# DiscountAutomaticBasic - admin - OBJECT
Version: 2025-01

## Description
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
Apps must have `read_discounts` access scope.


## Fields
* [asyncUsageCount](/docs/api/admin/2025-01/scalars/Int): Int! - The number of times that the discount has been used.
For example, if a "Buy 3, Get 1 Free" t-shirt discount
is automatically applied in 200 transactions, then the
discount has been used 200 times.
This value is updated asynchronously. As a result,
it might be lower than the actual usage count until the
asynchronous process is completed.
* [combinesWith](/docs/api/admin/2025-01/objects/DiscountCombinesWith): DiscountCombinesWith! - 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).
* [createdAt](/docs/api/admin/2025-01/scalars/DateTime): DateTime! - The date and time when the discount was created.
* [customerGets](/docs/api/admin/2025-01/objects/DiscountCustomerGets): DiscountCustomerGets! - The items in the order that qualify for the discount, their quantities, and the total value of the discount.

which is useful for subscription-based discounts. For example, if you set this field

subscription. If you specify `0`, then the discount applies indefinitely.
