Hello, Checkout Sessions isn't what you want for this scenario (it also doesn't work for this), maybe you want to take a look at the Customer portal instead? https://docs.stripe.com/customer-management

Customer self-service with a customer portal

Allow your customers to manage their own accounts and subscriptions.

#

your customers can upgrade the subscription through the customer portal

Thank you for the prompt reply

#

How do I supply the price ?

https://docs.stripe.com/api/customer_portal/configurations/create#create_portal_configuration-features-subscription_update-products-prices

I tried to supply it inside features.subscription.update.products.prices but I am getting a TS error saying prices does not exists ?

        subscription_update: {
          enabled: true,
          default_allowed_updates: ['promotion_code', 'price'],
          products: {
            prices: [priceId],
            product: productId,
          },
        },

np!

#

Thank you, this is what I was looking for

#

One more question though, once the customer updates. Is there a way I can redirect them to my application without them having to click on return ?

#

I populated return_url but it only redirects after I've clicked on Return to <My Application>

opal slate Oct 10, 2024, 4:17 AM

#

there's no other way unfortunately, they'll need to click on the Return to....

#

And if the customer has a underlying discount, I can't remove it from the portal session right ?

opal slate Oct 10, 2024, 4:24 AM

#

do you mean you don't want to allow the customer to remove an underlying discount?

vast matrix Oct 10, 2024, 4:25 AM

#

Can you please take a look at this invoice ID ? : in_1Q8Dq6Gei7MrDZaxx4eQ9Uvq

I have a customer who subscribed to Product X that has 4 different prices and had a 10$ discount, when the customer upgraded to a different priceID in the same Product X , the 10$ discount got applied.

I don't want it to apply on upgrade because I've already offered it once

are you referring to this coupon? https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/coupons/sAp15YFu

#

Yes

#

It is applicable to the same product, I am aware of that. However, I want to offer it only when they are on a smaller value plan and not when upgrading

opal slate Oct 10, 2024, 4:29 AM

#

that level of customization isn't possible right now. Since the coupon itself applies to the same product and over a duration of 12 months, it'll still apply in the situation you mentioned
