Having ```   allow_promotion_codes: true,
      discounts: [{ coupon: "Yh0ycabZ" }],``` Both of these causes the error "Stripe subscription error: StripeInvalidRequestError: You may only specify one of these parameters: allow_promotion_codes, discounts." Is it not possible to have a automaic code apply and a option to manually input another coupon code that would be used instead ?

Right, gotcha. And the coupon you're providing is effectively a free month?

wanton olive
#

yeah ``` discounts: [{ coupon: "Yh0ycabZ" }],

untold cape
#

And there are other promo codes your customers will be able to use at (/in) Checkout?

wanton olive
#

Yeah there is a 3 month promo code i want customers be able to use at checkout if they know

# 
``` This works only if ```      discounts: [{ coupon: "Yh0ycabZ" }],
``` is not also in the code so its not letting me have both
#

Stripe subscription error: StripeInvalidRequestError: You may only specify one of these parameters: allow_promotion_codes, discounts. error

untold cape
#

Very clear, gotcha. As it stands, it sounds like you can't use those two things together.

wanton olive
#

ahh no way to do it huh?

untold cape
#

Is the logic you're trying to accomplish something like this?

If they don't have their own coupon, use this one for a 1 month free

wanton olive
#

The logic is The user clicks subscribe button => They get taken to Chckout Portal => There is a automaic 100 percent coupon 1 month free applied => after 1 month they will get billed monthy

#

But

#

if they have the 3Month free promo code they can type it in the promo input and apply it

#

and they will instead get 3 months free instead of the automatic 1 month that everyone gets by default

#

thats what im aiming for

untold cape
#

Ok, gotcha.

#

One sec.

wanton olive
#

sure thing

untold cape
#

So your actual logic is something like:

If they have a 3-free-month coupon, they get 3 free months

Ya?

wanton olive
#

Right if they have the coupon and apply it they get 3 months instead of 1 free month

Desired Flow:

  1. Auto-applied coupon: A coupon should automatically apply for all customers, offering a fixed discount (e.g., 1 month free) to all users who are being charged for a subscription.

  2. User input for promotion codes: In addition to the auto-applied coupon, I would like to give customers the ability to enter their own promo code at checkout, which would override the existing discount if valid (e.g., a special code for 3 months free).

untold cape
#

Hold on.

#

Your desired flow is to give everyone the first month off, except for those who have a 3-month off coupon.

#

(aka let's take a step back)

wanton olive
#

  1. Default behavior: All users will automatically have a 1-month free coupon applied during checkout.

  2. Override with promo code: Users who have a valid 3-month promo code can enter it, and it should replace the 1-month auto-applied coupon with a 3-month free subscription.

...Ya but StripeBot is not my supervisor 🤪

#

Cool. Your words are impossible to implement with Stripe Checkout, mine are not. 🙂

wanton olive
#

sorry?

untold cape
#

Your words, which are very specifc, are not compatible with Checkout - as you have discovered - so you need to find a different way to do item 1.

#

Or, a different way to deal with deciding between 1 and 2, before you get to Checkout Session creation.

#

(i.e., you know the correct promo before you create the session because you asked them if they had a promo code before you sent them to Checkout, and if they did, you used that, and if they didn't, you used the base one)

I see handle the logic on the client side before passing info to the api
