Promotion codes, upsells and cross-sells

You can use Payment Links and the Stripe Dashboard to offer discounts, allow customers to upgrade their subscriptions, and market related products during checkout.

Add promotion codes

When you create a payment link in the Stripe Dashboard, you have the option of adding promotion codes. Customers can enter these codes on their payment page to apply discounts on their purchases.

Create a promotion code in the Dashboard by creating a coupon and then turning it into a customer-facing promotion code. Use the prefilled_promo_code URL parameter to pre-fill a promotion code when sharing a payment link. Learn more about how to generate promotion codes for Checkout.

Increase revenue potential with subscription upsells

Subscription upsells give customers the option to upgrade to a longer-term plan during checkout, such as progressing from monthly to yearly. This strategy might enhance your average order value and improve your cash flow.

You can configure a subscription upsell in the Dashboard on the Price detail page. You can view the details for a price by clicking on one you’ve added to a product. You’ll see a list of eligible upsell prices in the dropdown menu. After you select an upsell, it immediately applies to eligible payment links that use that price.

To set up a subscription upsell:

1. Choose a subscription under Subscriptions, navigate down to Pricing.
2. Use the overflow menu to select View price details.
3. Navigate down to Upsells, and in the Upsells to dropdown menu, select or add a price.

Offer cross-sells

Use cross-sells to give your customers the option to purchase related products through payment links.

To configure a cross-sell:

1. Click the desired product in Products, then navigate down to Cross-sells.
2. From the dropdown menu, pick the product you want to cross-sell.

After you configure a cross-sell, any designated payment link and checkout page cross-sells the configured product from the dropdown menu.
