Hi, taking a look here
vague citrus
Thanks!

You can listen to checkout.session.completed event and look at amount_discount for the discounted amount.
However, I think you're asking how to attain the discount id from the events
vague citrus
yes, I'm specifically looking for a coupon code
It seems I can listen for customer.discount.created but that seemed strange
hazy jungle
testing this on my end reql quick, hang tight
Ok, I think you'd want to leverage the metadata: https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-metadata when you create the CheckoutSession to pass the details on the dicsount so you can see the discount information on the checkout.session.completed event .
vague citrus
Got it, okay, thank you!

Hi 👋
Are you applying discounts to specific line items in your Checkout Sessions?
vague citrus
not to the line item per se, I'm applying it using the discounts.*.coupon option
marsh hazel
Ack. Then my colleague's approach is correct. I was just hopeful. you could get it from the line_items.data.discouts property
vague citrus
got it, can I do that and still get No cost orders?
marsh hazel
How do you mean?
vague citrus
nevermind, I checked the API docs, I can't pass a discount.coupon to a line item so it's moot, thanks for checking in though
actually, while I have you - if I pass a amount_off coupon with an amount and currency will that amount only be applied if the customer's currency matches the currency of the coupon? Or will it dynamically adapt the amount off in say usd to whatever the presentment currency is?
marsh hazel
I would think it would only apply if the currencies matched but have you tested this?
vague citrus
I haven't been able to get the alternate currency to show
marsh hazel
You can use a dummy value for the customer_email parameter like test+location_FR@example.com to spoof a customer from France so it'll trigger a EUR presentement currency
vague citrus
Ah - that's cool, thanks for that little nugget! Looks like it will try to base the discount on settlement and adapt for presentment - awesome
is there a cheat sheet with more hot tips like that!
marsh hazel
Unfortunately not that I know of. It's in our public docs somewhere, that's how I found out. But I've since implemented a dropdown with some useful emails to test multi-currency prices so I haven't had to look in a while
vague citrus
well thank you for your help! have a good one 👍
marsh hazel
Sure thing! It's why we're here 🙂
