Indicates whether the discount is a fixed amount or percentage, or entered at the time of sale.
The percentage of the discount as a string representation of a decimal number, using a .

Do not use this field for amount-based or variable discounts.

Indicates whether a mobile staff member needs to enter their PIN to apply the discount to a payment in the Square Point of Sale app.
The color of the discount display label in the Square Point of Sale app. This must be a valid hex color code.
Indicates whether this discount should reduce the price used to calculate tax.
Most discounts should use MODIFY_TAX_BASIS
. However, in some circumstances taxes must be calculated based on an item's price, ignoring a particular discount. For example, in many US jurisdictions, a manufacturer coupon or instant rebate reduces the price a customer pays but does not reduce the sale price used to calculate how much sales tax is due. In this case, the discount representing that manufacturer coupon should have DO_NOT_MODIFY_TAX_BASIS
for this field.
If you are unsure whether you need to use this field, consult your tax professional.
