I am using max_redemptions=1 which I think means that the promo code will only work for that 1 month. Just not sure what happens after.

Hi, I would need a bit more information. How did you configure the coupon etc.. However, in general if the coupon was not created to be applied lifetime, then a payment will be due on the next billing cycle.

I'm unable to use that link
Can you share the request id instead? Here's how you can find a request ID: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

I am wondering if there is a way to prevent the customer from getting charged after the first month?
compact marlin
So are you saying that you just want to offer a free price?
acoustic cipher
just for that 1 month, then cancel them or stop them from paying at all
compact marlin
Yes, you can pass that in when you create the subscription: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-trial_settings-end_behavior. This allows you to cancel the subscription if no payment method was attached to the customer after the trial ends.
acoustic cipher
but this is not for a trial though
brb for a few minutes, go ahead and type i will come back in a bit
compact marlin
you're right, you're passing a 100% off coupon instead. I think the best way would be to track this on your end and before the billing period ends on those subscription that have 100% off coupon, you would make an API call to cancel the subscription.
acoustic cipher
using a webhook?
compact marlin
Yes, that works, You can listen to https://docs.stripe.com/api/events/types#event_types-customer.subscription.created and look at current_period_end. Then, you could actually make a rqeust to update the subscription, https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-cancel_at_period_end to cancel the subscription at the end of the current period.
Can you try this?
acoustic cipher
sure, but i only want to apply this only to the 100% off promo code subscriptions, not my other subscriptions. Any way to do that?
compact marlin
You would inspect that subscription and it is has the price that has 100% off coupong, you would make these requests. Otherwise, you would not need to make this request.
acoustic cipher
okay, i will investigate. thanks
