👋 happy to help

inland hare
#

So would I need a form on my site for a customer to enter the code then make the checkout session and have it applied?

#

I was hoping checkout would have like a textbox in the session so I wouldn't have to make the text box myself

#

This says for 1 time payments, but can it be done for subscriptions?

#

ok but is it possible in the checkout session where the customer enters a card to have them enter a coupon code?

#

I don't want to hard code a coupon into the checkout session

unborn orbit
#

adding a coupon doesn't mean applying a discount

#

it means that for this session the user has the ability to use that coupon to get a discount

inland hare
#

So could I have discounts=[{
'coupon': ' ',
}],

#

A blank coupon where I could make an environment variable or something to change it

#

The problem is I don't want to have to shut off my server each time just to apply a coupon code

#

Blank would be for normal price

unborn orbit
#

I don't follow

inland hare
#

Oh so the customer doesn't have to use the coupon at all in the session?>

#

If I hard code a coupon, the customer doesn't have to use it?

unborn orbit
#

yes exactly

inland hare
#

Ignore what I said for now I just want to understand what you said

unborn orbit
#

you're telling Stripe that you expect some people to be using a promo code

#

a coupon

#

for a potential discount

inland hare
#

But what happens if I don't want to use it anymore? Like it is a 1 time sale

unborn orbit
#

you could build a logic in your code whether to add discounts or not

inland hare
#

So I would need to make a form to enter the coupon before creating the session?

unborn orbit
#

no

#

when you pass that parameter

#

we will add the possibility for customers on the Checkout Sessions to add coupons

inland hare
#

by having the customer enter a code themselves in the checkout session?

unborn orbit
#

yes

inland hare
#

But I need to supply 1 coupon id? What if I don't want to use that one anymore?

#

I have to restart my server each time?

unborn orbit
#

discounts is an array

inland hare
#

Yea but it says only 1 though?

#

So can I have a blank discounts array? Does that mean the user could enter a code from my dashboard if I do not provide anything and leave it as a blank array?

unborn orbit
#

no it's an optional array of hashes

#

each hash has a coupon and/or a promotion_code

#

you can have an empty array but not an empty hash

inland hare
#

Can you provide an example of this hash?

unborn orbit
inland hare
#

'{{COUPON_ID}}' = hash?

unborn orbit
#

no

#

the hash means an object { coupon: {{COUPON_ID}} }

inland hare
#

oh

#

{
coupon: {{COUPON_ID}}
}, {
coupon: {{COUPON_ID}}
}

#

Would be eligible if I have multiple?

unborn orbit
#

yes

inland hare
#

But I don't like the fact I need to hard code these in... I wish the checkout had a textbox that said enter code and then stripe checks against my dashboard all of the coupons to see if it is there. If I hard code all of the coupon ids in the checkout code, the user is able to select all of them?

unborn orbit
#

no the user would not see any of these informations

inland hare
#

They can just enter the coupon code and validate against it?

#

what I have in the array?

unborn orbit
#

the user would have the ability to add a coupon on the checkout session, if it happens to be one of these then he gets the discount

#

yes it would validate with all of the provided coupon ids

inland hare
#

So each time I have to enter a new on whenever I have a sale and restart my server/?

unborn orbit
#

you could build a logic where you could pull from your own database whether there are any discounts at the moment or not

inland hare
#

ok

unborn orbit
#

this is up to you to figure out how you implement the logic

inland hare
#

interesting

#

thanks i will try it out.. i have another question

#

For ACH I am trying to make a FAQ I just want you to make sure I am understanding this right

#

The question I have in the FAQ is how do ACH payments work for subscriptions?

#

ACH payments are a delayed payment method. After paying for a membership, your membership will not be activated right away. Depending on your bank, you might be emailed in 1-2 business days to manually verify microdeposits in your bank account or your bank will automatically verify the microdeposits for you right away. Once the microdeposits have been verified, it may take up to 5 business days for your payment to be processed and for your membership to be activated. Microdeposit verification is a one time process when connecting your bank account to our service for the first time. Future recurring payments from the same bank account will not need microdeposit verification again. However, recurring payments may still have payment processing delays of up to 5 days.

You're asking me to proof read your content?

inland hare
#

yes

#

the last 2 sentences I am not 100% sure of

#

I am mainly concerned if I have the number of business days correct and that is how it actually works

#

last 3 sentences sorry

unborn orbit
#

sorry but that's outside of the scope of this channel

inland hare
#

i was worried you would say that

I often feel like you are technical and know more than the business people do

unborn orbit
#

that's why the main topics we handle in this channel are dev and implementation questions

inland hare
#

because surely you coded it so surely you would know lol

unborn orbit
#

I hope you understand

inland hare
#
