discountAutomaticAppUpdate

mutation

Requires write_discounts access scope.

Updates an existing automatic discount that's managed by an app using Shopify Functions. Use this mutation when you need advanced, custom, or dynamic discount capabilities that aren't supported by Shopify's native discount types.

For example, use this mutation to update a new "Volume" discount type that applies a percentage off when customers purchase more than the minimum quantity of a product. For an example implementation, refer to our tutorial.

Note

To update code discounts with custom logic, use the discountCodeAppUpdate mutation instead.
