👋 happy to help
you can pass in 2 prices within the PL line_items
but the trial will apply to both
regal lion
will it let me offer controls trial for both products separately?
regal lion
yes. that's what I found.
lusty roost
you can apply either a one-time fee for the time of the trial that should be paid by the second subscription item
or you can do a discount instead of a trial for the first price
regal lion
can we apply discount on a single product within a subscription
lusty roost
yes
regal lion
can you also elaborate this - you can apply either a one-time fee for the time of the trial that should be paid by the second subscription item
lusty roost
can you also elaborate this - you can apply either a one-time fee for the time o...
ok let's say both prices are on a monthly basis
and you're setting a trial for 7 days on the subscription
which should only apply on price1
price 1 is 10$ and price 2 is 20$
basically the 7 days would be ~5$ for 7 days
so in the PaymentLink you can add a one-time price (not recurring) covering the 5$ for price 2 within the trial period
regal lion
Are these monthly prices? - price 1 is 10$ and price 2 is 20$
lusty roost
yes
regal lion
I don't understand this - basically the 7 days would be ~5$ for 7 days
lusty roost
basically the first invoice would include
price 1 ----- 10$
price 2 ----- 20$
price 3 ----- 5$
total ------- 35$
next invoices
price 1 ----- 10$
price 2 ----- 20$
total ------- 30$
the idea is 20$ for ~30 days -> ~5$/week
regal lion
But the first bill has a trial so the bill should be less than the second month.
lusty roost
the trial period is added days
oh oh
yes sorry
my bad! 😦
basically the first invoice would include
price 1 ----- 7.5$
price 2 ----- 15$
price 3 ----- 5$
total ------- 27.5$
next invoices
price 1 ----- 10$
price 2 ----- 20$
total ------- 30$
regal lion
Basically our scenario is we may give 3 months free for product 1 and 1 month free for product 2.
Will discounting be a simpler option?
Then I will move in that direction.
lusty roost
yes way simpler!
regal lion
https://docs.stripe.com/api/coupons/create#create_coupon-applies_to-products
I will read this doc.
lusty roost
so you apply 2 coupons
1 coupon for the first price with 3 https://docs.stripe.com/api/coupons/object#coupon_object-duration_in_months and the other with 1 for the second price
make sure to use the applies_to with a list of product IDs
and make sure that price1 and price2 are created on 2 different products
regal lion
Thanks. I will starting reading.
lusty roost
let me know if you need any more help
regal lion
Can we reuse a coupon for all the customers or do we need to create a new one?
lusty roost
they can be reused
regal lion
Which means I can create 2 coupons for our 2 products in the portal and then configure them in our code. And for each new user sign up, we keep applying the same coupons.
lusty roost
yes that's correct
you can actually test this out with test clocks
and see how the invoices are being generated for each cycle
regal lion
Yes, I have tried this before for future invoices.
