## Fields

* [Automatic​Discount​Application.targetSelection](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/latest/objects/AutomaticDiscountApplication#field-AutomaticDiscountApplication.fields.targetSelection)

  OBJECT

  An [automatic discount](https://help.shopify.com/manual/discounts/discount-methods/automatic-discounts) applied to a cart or checkout without requiring a discount code. Implements the [`DiscountApplication`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/current/interfaces/DiscountApplication) interface.

  Includes the discount's title, value, and allocation details that specify how the discount amount distributes across entitled line items or shipping lines.

* [Cart​Discount​Application.targetSelection](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/latest/objects/CartDiscountApplication#field-CartDiscountApplication.fields.targetSelection)

  OBJECT

  Captures the intent of a discount source at the time it was applied to a cart. This includes the discount value, how it's allocated across entitled items, and which line types it targets.

  The actual discounted amounts on specific cart lines are represented by [`CartDiscountAllocation`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/current/interfaces/CartDiscountAllocation) objects, which reference this application.

* [Discount​Application.targetSelection](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/latest/interfaces/DiscountApplication#fields-targetSelection)

  INTERFACE

  Captures the intent of a discount at the time it was applied. Each implementation represents a different discount source, such as [automatic discounts](https://help.shopify.com/manual/discounts/discount-methods/automatic-discounts), [discount codes](https://help.shopify.com/manual/discounts/discount-methods/discount-codes), and manual discounts.

  The actual discounted amount on a line item or shipping line is represented by the [`DiscountAllocation`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/current/objects/DiscountAllocation) object, which references the discount application it originated from.

* [Discount​Code​Application.targetSelection](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/latest/objects/DiscountCodeApplication#field-DiscountCodeApplication.fields.targetSelection)

  OBJECT

  Records the configuration and intent of a [discount code](https://help.shopify.com/manual/discounts/discount-methods/discount-codes) when a customer applies it. This includes the code string, allocation method, target type, and discount value at the time of application. The [`applicable`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/latest/objects/DiscountCodeApplication#field-DiscountCodeApplication.fields.applicable) field indicates whether the code was successfully applied.

Implements the [`DiscountApplication`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/current/interfaces/DiscountApplication) interface and includes a title, optional description, and the discount value as either a fixed amount or percentage.

* [Script​Discount​Application.targetSelection](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/latest/objects/ScriptDiscountApplication#field-ScriptDiscountApplication.fields.targetSelection)

  OBJECT
