Auto apply discount code through Web Pixel: RestrictedUrlError

[daniel-roster]

We are trying to migrate from our own injected ScriptTag to the Web Pixel. In our current implementation, we are able ensure a discount code is applied by making a request to `https://{store}.myshopify.com/discount/{code}`. When you are in the checkout page the code will be applied.

However, when using the Web Pixel, that same request throws the following error:
`RestrictedUrlError: Request are not allowed to the same origin`. 

Is there a workaround for this? Or is this intended behavior? We need this functionality for our app.

Hi Daniel,

Instead of directly making a request to apply the discount code, you can use the Checkout API to apply the discount code programmatically. Using the Checkout API, you can create a new checkout, add items, and apply a discount code with the `applied_discount` property.

Hope this helps!
