Steps
Confirm the app has the "Manage Pricing & Discounts" permission and is not within 30 days of release or a base-price increase
Open the Discount Management dashboard and enter the desired discount percentage for the target sale window
Check the discount against Steam's bounds: 10-95% for standard discounts, 10-40% for Launch Discounts, and 1-14 day duration limits
If stacking with a Seasonal Sale, note seasonal sales are exempt from the 30-day discount cooldown that applies to custom/self-serve discounts
Coordinate DLC/Deluxe Edition discounts to run at the same time as the base game to avoid diluting exposure
Known gotchas
A product cannot be discounted for 30 days after release or after any base-price increase in any currency; only Launch Discounts can run at release
Bundle discounts stack on top of any discount already applied to the bundled packages, which can produce a steeper effective price than intended
Editing or deleting a discount is only possible before it goes live; once a sale starts, the percentage is locked
