I’m working on a non profit site that wants to sell tickets to events but wants the option to have the Item be available for free. I noticed, if I set the price of a varient to $0, you’re unable to place the order… I love that it still proceeds to checkout and that it doesn’t ask for credit card info, but then you cant place the order .
Is there a solution to this? I just love the idea of all the ticket sales staying under the ‘Orders’ tab. Free or not.
Hello,
Could you set the price of the item at .0001
then when at checkout basically, if the total is less than .01 turn off
the payment requirement and process the sale?
Hello,
Did you have to do anything specific to make this work? I’m having the same issue. It looks like the minimum charge in the US is $0.50 in the US, but it also seems like stripe should be smart enough to simply not run the card if it is a $0 transaction. We want to use the $0 transaction for a promotion. Basically, your first month of membership is free sort of thing.
UPDATE: It is possible to sell items for $0, but it is restricted to the type of item. Digital downloads allow $0. I know that Subscriptions do NOT allow $0. Subscriptions do not allow discounting either. I haven’t tested the other product types to see if they handle $0 transactions, but if you’re running into a very generic error when testing, the $0 may be the culprit.
