Promotions API, https://docs.stripe.com/api/promotion_codes/create and then build your own UI to add that input for your end customers to add the promotion code.
snow lynx
so... will the first step be connected to Promotion API and parse the created coupon to stripe api, finaly build UI?
timid dragon
First, build the UI and create the coupon. Then, use that coupon ID to create the promotion ID, https://docs.stripe.com/api/promotion_codes/create#create_promotion_code-coupon.
snow lynx
okk, build UI within Stripe API， then create coupon, use the coupon ID to create promotion ID, and store everything into promotion API?
timid dragon
No, you need to build that UI on your end. There is no Stripe.js to handle this.
Can you clarity what you mean by 'store everything into promotion API'?
What are you trying to store?
snow lynx
got that will build UI on our end using Stripe.js
timid dragon
There is no Stripe.js to build this coupon UI.
You will handle this entirely on your own
snow lynx
What are you trying to store?
not clear about the relationship between coupon and promotion API
snow lynx
You will handle this entirely on your own
ohhh ignored the no
timid dragon
Coupon is the object ID that you would reference, and offer the discount on. Promotions is the user facing piece, that is all. It is tied to the coupon.
By creating a Promotion ID, you're just creating a user facing code to share with them like 'welcome10' and then the coupon object would be G6YHY7 for instance.
I highly recommend that you try it our on your end in test mode
snow lynx
thank you for the help
