  The `DiscountNode` object enables you to manage [discounts](https://help.shopify.com/manual/discounts), which are applied at checkout or on a cart.

  Discounts are a way for merchants to promote sales and special offers, or as customer loyalty rewards. Discounts can apply to [orders, products, or shipping](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/discounts#discount-classes), and can be either automatic or code-based. For example, you can offer customers a buy X get Y discount that's automatically applied when purchases meet specific criteria. Or, you can offer discounts where customers have to enter a code to redeem an amount off discount on products, variants, or collections in a store.
