Hi! if I'm understanding your question correctly, toay we don't support item-level discounts in Checkout, only one discount across the Session
pine plinth
we managed to discount items but we create a product in stripe and reference the checkout session with the product. and of course the coupon applies only to the product ins tripe
carmine shoal
can you share some code and specific errors you're facing?
pine plinth
sure
if (requestData.productKey === "addReport") {
checkoutSessionLineItems.push({
price_data: {
currency: "eur",
unit_amount: 100 * product.pricing.price.total,
product_data: {
images: [
`https://gentastic.io/_next/image?url=/reportImages/${
requestData.reportKeys?.[0] ?? "cholin"
}.jpg&w=640&q=75`,
],
name: "Bericht Nachkaufen",
description: requestData.reportKeys?.join(", ") ?? "",
tax_code: "txcd_10000000",
metadata: {
reportKeys: requestData.reportKeys?.join(",") ?? "",
"lookup-key": "addReport",
},
},
},
quantity: 1,
});
} else
checkoutSessionLineItems.push({
price: product.pricing.price.stripeReference.price[env],
quantity: 1,
});
so, when we add the line item with price_data it is not referenced to the product in stripe. in the else case it is reference through product.pricing.price.stripeReference.price[env]. in this case we have all the correct product ids set for test and prod envs
in the else case it can apply coupons, which apply only to one product, in checkout. the other ones it cannot

that seems normal though right? Like you're saying you created a Coupon/PromotionCode that is limited to a specific Product (via applies_to ), so naturally you can't use that coupon when you're using a different Product(like this ad-hoc one you create)?
pine plinth
exactly
but what options do I have when I want to apply a coupon only to the addReport products
btw, I tried setting the lookup key but it did not work either. seems like the product needs to be referenced
so th equestion is how can I reference a product but change image and description, and the meta data
carmine shoal
can't you just create a new Coupon that doesn't have the same restriction (you can create the Coupon ad-hoc in an API call to stripe.coupons.create inside this branch), and then pass that to https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-discounts ?
so th equestion is how can I reference a product but change image and description, and the meta data
you can't; you'd create a new Product(which is what you're doing)
there isn't really a magic workaround here unfortunately; the only realy option here is using a different Product+Coupon
pine plinth
okay, thank you for the direction. I guess this would work, we only need to check if the coupon is applied directly or the user needs to enter the coupon code. because we are working with partners who get coupon codes and the customers need to enter the coupon manually
carmine shoal
if you pass `discounts[][coupon] = <coupon ID> it's applied directly, it's not a promo code that the user has to enter
pine plinth
there is also discounts.promotion_code maybe this will work
or is that one also applied directly
carmine shoal
it's applied directly. Is that not what you want? Or do you just want the user to be able to enter a promo code on the Checkout page?
pine plinth
yes, otherwise every customer would get the discount
