# DiscountCodeApplication - admin-graphql - OBJECT
Version: 2024-10

## Description
Discount code applications capture the intentions of a discount code at
the time that it is applied onto an order.

Discount applications don't represent the actual final amount discounted on a line (line item or shipping line). The actual amount discounted on a line is represented by the [DiscountAllocation](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/discountallocation) object.
