Checkout Webhook not including Automatic Discount Code

[ui-gab]

Checkout webhooks like, checkout/update and checkout/create do not fill in the discount code in the field when an automatic discount is applied.

I currently have the checkout/create and checkout/add webhooks pointed to my server where I can log the results of the webhooks.

I've created a test FIX14 automatic discount.

The automatic discount is automatically applied in the checkout process, but when the webhook fires, I do not see any discount codes in the webhook.

    "total_tax": "0.00"
}

By Default it should appear in the field: "discountcodes": [] , but instead it is empty. As you can see that the total_price does not reflect the line item and is discounted, but there is no explanation for the discount.

This appears to be a bug.

Hi,

This is an inbuilt Shopify feature only one discount code can be applied at a time.

Sorry, but I don't think you have understood what I have written above.

I'm not looking to add new discount codes. This automatic discount code has already been applied. It just doesn't show up in webhooks.

Hi there,

Hanna here from Shopify, thanks for reaching out 🙂

I heard back from my team and they let me know that this is currently a known limitation of automatic discounts!

• No API: Automatic Discounts are not currently available via API, this includes Dynamic Checkout, "Buy Now Button" and Buy Button sales channel

This forum post looks to have more info on that as well: https://community.shopify.com/c/Shopify-APIs-SDKs/Is-API-available-for-getting-automatic-discount-co...

We are always looking to built out features more so hopefully this is one day added!

Hello, I found some another issue with automatic discounts and webhooks, in your cart.json you are showing applied discount type

"cart_level_discount_applications": [
    {
      "type": "automatic",
      "key": "99f96fbc-9377-4376-ab92-398747d09a7d",
      "title": "auto",
      "description": "",
      "value": "50.0",
      "created_at": "2019-12-06T08:18:42.793Z",
      "value_type": "percentage",
      "allocation_method": "across",
      "target_selection": "all",
      "target_type": "line_item",
      "total_allocated_amount": 500
    }
  ]

but in cart update webhook does send this info
