Feature Request: Subscription Coupon Input Implementation

[flechilla]

Description

Implement the ability for users to apply a coupon code when they are purchasing a subscription for the first time. This feature will include:

• Showing a modal with an input field for users to enter a coupon code during their first plan upgrade.
• Sending the coupon code to the server-side where it will be applied programmatically to the user's Stripe subscription.

  Motivation

• Increased Conversion: Providing a coupon input can incentivize first-time subscribers and potentially increase the conversion rate.
• Marketing Tool: Coupons serve as a powerful marketing tool for promotions and special events to attract new customers.
• Customer Satisfaction: It enhances the user experience by allowing price flexibility and rewards for loyalty or promotional participation.

  Use Cases

• Promotional Campaigns: Users can take advantage of special promotional campaigns by entering provided coupon codes.
• Referral Rewards: Reward users that have been referred to the service by existing customers with a discount on their first subscription.
• Seasonal Discounts: Allows the application of seasonal discounts, such as Black Friday or holiday sales, to encourage sign-ups during specific times of the year.

  Expected Behavior

• When a user chooses to upgrade their subscription, a modal window should appear prompting them to enter a coupon code.
• The system should validate the coupon code for authenticity and applicability.
• Once a valid coupon is entered, its value should be applied to reduce the subscription cost.
• The adjusted price should be clearly displayed before the user finalizes their subscription purchase.
• If the coupon is invalid or expired, the system should display an appropriate error message.

  Suggestions/Ideas

• Coupon Management Dashboard: Implement a dashboard for administrators to create and manage coupon codes and their respective rules (expiry date, discount amount, etc.).
• Real-time Validation: Validate the coupon in real-time as the user inputs it, providing immediate feedback.
• Coupon Restrictions: Ability to set restrictions on coupon usage such as one per customer, specific plan eligibility, or a minimum subscription duration.
