Body Parameters
Targeting
Use either the order or item body parameter and different incentive.target values based on the scope of the discount you want to provide.
Item-Level Discount for an Individual Item
Use "item": <Item Public ID> body parameter to provide the item public ID
Use "target": “item” within the incentive parameter
Item-Level Discount for All Items in the Order
Use "order": <Order Public ID> body parameter to provide the order public ID
Use “target”: “item” within the incentive parameter
Order-level discount
Use "order": <Order Public ID>” body parameter to provide the order public ID
Use “target”: “order” within the incentive parameter
Shipping-Level Discount
Use "order": <Order Public ID>” body parameter to provide the order public ID
Use “target”: “shipping_total” within the incentive parameter
Discount Limits
A "discount limit" can be specified using the limit_value and limit_policy parameters.
Limit Policy
The fixed policy indicates that the limit_value parameter value should be interpreted as a hard-coded dollar value limit for the discount. This limit will apply to the specified incentive.target. For example, if incentive.target=item, then the limit will apply to each individual item - meaning the total discount applied could be greater than the limit value, but the individual discount for each item will not be greater than the limit.
Limit Value
The limit_value must be an integer, the exact meaning of the provided input will be determined based on the specified limit_policy.
