hi! can you say more about what you're trying to do/ what you understand "validate" to mean?

thin cliff Jun 17, 2024, 10:07 AM

#

promo code availability it's valid one or not..

#

i need to check through API promo code availability / validity

hollow nymph Jun 17, 2024, 10:08 AM

#

as in, you have accepted user input from the customer that is a possible promo code code value, and you want to use it on a payment?

#

this is screenshot for promo code apply

#

we want check promo code is valid or not valid, before subscription create..

hollow nymph Jun 17, 2024, 10:18 AM

#

you can pass the code to the Subscription Create API and it throws an error you can catch if it's invalid. Check the docs linked above.

#

understood..

#

but our flow is before stripe creation we need to validate promo code is valid one or not..

#

any option in stripe for above flow?

hollow nymph Jun 17, 2024, 10:26 AM

#

no

thin cliff Jun 17, 2024, 10:35 AM

#

we can check promo code availability/validity from promo list api https://docs.stripe.com/api/promotion_codes/list

no

#

you check validity of a PromoCode by attempting to apply it to a Subscription and catching the error, that's the only solution offered at the moment

thin cliff Jun 17, 2024, 10:38 AM

#

ok

#

but below steps i think work,
1.Get the list of promo codes form api https://docs.stripe.com/api/promotion_codes/list
2.and check thew 2 values our backend C# 1."code": "A1H1Q1MG" and 2. "valid": true .

hollow nymph Jun 17, 2024, 10:41 AM

#

what if you have 100s of promo codes to look at that way?

#

also, that doesn't tell you if the promo code is actually valid and applicable. It just tells you a PromoCode exists. For example maybe you used applies_to or the 'first time customer' restriction on the Coupon/PromoCode. To check if those restrictions work, you need to actually try to use the PromoCode.

ok i will check with my team and come back

#
