Error message
a price can't have both a trial period and allowances

Common causes

  • The request adds allowances to a price that has a trial_period.
  • The request includes both allowances and trial_period when creating a price.
  • The request adds a trial_period to a price that has allowances.

Troubleshooting

  • To include allowances, remove the trial period. Omit trial_period when creating the price, or set it to null when updating it.
  • To keep the trial period, remove the allowances. Omit allowances when creating the price, or set it to an empty array ([]) when updating it.
