Hi, you should be able to set the coupon for eligibile products only, https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/coupons?dashboard-or-api=api#set-eligible-products.
Then, after you create the promotion code, it should only apply to that product that is eligible to get the discount.

Right, I understand I can use the applies_to field to apply to a specific product. However, I have two prices on the same product; one is monthly and one is yearly. How can I create a promo code/coupon that only applies to the yearly price on that product?
modest topaz
Ah, you did say that on your initial ask. It sounds like you've already tried a few options. Let me look
Yeah, there is not an easy way here, you can't pass a restriction for a price when creating the promo code. As a work around, I think an amount would work better since it's the same product.

An amount? Can you expand on that?
oh, are you talking about this? https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/coupons?dashboard-or-api=api#set-a-minimum-amount
didn't notice this earlier, but it does seem like it'd work as well
modest topaz
No, you pass an amount off when you create the coupon: https://docs.stripe.com/api/coupons/create#create_coupon-amount_off

Hmmm. If the coupon can't be restricted to either monthly or yearly price, then I imagine a flat amount_off price (e.g. $25 off) that would make sense for the yearly price would result in a $0 monthly price?
modest topaz
Yes, but you can offer those to the customer who will buy both monthly and yearly subscriptions. I think the easiest solution is to put them on two separate products and limit the coupon/ promo by the product.
