Note: Even for adding new “Promotional Credit”, the UI will say “Update Promotional Credit”
Via APIs
Chargebee’s APIs are supported on multiple language platforms. Listed below is documentation to add and remove promotional credits.
Add/Deduct Promotional credits.
Notes:
. These credits are more like discounts. They are another form of discount and hence are applied before tax, whereas Adjustment and Refundable Credits are handled the same way as payments and hence applied after tax.
. Promotional credits will automatically be adjusted to an upcoming invoice if available
. Promotional credits are added to the customer level and will apply to all subscriptions under the respective customer.
