Was talking about this yesterday:
https://discord.com/channels/841573134531821608/1296640313775095879
https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-discounts
This api wording was confusing but now is proving I may only be able to include a single coupon?
Is there a way I could include more than one? Why does the api not support this?
neat sage
Hi, I know you can stack coupons when creating the subscription, https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/coupons?dashboard-or-api=api#stackable-coupons. However, let me confirm this on Checkout Sessions in subscription mode.
I was able to confirm that this is not supported on Checkout today. Each session can only have a single discount.
As a work around, I would recommend that you sum up the discount and offer one discount.
lilac fog
Each discount is mapped to a metered product... not really something I can sum up
lilac fog
So I can stack coupons to a subscription, but not to a checkout session?
Could I update the subscription after checkout is complete? Seems like a weird approach
lilac fog
I've shared your feedback with the team
thank you. Would be great if I could stack coupons during the session, this seems quite critical to this use case
neat sage
Yeap! There is not a timeline I can share with you but do know that the product owning team is aware of this limitation.
lilac fog
So you said no, I could not attach coupons after the subscription is created?
neat sage
have you tested this? Does it work?
lilac fog
Was able to do it from the Dashboard just now. Let me try via API
Yes, was able to use the stripe shell to run subscription update
neat sage
I am also testing this, hang tight.
Yeah, I still can edit it:
I see our documentation: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/overview#checkout-sessions
You can only upadate it after the session is compelete. Otherwise, you can't:
For Stripe Checkout integrations, you can’t update the subscription or its invoice if the session’s subscription is incomplete. You can listen to the checkout.session.completed webhook to make the update after the session has completed.
@lilac fog I'm closing the channel but I hope the above was helpful.
lilac fog
Oh wait
neat sage
I just re-opened the thread as you said 'wait'
lilac fog
Thank you haha, just reading now! Want to check if I have any questions
looks like the link you sent might be internal? corp.strip?
You can listen to the checkout.session.completed webhook to make the update after the session has completed.
Makes sense! This is what I was thinking of doing as a workaround for now.
neat sage
yes, you're right.
Yeah, since that change is coming I would not rely on that.
Sounds good!
Going to close this thread now, have a great weekend.
neat sage
No, the fact that you can ony update subscription's after the Checkout is complete.
lilac fog
Sorry not sure I fully understand what you're recommending
