Discounts code market independent

Extensions
1

I’m building a loyalty app that creates one‑time fixed‑amount discount codes per customer using the Admin GraphQL API:

Operation

Open GraphiQLCopy

“customerGets”: {

“value”: {

“discountAmount”: {

“amount”: “4.00”,

“appliesOnEachItem”: false

}

},

“items”: { “all”: true }

}

My problem:

  • The shop base currency is, for example, USD.

  • The checkout/market currency is INR.

  • When I set discountAmount.amount = 4.00, the code applies roughly ₹374 off, not ₹4 off. So it’s clearly being interpreted in shop base currency and then converted.

Questions:

  1. Is there any way in the Admin or Storefront GraphQL APIs to create a fixed-amount discount code whose amount is defined in the buyer’s presentment/market currency (for example, exactly ₹4 off in INR), rather than in the shop’s base currency?

  2. If not, what is the recommended pattern for apps that need “X units off in the buyer’s currency” when using discountCodeBasicCreate?

    • Is the only supported approach to:

      • Fetch a market-aware price or FX rate (for example via productVariant.contextualPricing),

      • Convert the desired presentment discount (e.g. ₹4) back into the shop base currency, and

      • Use that converted base-currency value in discountAmount.amount?

I want to confirm there is no first-class way to specify discount amounts in market currency, and that deriving base-currency amounts via contextualPricing/FX is the correct and supported approach.
