Verified steps

  1. Generate an order discount Function extension via the Shopify CLI and select the order discount Function type.
  2. In `run.graphql`, query cart subtotal and any buyer or cart attributes your logic depends on (e.g., customer tags via `buyerIdentity`, cart totals).
  3. In the Function `run` body, evaluate the discount condition (e.g., subtotal above a threshold) and return a `FunctionRunResult` with a single order-level discount target using `orderSubtotals` or the equivalent target type — verify the exact target name against the current Function API surface in Shopify docs.
  4. Register the Function as an automatic order discount via the Admin GraphQL API discount mutation for app-owned automatic discounts, providing the function ID, title, and combine-with settings.
  5. Use the Partner Dashboard Function tracing tool to inspect inputs and outputs for real cart sessions on a dev store.
  6. Deploy to production with `shopify app deploy` and confirm the registration points to the production Function ID.
