Let's see how can we work with coupon in stripe.

Create a route :

Route::get('payment/createcoupon', [paymentController::class,'createCoupon'])->name('create-coupon');

Paymentcontroller.php :

Now we will write code on our controller to create coupon . Basically we can create two types of coupon as follows.

Percent off
Amount off

While creating Amount off coupons , you have to provide currency as an extra parameter . You can get the currency codes for Stripe's official site. While creating amount off coupon make sure to multiply the amount with 100 as stripe by default divides the amount from 100 .

Creating coupon with percent off

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Barryvdh\DomPDF\Facade as PDF;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;

class paymentController extends Controller
{
    public function createCoupon(){
      try{
        // Connect to your stripe account

        $stripe_account = Config('constants.Stripe_account');
        $stripe_secret = $stripe_account['secret_key'];

        $stripe = new \Stripe\StripeClient(
          $stripe_secret
        );
        // create coupon
        $coupon = $stripe->coupons->create([
          'percent_off' => 15,
          'duration' => 'once'
        ]);

        return $coupon;
      }
      catch(\Exception $e){
        Log::error(
          'Failed to create coupon',
          ['message' => $e->getMessage(), 'trace' => $e->getTraceAsString()]
        );
        return false;
      }
    }
}

Creating coupon with amount off

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Barryvdh\DomPDF\Facade as PDF;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;

class paymentController extends Controller
{
    public function createCoupon(){
      try{
        // Connect to your stripe account

        $stripe_account = Config('constants.Stripe_account');
        $stripe_secret = $stripe_account['secret_key'];

        $stripe = new \Stripe\StripeClient(
          $stripe_secret
        );
        // create coupon
        $coupon = $stripe->coupons->create([
          'amount_off' => 15*100,
          'duration' => 'once',
          'currency' => 'INR'
        ]);

        return $coupon;
      }
      catch(\Exception $e){
        Log::error(
          'Failed to create coupon',
          ['message' => $e->getMessage(), 'trace' => $e->getTraceAsString()]
        );
        return false;
      }
    }
}
