# discountAutomaticAppUpdate - admin - MUTATION
Version: 2025-01

## Description
Updates an existing automatic discount that's managed by an app using
[Shopify Functions](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/functions).
Use this mutation when you need advanced, custom, or
dynamic discount capabilities that aren't supported by
[Shopify's native discount types](https://help.shopify.com/manual/discounts/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](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/discounts/build-discount-function).

> Note:
> To update code discounts with custom logic, use the
[`discountCodeAppUpdate`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/discountCodeAppUpdate)
mutation instead.
