The discount type must be provided by an app extension that uses [Shopify Functions](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/functions). Functions can implement [order](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/functions/reference/order-discounts), [product](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/functions/reference/product-discounts), or [shipping](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/functions/reference/shipping-discounts) discount functions. Use this mutation with Shopify Functions when you need custom logic beyond [Shopify's native discount types](https://help.shopify.com/manual/discounts/discount-types). For example, use this mutation to create a code discount using an app's "Volume" discount type that applies a percentage off when customers purchase more than the minimum quantity of a product. For an example implementation, refer to [our tutorial](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/discounts/build-discount-function). *** **Note:** To create automatic discounts with custom logic, use \\\discount\Automatic\App\Create\\\. *** * code​App​Discount [Discount​Code​App​Input!](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/input-objects/DiscountCodeAppInput) required ### Arguments The input data used to create the discount. *** * [discount​Code​App​Update](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/discountCodeAppUpdate) mutation Updates a code discount, where the discount type is provided by an app extension that uses [Shopify Functions](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/functions). Use this mutation when you need advanced, custom, or dynamic discount capabilities that aren't supported by [Shopify's native discount types](https://help.shopify.com/manual/discounts/discount-types). *** **Note:** To update automatic discounts, use \\\discount\Automatic\App\Update\\\. *** * code​App​Discount [Discount​Code​App​Input!](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/input-objects/DiscountCodeAppInput) required ### Arguments The input fields required to update the discount. * id [ID!](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/ID) required The ID of the discount to update. *** *** ## DiscountCodeApp Mutations ### Mutated by * [discount​Code​App​Create](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/discountCodeAppCreate) * [discount​Code​App​Update](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/discountCodeAppUpdate)
