If this is just a 1-time discount you want applied to the first invoice, I think it makes sense to use a negative amount invoice item

hmmmm interesting, i like that workaround but a bunch of our backend code checks to make sure the invoice only has 1 item
which that would break
is there a diff workaround?
previously we did something like this with a subscription schedule, where we created a schedule with start_date now and end_behaviour release, with a single phase
could we do the same? (to avoid the invoice being charged immediately)
opaque wigeon
You could
Kinda complicated just for a 1 time discount though
You could also use a coupon
with a duration of once: https://docs.stripe.com/api/coupons/create#create_coupon-duration

oh does default_incomplete do the same thing?
oh hmm nope, seems like default_incomplete still tries to charge
actually, not sure
fluid wolf
hmmm it might, just feels a bit odd to make a coupon for this one-off
opaque wigeon
That's what the duration of once functionality is for 😄
fluid wolf
haha true
opaque wigeon
It's cleaner solution than using subscription schedule
fluid wolf
i am leaning towards the subscription schedule workaround, only because then the flow of adding a coupon to an invoice is the same for both the first month and each successive month
