Stripe Coupon/Discount with a One Time Payment

Question

Does anyone know if it's possible to accept coupons on a one time transaction with Stripe?

I know you can add coupons with recurring subscriptions but I just want to be able to offer a discount on one time payments.

Answer 1

I think the idea here is that you are in total control of individual charges (or one-time payments, whatever you want to call them). So, you can create whatever coupon mechanism in your own app for charges. At the end of the day you're just telling Stripe "Charge $X.YZ to this card".

It's a little different for subscriptions because they are more structured data. They rely on a plan, which has a set price.

Hopefully that makes sense, but I agree that it's weird that they don't let you apply a coupon to a single charge.
