The `DiscountAutomaticBasic` object lets you manage
[amount off discounts](https://help.shopify.com/manual/discounts/discount-types/percentage-fixed-amount)
that are automatically applied on a cart and at checkout. 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 `DiscountAutomaticBasic` object stores information about automatic amount off discounts that apply to
specific [products and variants](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/DiscountProducts),
[collections](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/DiscountCollections),
or [all items in a cart](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/AllDiscountItems).

including limitations and considerations.
> Note:
> The [`DiscountCodeBasic`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/DiscountCodeBasic)
object has similar functionality to the `DiscountAutomaticBasic` object, but customers need to enter a code to
receive a discount.
Access Scopes

it might be lower than the actual usage count until the
asynchronous process is completed.

DiscountAutomatic
The type of discount associated to the automatic discount.
