I am currently working on a project and facing a problem with a task. I am trying to randomly generate a 6 digit coupon number and post it to chargify account via there API. If the coupon creation is successful I want the same coupon code to be send to the customer through Email.

As per chargify documentation this is how I should send all the details to chargify from my application :

{"subscription":{
      "product_handle":"[@product.handle]",
      "customer_attributes":{
        "first_name":"Joe",
        "last_name":"Blow",
        "email":"joe@example.com"
      },
      "credit_card_attributes":{
        "full_number":"1",
        "expiration_month":"10",
        "expiration_year":"2020"
      },
      "coupon_code":"6 digit random code"
    }}
    """

https://[@subdomain].chargify.com/subscriptions.json.

I am able to create a 6 digit random numerical code by this method :

rand(999999).to_s.center(6, rand(9).to_s).

However this does not seem to be working for me. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

    I’m not part of our tech or dev staff, but I’m 99% sure you can only specify a previously-defined coupon code in that API call. You must define coupon codes in the Chargify admin web interface. In the API call above, you can apply a coupon to the subscription, but the assumption is that you already defined that coupon code in the admin interface.

    We will add that capability in the future, but I don’t have a specific date for you.

    Sorry about that.
