Creating a subscription with a discount - how?

[Joseph G]

I'm trying to implement creating a subscription together with a discount of various duration given eg. 1 month, 2 months... I would also like to be able to set the amount of the discount.

Do you have any idea or clue how to do it?

I described my attempt below (it failed).

My first approach was to add a new phase to an existing plan in a catalog every time a discount did not exist. To achieve it, I fetched a catalog and added a new phase to the aimed product. Then, I deleted the product from the catalog and requested an update. Next, I fetched that catalog again, added the product and requested an update. Unfortunately, received an enigmatic error java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to de-serialize catalog for tenantRecordId='7'. I dug a little bit deeper and I found another error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to de-serialize catalog for tenantRecordId='7'.

Do you have any ideas what the cause was or how to fix it?

Hi Joseph,

Could you please look into the PriceOverrides field for the Subscription Resource and check the documentation and example here. It looks suited to your usecase. 

I am also in the meantime checking with the Devs if they can add on more info to this. 

Regards

Karan.
