[Shopify's native discount types](https://help.shopify.com/manual/discounts/discount-types).

### Access Scopes



## Fields
* [appliesOnSubscription](/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-10/scalars/Boolean): Boolean - Whether the discount applies on subscription items.
[Subscriptions](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/launch/billing/subscription-billing/offer-subscription-discounts)
enable customers to purchase products
on a recurring basis.
* [combinesWith](/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-10/input-objects/DiscountCombinesWithInput): DiscountCombinesWithInput - The
[discount classes](https://help.shopify.com/manual/discounts/combining-discounts/discount-combinations)
that you can use in combination with
[Shopify discount types](https://help.shopify.com/manual/discounts/discount-types).
* [endsAt](/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-10/scalars/DateTime): DateTime - The date and time when the discount expires and is no longer available to customers.
For discounts without a fixed expiration date, specify `null`.
* [functionId](/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-10/scalars/String): String - The
[function ID](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/functions/input-output/metafields-for-input-queries)
associated with the app extension providing the
[discount type](https://help.shopify.com/manual/discounts/discount-types).
* [metafields](/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-10/input-objects/MetafieldInput): MetafieldInput - Additional metafields to associate to the discount.
[Metafields](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/custom-data)
provide dynamic function configuration with
different parameters, such as `percentage` for a percentage discount. Merchants can set metafield values
in the Shopify admin, which makes the discount function more flexible and customizable.
* [recurringCycleLimit](/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-10/scalars/Int): Int - The number of billing cycles for which the discount can be applied,
which is useful for subscription-based discounts. For example, if you set this field
to `3`, then the discount only applies to the first three billing cycles of a
subscription. If you specify `0`, then the discount applies indefinitely.
* [startsAt](/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-10/scalars/DateTime): DateTime - The date and time when the discount becomes active and is available to customers.
* [title](/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-10/scalars/String): String - The discount's name that displays to merchants in the Shopify admin and to customers.
