I have a beta test and my product is going live this week. I have a “Pro Tier” for new users, but I want current Beta Testers to have the option of a “Founders Tier” where they get 50% off for 1 year.  
Not sure how to best do this…. but what I have setup is to have the discounted tier “HIDDEN” and then I can add the Beta testers who want to continue manually. My question is…. how will the Stripe payment work in this scenario? I tested it myself and there is no record in the customers area on Stripe.

Hi @dougfresh,

Would a coupon work for you?

In Stripe under Product Catalogue, you can create coupons

Add a name, select percentage off (50%), your product (pickaxe) and duration (12 months).

Once created, you can share it with your users, and they will have the 50% discount applied at checkout.

Yes like @ab2308 said, a coupon code in stripe that the customer could paste in, would be the best way.
