Line item discounts
For each that you want to discount, set either a percentOff or amountOff.
To indicate how many products the discount should be applied to, assign an integer to discount.quantity. If you don't define this parameter, then the discount is applied to the entire quantity of that items[].
In the following percent off request, discount.quantity is 1, so the discount isn't applied to the entire quantity of that items[]. In the amount off request, discount.quantity isn't defined, so the discount is applied to the entire quantity.
