Hi 👋
That isn't a feature that the Stripe Coupon API currentlty allows. You can get close with Promotion Codes, by restricting the coupon to only Customers with no prior transactions
https://docs.stripe.com/api/promotion_codes/create#create_promotion_code-restrictions-first_time_transaction
Promotion codes are the Customer facing version of Coupons and are created with Coupons.

Are promotion codes only creatable via API or can I create these in the stripe interface?
fiery swift
If by "stripe interface" you mean the Dashboard, then I am pretty sure you can. However, this server focuses primarily on developers coding integrations with Stripe APIs so that is what we are most knowledgable about.

Yes I'm currently coding the integration in nextjs, but if I can do some things in the dashboard that is preferred so the non-engineers can modify it later
OK I found it. You have to create a coupon, then add a new promo code to it with the restriction
if I archive the existing promo code will any current subscriptions be affected?
fiery swift
Archiving prevents the promo from being applied to new subscriptions but shouldn't impact existing subs. That being said, we always recommend building thorough scenarios in Test mode to validate behavior. Especially with billing 😅

got it
thank you for your help, I'm trying to migrate them from a plugin to a custom integration that's why some of my work is still in the dashboard
