#julio - promo code
sage wasp
ok
i have use this endpoint
{{baseUrl}}/v1/promotion_codes?active=active&code=XXX
to check if my promotion code is valid.
But how can i be sure that when i'll go for {{baseUrl}}/v1/subscriptions (using in body promotion_code=valid_code
, there will not be any issue with the product i add to my subscription ? or the expired_at of my coupon/promoCode
because i'm using react native ( so not stripe.js or checkout ) . I want my users to be able to enter a promo_code and if valid, display the discount they might got. before creating any subscriptions
am i understandable ?
do you want me to provide some screenshot ?
steel stag
Sorry, looking again now 🙂
sage wasp
no sweat 😉
steel stag
there will not be any issue with the product i add to my subscription
What kind of issues?
sage wasp
technically, i can create a coupon which only works for some products , right ?
steel stag
If the coupon/promo is no longer valid the request that tries to use it will error, that's how you'll know
Yes
sage wasp
ok so basically here is what can happen
steel stag
before creating any subscriptions
You likely want to look at using the Upcoming Invoice API then:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/upcoming
sage wasp
- User select the pricing he wants
- He types a promo code
- I validate the promo code using
{{baseUrl}}/v1/promotion_codes?active=active&code=XXX - I display the discount on the view ( knowning the percentOff of the coupon that is linked to the promotion_code )
- He click on CTA "purchased/confirm" or whatever
- I call subscription.create({promotionCode}) and i can get a error because the promotion code could be valid in time, but not available for all product
steel stag
Well the promo should still work/apply, but wont provide any discount if the products don't match
(if i remember correctly)
sage wasp
ahhh right
steel stag
Using the upcoming invoice api is likely to get you what you want, a real preview of the first invoice that would be generated
sage wasp
ok , there is no other endpoint allowing me to check the promo code on a specific subscription with specific product
sage wasp
Using the upcoming invoice api is likely to get you what you want, a real previe...
But using this endpoint, i should already have a subcription created right ? I'm in the case where nothing is yet created
steel stag
Nope, you can use it to preview a new subscription by provide only subscription_items and no subscription id
subscription
optional
The identifier of the subscription for which you’d like to retrieve the upcoming invoice. If not provided, but a subscription_items is provided, you will preview creating a subscription with those items.
sage wasp
