Is there a character limit to promotion codes etc
dawn cape
Hi, can you give example of those errors?
true stag
Sure
was making a promotion code
and had the value
code: ${account.properties.accountId}-purchase-on-sign-up,
account id is a UUID
produces 7a331f42-c59d-493c-acad-64d56c6399f3-purchase-on-sign-up
dawn cape
hmm I see, and how is the API response
true stag
i read further into the docs, realized i dont need to make specific promotion codes
as long as i tie it to a customer, i can reuse same code
so thats great
but yeah, one sec, resposne from server was
{"message":"This value must match the regex pattern. (/\A[a-zA-Z0-9]+\z/ does not match for the value af7d25a1-08fd-43bf-8ec8-30560371bd57-purchase-on-sign-up).

That is fine if stripe has a limit on characters n stuff
dont mind
just want to know what they are so im not guessing what is valid and what is not
when i read that regex it says, Alphanumeric and thats it
/\A[a-zA-Z0-9]+\z/
i forget what \A does and \z
dawn cape
Yeah it's alphanumeric. I also can't find anywhere in the Doc mentioned that (sorry). But it's alphanumeric
true stag
sure sure not a problem
so there isnt any place thats like "Hey, these are how we define these types" in the docs
dawn cape
It should be here https://stripe.com/docs/api/promotion_codes/create#create_promotion_code-code Agree that we should improve the Doc
true stag
so the regex doesnt specify a length, you know off the top of your head what the max promotion code string length is? 255?
Not that i plan to pass a 255 long promotion code, but just dont want to find out its like 10 or something
dawn cape
Yeah let me try to find that limit
I can confirm the regex is /\A[a-zA-Z0-9]+\z/, which mean Alphanumeric, but no length check so far.
true stag
Hey @dawn cape its all good. I dont plan to make anything longer than 10 characters long, no way i will probably butt up against your limit. So if its some deep pain in the butt thing to look up, no need. I feel confident moving forward
