Coupons

Overview

Coupons are deductions applied to invoices or invoice line items. They’re designed to be consumed by your customers directly. A coupon deduction can either be for a fixed amount or for a percentage of the amount of the invoice or line item.

Note:

If you wish to provide discounts to your customers via API or the Chargebee app, see Discounts API

Order of application of coupons and discounts

When both coupons and discounts are applied simultaneously to a subscription or one-time invoice, they’re applied in the following order:

	Summary	Description
1	Line-level, fixed amount coupons	`coupon` with `apply_on` = `each_specified_item` and `discount_type` = `flat`
2	Line-level, fixed amount discounts	`discount` with `apply_on` = `specific_item_price` and `type` = `fixed_amount`
3	Line-level, percentage coupons	`coupon` with `apply_on` = `each_specified_item` and `discount_type` = `percentage`
4	Line-level, percentage discounts	`discount` with `apply_on` = `specific_item_price` and `type` = `percentage`
5	Invoice-level, fixed amount coupons	`coupon` with `apply_on` = `invoice_amount` and `discount_type` = `flat`
6	Invoice-level, fixed amount discounts	`discount` with `apply_on` = `invoice_amount` and `type` = `fixed_amount`
7	Invoice-level, percentage coupons	`coupon` with `apply_on` = `invoice_amount` and `discount_type` = `percentage`
8	Invoice-level, percentage discounts	`discount` with `apply_on` = `invoice_amount` and `type` = `percentage`

For example, consider the following scenario:

A subscription is created with:

a plan price of $200 per month
an addon price of $20 per month
a flat $5 invoice discount
a 1% off coupon on the addon
a flat $2 coupon on the invoice

The above coupons and discount are applied in the following order:

	Discount or coupon applied	Subtotal at each step
1	Initial subtotal (plan price + addon price)	$200 + $20 = $220
2	1% off coupon on the addon	$200 + $(20 - 0.02) = $200 + $19.98 = $219.98
3	Flat $2 coupon on the invoice	$219.98 - $2 = $217.98
4	Flat $5 invoice discount	$217.98 - $5 = $212.98

Resource object representing coupon

Copies a coupon over from one site to another. Copying of archived coupons is not supported.

The item prices that are linked to the coupon in the source site are also linked to the coupon in the destination site. However, this will only work if those item prices exist and with the same ids, in the destination site. Hence, it is recommended that the item prices be copied over before copying the coupons.

The value for redemptions is not copied. It is set to 0 for the newly created coupon. Hence, if such a coupon had expired in the source site due to redemptions having reached max_redemptions, it’s status would be active in the destination site.

This API is not enabled for live sites by default. Please contact support to get this enabled.
