Hi 👋

#

So you include the Promo code in the Checkout Session creation and that disables editing of the promo field, right?

frail lion Mar 3, 2025, 5:16 PM

#

Something I tried: setting
allow_promotion_codes: true
but I get an error when also applying the discount:
You may only specify one of these parameters: allow_promotion_codes, discounts.

#

yes!

weak sky Mar 3, 2025, 5:16 PM

#

Correct. If you provide the discounts then the Customer does not get to modify them.

#

But if you do not include a discounts parameter but specify instead allow_promotion_codes: true, then the customer can enter promo codes

#

Honestly that does strike me as a little silly now that you mention it.

#

Can you describe your user case more thoroughly?

frail lion Mar 3, 2025, 5:18 PM

#

Yes, we're exploring an option where we want to auto apply a promo-code for all users. But if they know a different code that has a higher discount, we want to let them use that one instead.

#

Okay. That isn't available currently but I can flag it as a feature request

frail lion Mar 3, 2025, 5:20 PM

#

ok great, thank you!

and yea I don't want to make any assumptions on the implementation, but I don't really see it that different from a customer being able to change the code themselves (without an initial code auto-applied)

weak sky Mar 3, 2025, 5:25 PM

#

Okay, feedback filed! I cannot guarantee if/when it will get implemented but you can track changes we make to our products in our Changelog

frail lion Mar 3, 2025, 5:26 PM

#

ok thanks!

weak sky Mar 3, 2025, 5:26 PM

#

I think that use case makes perfect sense and hopefully it'll be an easy change.
