Good question, I am not immediately sure. Looking in to this and will get back to you

thank you!

Unfortunately it looks like there isn't a good way to do this at the moment. Outside of coupons, the two ways that I can think of to reduce the amount on an invoice would also take 1 extra API call. Namely:
- Creating a negative invoice item. We do allow for negative invoice items which you can even give a custom name to make it clear that it is a discount. Unfortunately we don't allow this in the susbcription creation call's
add_invoice_itemsparameter so that would need to be a separate API call. - Creating customer credit balance

and if I do go any of the routes above, would that apply to just the first invoice or every invoice?

Hi 👋
I'm stepping in as my colleague needed to go.
If you use either of the approaches my colleague listed above, they would apply per invoice and you would need to manage them
If you don't mind me asking, is there a reason you wouldn't just create Coupon objects in your Stripe account to represent these discounts?

I see
Could it be possible to ask another unrelated question here or would you like me to create a new thread?
livid parcel
No that's fine, ask away.

oh wait acutally give me a sec, essentially I created a subscritpion with metadata but when I call for it via api I don't get metadata back. Let me tripe check that it's the right one
apologies

No worries. If you have the API request where you create the Subscription I can check where the metadata is being saved.

I can see it in the dashboard, just not in the call but it looks like I might have the wrong id. This is my souce of truth sub_1QXVOzDY3BzcP9iqb2QNBFEp

Okay I see the metadata for this subscription.
You can also see it in the creation request here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_j5JBlgZnhPQLfU

so im calling invoice in_1QXVOzDY3BzcP9iqTgrZHPSf to get subscription id, which returns sub_1QUyCQDY3BzcP9iqKNHA6FMl, then I'm calling subs api but it seems that's not the one I'm looking for. Probably got the wrong invoice id
livid parcel
Well I'm not sure which Subscription you are looking for but in_1QXVOzDY3BzcP9iqTgrZHPSf shows up as being linked to sub_1QXVOzDY3BzcP9iqb2QNBFEp when I look at it.
I'm not sure where sub_1QUyCQDY3BzcP9iqKNHA6FMl is coming from.
What is it you are trying to do? Like what's the larger goal here?
compact jungle
I need the metadata to trigger something else. I can continue debugging this on my code, it seems the invoices are being messed up in my code somehow
Thanks!

Sure thing! For what it's worth, I do see the metadata on the first subscription you referenced so you are setting it properly.
