Step by step guide

Cart Discount

It is implemented on the whole order, the total discount is divided equally on each item. Refer to the below table while creating an order request.

Attribute	Field	Value
Order	subtotal	sum of all lineItemTotal of an order
Order	orderTotal	subtotal + shipping charges
Order	balanceDue	If order is COD, balanceDue = orderTotal
Items	items.discount	Discount(in case of multiple items discount = total Discount/No of items)
Items	items.customerPrice	Selling Price[Inclusive of taxes]
Items	items.lineItemTotal	(Selling Price- Discount)*Quantity

Sample request when cart discount is applied on an order:
