How to Implement a Double Sided Referral Program with Stripe Checkout?

we're selling access to our product which has a monthly/yearly subscription. We're using Stripe Checkout to manage our subscriptions. How do I implement double sided rewards for our users (e.g. if a friend signs up with someone's promo code, they both get $25 off the price of their subscription).

It sounds like you want to have PromotionCodes being linked to unique Customers in Stripe, which is something you would track on your end. Like promo_123 and promo_456 are related to cus_2.

Then, if cus_1 redeems a PromotionCode that was linked to cus_2, that PromotionCode applies to cus_1's Subscription and reduces the amount due on the Subscription's Invoice for cus_1.

Once that Subscription is created and PromotionCode redeemed, you would create a -$25 InvoiceItem [0] on cus_2 to give them a discount on their next Invoice.
