Hi! Can you share more details with examples?

Hi Sam
An example is a discount that lasts for the first year on a monthly billed subscription.
For this monthly billed subscription, this discount will apply for 1 year (i.e. the first 11 renewals).
This existing subscription is not represented by Stripe Subscriptions yet and I am working on getting subscriptions in this scenario onto Stripe. If this subscription is currently 6 months into their subscription already, I'm wondering how to best set this up on a Stripe Subscription.
In particular, I'm wondering how to represent that the subscription has a 1 year discount that started 6 months ago.
Do I need to create coupons of varying durations (1 month coupon, 2 month coupon, etc.) and then selectively apply the correct one when setting up the Stripe Subscription?

Where do you want to represent this? To your customer or internally?

On the customer's subscription, such that once on a Stripe Subscription... Stripe will apply the discount (assuming via a coupon) for the remainder of the duration with which it is applicable.
In my example of a monthly subscription (with a 1 year discount) that is already 6 months into their subscription. I'm wondering how to get the Stripe Subscription setup such that the discount will discontinue/expire on the subscription after 6 months.

You can use Subscription Schedule to create phases.
- Phase 1: with a 6 months coupon
- Phase 2: the rest of the subscription without any discount
You can follow this guideline on how to do it: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/subscription-schedules/use-cases#upgrade-downgrade-coupons
On the customer's subscription, such that once on a Stripe Subscription... Stripe will apply the discount (assuming via a coupon) for the remainder of the duration with which it is applicable.
Regarding this, we do not show such information to the customer. However, you can set the description on the invoice level (https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/update#update_invoice-description) while it is in draft mode.
