For clarifying, you do not want to modify the coupon to the specific discount amount instead of 20%? ie. a fixed coupon of $24 * 9 months = $216 ?

#

I could, but the date it will be valid until can be dynamic. E.g it might be 3 months in the future, it can be 2 years in the future

#

Its based of a students graduation date, so the discount I am providing is for students. They need to provide an Enrolment Confirmation Letter from their uni so we can 1) ensure they are a student, and 2) see when they will be a student until, to determin when the discount should be applied until

#

I do have one solution, but not sure if there is something more simpler:

I can add an invoice item, for the remaining amount to the Subscription via a subscription schedule phase, and get it to be invoiced immediately

#

Okie, but what happen if in Sep30 you just make an Update Subscription API to unset the coupons

#

(or the Subscription Schedule to unset it at the time)

I am not sure what behaviour that causes, will it cause a proration?

scenic zealot Jul 19, 2024, 2:20 AM

#

You can turn proration_behavior off. (Let's just try it in Test mode, and using Test clock to advance the time)

#

yeah I might quickly test it in the dashboard now

versed smelt Jul 19, 2024, 2:39 AM

#

yeah it didnt work as expected

#

I tried both with no proration, and charge immediately

#

It didnt generate an invoice for the remaining undiscounted amount

#

Thanks for trying, and yeah I suppose it's not that straighforward :/ I guess the only option is to manually generate an additional invoice item as you mentioned there. This is trickly because API-wise it's an annual Sub, while actually you want to calculate by monthly

versed smelt Jul 19, 2024, 2:43 AM

#

lol yeah, the issue only comes above when when the user chooses annual subscription over monthly. because with monthly, I can just remove the discount and the next invoice will get generated accordinly
