Requires Apps must have read_discounts access scope.

The DiscountCodeBasic object lets you manage amount off discounts that are applied on a cart and at checkout when a customer enters a code. Amount off discounts give customers a fixed value or a percentage off the products in an order, but don't apply to shipping costs.

The DiscountCodeBasic object stores information about amount off code discounts that apply to specific products and variants, collections, or all items in a cart.

Note

The DiscountAutomaticBasic object has similar functionality to the DiscountCodeBasic object, but discounts are automatically applied, without the need for customers to enter a code.
