Hello
When you say slug, do you mean a custom ID/text or something?
gilded fulcrum
thats right. something that could reference the price inside my app without exposing its id (also usefull for SEO)
For example I have a list of "prices" (subscriptions) and I'd like to make it accessible as .../subscriptions/some_seo_name
celest vigil
Prices have a parameter called lookup_key which you can use for this purpose
https://docs.stripe.com/api/prices/create#create_price-lookup_key
Product objects unfortunately don't have anything as such. A workaround would be to pass in your own custom ID when creating the product object
https://docs.stripe.com/api/products/create#create_product-id

Yeah, I saw the property called "lookup_key", but I didnt see any API call / library method to retrieve the price object using this field, only its ID (or search)
celest vigil
You can use List All Prices endpoint and pass lookup key as a param - https://docs.stripe.com/api/prices/list#list_prices-lookup_keys
This is because the same lookup key can be used with multiple prices
gilded fulcrum
Yeah, thats not the thing, so I guess its better to handle this stuff separately from the stripe api using my own API layer
celest vigil
Yup, that would give you more flexibility
