  OBJECT

  The `DiscountCodeNode` object enables you to manage [code discounts](https://help.shopify.com/manual/discounts/discount-types#discount-codes) that are applied when customers enter a code at checkout. For example, 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. Or, you can offer discounts where customers have to enter a code to get free shipping. Merchants can create and share discount codes individually with customers.
