Hi, let me help you with this.

[snow sleet]

Thanks Vanya

[brazen ivy]

Can we update the checkout session when a coupon code is applied?
What do you want to update exactly?

[snow sleet]

the shipping price

I see this exists
checkout.updateShippingOption(shippingOption?)

[brazen ivy]

Do you use embedded Stripe Checkout?

[snow sleet]

but i'd need an event to know when the coupon has been applied.

[brazen ivy]

Or Stripe-hosted?

[snow sleet]

yes embedded

[brazen ivy]

You could just create a Coupon that would also cover the shipping amount, have you tried that?

[snow sleet]

I tried, but couldn't find an option

did I not look properly?

if that works then sorry for wasting your time

ill have a look again

@brazen ivy I looked again and even tried with fixed discounts, but that always leaves the shipping price

[brazen ivy]

Hmm, let me check.

Does the change event fire when you apply a discount? https://docs.stripe.com/js/custom_checkout/change_event

[snow sleet]

i'll give it a shot

give me a few minutes

[brazen ivy]

Ok, I checked and there's no way to apply a discount to a shipping rate unfortunately. So you will have to actually update the rate based on the coupon application.

[snow sleet]

appreciate it

thanks for your time

[snow sleet]

still trying to set that up

[snow sleet]

Looks like custom_checkout is different to embedded checkout

When I initialize stripe I get this: TypeError: stripe.initCustomCheckout is not a function

[brazen ivy]

You're right. Sorry, it is some kind of Beta, that I don't know much about yet. But it might be actually what you're looking for in this case: https://docs.stripe.com/checkout/custom-checkout
It seems to benefit from handling Shipping, Coupons, Taxes etc., but be as flexible as Web Elements.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to implement what you're looking for with a standard embedded Checkout.

What I recommend as a workaround: apply the discount before creating the Checkout Session. And if the provided Coupon exists, set the available shipping rate to free one.

How do customers usually apply the coupon code?

Building a B2B app that also allows employees to get items at a discount
I assume they get to the page with some kind of referral link?

[snow sleet]

do you think I can get access to the beta?

I signed up for it, but I don't know how long it'll take to get access

[snow sleet]

yea I thought about this, the idea was just for them to have been given the codes in a company meeting

so they could just apply them at checkout

links could work

[brazen ivy]

I am not aware of the details of the process unfortunately, let's see what support says.

[snow sleet]

but its not what our clients were looking for

[brazen ivy]

Let's say, the code would be included in the link, then your app could extract it and check if such Coupon exists, and then choose the shipping rates based on that. This would be my recommended approach.

[snow sleet]

yea I might have to do that

thank you

[snow sleet]

hello tarzan

[brazen ivy]

Happy to help.

[frigid quarry]

👋 taking over for my colleague. Let me know if there's any follow-up Qs I can answer!

[snow sleet]

Mostly wondering if you can grant us beta access to the custom checkout flow

I requested access today

but not sure how long it'd take to actually get it

[frigid quarry]

we don't handle that unfortunately

you need to contact https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true to get access if you're eligible

[snow sleet]

how do I know if im eligible?

[frigid quarry]

they would tell you

[snow sleet]

they said they don't know 😦

Thanks for your help though, ill figure out another way

[frigid quarry]

who said they didn't know?

what's your account ID?

[snow sleet]

acct_1LVDpHIcweZTFoQH

[snow sleet]

someone from stripe support

but I asked if they could speed up the application process

not if I was eligable or not

[brittle otter]

hi! I'm taking over this thread.

let me know if you have any other question

[snow sleet]

other than wondering if we can speedupthe beta access request no

[brittle otter]

sorry we know nothing about this, so you'll just need to talk to Stripe support directly.

[snow sleet]

then all good

thank
