Hi there 👋 you are correct that you can't restrict a Coupon based on a Price, you can only specify Product IDs in applies_to.products when creating the Coupon.
Can you help me understand where you're stuck now, so I can try to advise how to proceed?
slow ember
API call to get coupon to confirm the product id it applies_to
young torrent
You would use the endpoint shown here for that:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/coupons/retrieve
slow ember
coupon_id = "coupon_50_OFF_FIRST_MONTH"
coupon = Stripe::Coupon.retrieve(coupon_id)
#<Stripe::Coupon:0x1afcc id=coupon_50_OFF_FIRST_MONTH> JSON: {
"id": "coupon_50_OFF_FIRST_MONTH",
"object": "coupon",
"amount_off": null,
"created": 1750856868,
"currency": null,
"duration": "once",
"duration_in_months": null,
"livemode": false,
"max_redemptions": null,
"metadata": {},
"name": "50% Off First Month",
"percent_off": 50.0,
"redeem_by": null,
"times_redeemed": 0,
"valid": true
}

applies_to?
I want to have the code to set and get applies to
then i need to move to promo code and create a new one that has the same product restriction. Do i ALSO need to set it on the promo code or only on the coupon?
young torrent
Ah, apologies, forgot that field isn't included by default. You'll have to use expand to include the applies_to hash:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/expanding_objects
slow ember
😦
young torrent
Only on the Coupon. Promotion Codes don't support Product-restrictions themselves, they inherit that from the associated Coupon.
slow ember
where are the docs that show the expand params on coupoins
how would anyone know this?
https://docs.stripe.com/api/coupons
young torrent
There aren't docs specific to that, because the use of expand is the same for all API requests.
slow ember
😦
expand: ['customer', 'payment_intent.customer'],
How would one know wtf to pass in?
that there is a hidden secret "applies_to" option?????
young torrent
You read the section about how expand works where we tell you to put the name of the field that you want to include/expand int he response.
slow ember
where do the coupon docs say there is a secret "applies_to" field????
young torrent
While I agree currently do a bad job of distinguishing between includable and expandable fields (I've been complaining about this internally for a while now) the presence of the expandable tag in our API ref is a pretty good indication that you may need to use expand.
It's not secret?
slow ember
write an applies to retrieve. I cannot
young torrent
This is the section where we talk about setting eligible products for a Coupon, and point to using the applies_to hash for that:
https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/coupons?dashboard-or-api=api#set-eligible-products
What do you have currently?
slow ember
Stripe’s current API does not support an applies_to or product expansion on the Coupon object.
Product restrictions live only on Promotion Codes, not Coupons.
young torrent
And what is the error you're seeing when you run it?
slow ember
probably a hallucination
strip.value
value = value.strip # raise error for invalid byte sequences
oops hold on
3.2.2 :063 > coupon_id
=> "coupon_50_OFF_FIRST_MONTH"
3.2.2 :065 > request = Stripe::Coupon.retrieve(coupon_id, expand: ["applies_to"])
(irb):65:in <main>': undefined method strip' for ["applies_to"]:Array (NoMethodError)
OK got it. ChatGPT thinks its not supported but ok
OK to create a coupon with an applies_to via the API?
where is the doc on that?
OK, can I make an API and confirm that the promo code is restricted to a given product? Or how do i do so? chedck the promo code, then the related coupo, then the applies to field??? For an rspec test.
Q: Can you confirm that a promo code is restricted to a specifc product? If yes, how?
via API
for rspec test

Yup, exactly. You find the Coupon associated with the Promotion Code object, and check what Products are in the applies_to.products array on the Coupon.
