Resolved: Stripe Checkout session with total price and not unit_price

Question:

I’m working on a project currently. and I’m making use of stripe, the stripe.checkout.session.create function works perfectly.


but the only issue i have is it receives only unit price.
but i want a field where i can pass only total Price, cause in my code , if the users applys a discount to a product , it deducts it from the product total price meanwhile the unit price for each product is stable.
My question is basically is there a field where i can pass total price.

Answer:

Short answer is that you can’t. You need to use the line_items parameter and either pass a Price object ID (price_xxx) or use ad-hoc pricing with the price_data parameter. Checkout will then compute the total from all line items, factoring in any discounts that you provide.
You have a couple of options to achieve the behaviour you want:

• Re-calculate the price_data.unit_amount value to reflect the discount applied by your customers.
• Utilise Stripe coupons to apply to the Checkout Session which will take care of the dedication for you.

If you have better answer, please add a comment about this, thank you!
