What happens at checkout
Once you’ve enabled coupons in the @InviteMemberBot and created them in Stripe:
Customers type the promotion code string (e.g.

Troubleshooting & Best Practices
Make sure to share promotion codes and not coupons names or IDs.
Only one discount applies per order (coupon or promotion code).
If a code fails, check it's active, not expired, under redemption limits, and meets any restrictions.
Use memorable, human-readable codes like
SUMMER25. Don’t expose internal IDs likecupon1.
