obo - prices

[dapper orbit]

Yep! you can List prices for only a specified product and see if there are any results:

@dapper orbit I was looking at this, but we could potentially have hundreds of prices for a singular product

[dapper orbit]

OK

Does that cause a problem for you?

You can also use limit=1 if you only want to check for existence

[undone pawn]

ahh sorry

I think I confused you

when I say price I mean like the actual price in cents

not the "price_id"

so like, "hey stripe is there a price with the cost of $0.05 per unit for this product"

[dapper orbit]

You mean, you want to search to see if there exists a Price object which has a specific recurring amount associated with it?

[undone pawn]

correct

[dapper orbit]

Are you doing something like "custom" pricing and trying to re-use prices?

[undone pawn]

yes that's exactly correct

we'll have our enterprise team making custom deals

and the engineering team wants to build them a tool to easily create new subscriptions with those item costs

[dapper orbit]

Gotcha, so, not directly, no

Two options for you:

1/ Cache prices keyed by price in your system, so you can pull it up when it already exists

2/ Consider the Search API (currently in Beta). It does not support searching by unit_amount on Prices currently, but you can set metadata to reflect the amount and search on that:
https://stripe.com/docs/search-api#charges-metadata-search

3/ Bonus option: don't worry about it and just create the custom price each time. It's fine to have many prices.

[undone pawn]

got it. Thanks for the info

[dapper orbit]

NP!
