# Removing discount allocation method "one"

This is a possibly breaking call, where there's no way for Shopify to know if your app is using the 'one' value. As a result, we will not delist any app that continues to get this warning.

As of API version 2020-07, we're updating the allocation method for discounts that have set the `target_selection` as `explicit`. Currently, Shopify applies these discounts to a single line item, which corresponds to an allocation method of `one`. With this change, the allocation methods will instead include "each" and "across".

We're making this change to add "each" functionality, and simplify the discount syntax, as "one" and "across" functionally both discount the final price by a set amount.

This change also affects `discount_applications` on the following webhook payloads :

`orders/cancelled`

`orders/create`

`orders/fulfilled`

`orders/paid`

`orders/partially_fulfilled`

`orders/updated`
