Hi, what does ' duplicate redeem' mean here? What did you expect vs. what you're seeing exactly and where? We discuss a bit more about prorations and discounts here: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/prorations#prorations-and-discounts that might be helpful to review

#

the cupón code is for "10% off once" but when using the clock feature to advance time in test mode.
two invoices got the discount of 10% .

#

if you check the logs
the create scheduled it automatically creates two phases , each one has a discount object
https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_DvwAOYHy0GFojL

then I update the phases by adding a new phase in the middle of the original last phase end_date .
I maintaining the same discount object.
I add this new phase because I want to upgrade the subs to a new plan in a X time in the future (1744293600)

You can limit how to apply the coupon on the product: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/coupons

However, on the subscription schedules update, https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_gef5yPPNwBr5sD you're passing the discount on each phase. If you did not intend to do that, you'd need to remove the discount from the next phase.

#

Are you able to test that?

kind drum Mar 28, 2025, 2:06 PM

#

the problem is if I remove the discount it will be removed.
I tested with other subs. that had 50% off for 3 months

create scheduled , response has two phases with each one discount object
https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_6Y15mv83SlPYA3

I added a new phase without the discount object, (but the other two still have discount object to maintaining the same original data)
https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_yZRQGFWuIy8pOl

and the effect was that only 1 invoice had 50% the other were full price when using Clock feature.

Which invoices did you expect the dicount to appply exactly?

kind drum Mar 28, 2025, 2:12 PM

#

this was applied https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/invoices/in_1R6wHcE8gsL5R1XuJph1AqqZ
and this two that should be applied it did't
https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/invoices/in_1R6wJVE8gsL5R1Xujl3wVbY6
https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/invoices/in_1R6wJFE8gsL5R1Xu2qaARbcc

#

I notice now that the original discount was applied to old SKU. the first invoice in_1R6wHcE8gsL5R1XuJph1AqqZ

but the other two invoices in_1R6wJVE8gsL5R1Xujl3wVbY6 in_1R6wJFE8gsL5R1Xu2qaARbcc
has the new sku, that Im not adding "discount" object in the phase. so that could be the reason?

#

since they are different sku, is not passing the % month to the next two since its a differet sku of when the coupon was applied?

#

If you want the discount to be applied to a specific phase, you'd need to pass the discount on that specific phase: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscription_schedules/update#update_subscription_schedule-phases-coupon

kind drum Mar 28, 2025, 2:26 PM

#

but why, I dont understand.
If I add the coupon to the new phase that has new sku, it will applied to 3 months future invoices.
making in total 4 invoices with discount

brisk sandal Mar 28, 2025, 2:30 PM

#

You could specify the iteration for 3 months: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscription_schedules/update#update_subscription_schedule-phases-iterations

I'm unsure what you mean by '3 months future invoices.
making in total 4 invoices with discount'

I was under the impression that you'd want the discount to apply for 3 months.

kind drum Mar 28, 2025, 2:33 PM

#

because the first one was applied in_1R6wHcE8gsL5R1XuJph1AqqZ
then the new phase that makes the upgrade plan to new price take effect

if in that phase I send the discount code, it will interpret as a new coupon applied so it will start again from zero.
making the next 3 invocies to 50%

so in total 4

brisk sandal Mar 28, 2025, 2:36 PM

#

I see. I highly recommend that you test with iterations here and see if that what you're looking for.

kind drum Mar 28, 2025, 2:37 PM

#

okay I will go and test more thanks.
that is all
