Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently there seems to be no way to add discounts to subscriptions. I looked over the Stripe plugin documentation but i do not see any way to add discounts.

Describe the solution you'd like

Would be really nice to be able to add coupon, as I had to create 2 different plans and manually subtract the value of the coupon from the original price so that I can add it as an "discount" plan for my users.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've check all the stripe plugin documentation and there's no discount / coupon way to add for a subscription.

Additional context

No response

There doesn't seem to be a way via the current API to set allow_promotion_codes :(

No, but what we did was to use the stripe api and created a different integrated session for that part. A bit more work to do, but currently we didn't find any other way

Good to know. I am also considering to separate stripe logic without using this plugin. Thanks.

My use case is to have a discounted price for first 1000 registration, so probably what I will do is to directly set the price in stripe to the discounted price and keep using better auth plugin until it supports coupon code...

Yes that can work as an alternative and the easiest approach.

I actually was able to allow promotion codes via the session params override
Which solved the issue for my use case

 subscription: {
  enabled: true,
  getCheckoutSessionParams: async () => {
    return {
      params: {
        allow_promotion_codes: true,
      },
    };
  },

Yes it will work for promotion codes, but in my use case, I am using coupon unfortunately :( and I dont want to allow promotion codes either. But anyway, thanks and good to know this approach.

Hi, @zapobyte. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the better-auth team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

  • You requested native support for adding discounts or coupons directly to subscriptions in the Stripe plugin.
  • Currently, users must create separate plans with adjusted prices to simulate discounts.
  • Other users like MarkLee425 and DrewJohnsonGT have shared workarounds, including using promotion codes via session params or the Stripe API directly.
  • The main limitation remains that coupon support is missing, and promotion codes are only a partial workaround.

Next Steps:

  • Please let me know if this issue is still relevant with the latest version of better-auth by commenting here to keep the discussion open.
  • If I don’t hear back within 7 days, I will automatically close this issue.

Thanks for your understanding and contribution!
