# DiscountAutomaticFreeShipping - admin - OBJECT
Version: 2025-01

## Description
The `DiscountAutomaticFreeShipping` object lets you manage
[free shipping discounts](https://help.shopify.com/manual/discounts/discount-types/free-shipping)
that are automatically applied on a cart and at checkout. Free shipping discounts are promotional deals that
merchants offer to customers to waive shipping costs and encourage online purchases.

The `DiscountAutomaticFreeShipping` object stores information about automatic free shipping 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 [`DiscountCodeFreeShipping`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/DiscountCodeFreeShipping)
object has similar functionality to the `DiscountAutomaticFreeShipping` object, but customers need to enter a code to
receive a discount.

### Access Scopes
Apps must have `read_discounts` access scope.


## Fields
* [appliesOnOneTimePurchase](/docs/api/admin/2025-01/scalars/Boolean): Boolean! - Whether the discount applies on one-time purchases.
A one-time purchase is a transaction where you pay a
single time for a product, without any ongoing
commitments or recurring charges.
* [appliesOnSubscription](/docs/api/admin/2025-01/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.
* [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)

For discounts without a fixed expiration date, specify `null`.

[timeline comments](https://help.shopify.com/manual/discounts/managing-discount-codes#use-the-discount-timeline)

* [recurringCycleLimit](/docs/api/admin/2025-01/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
