Run a discounts report
A discounts report shows you the amount and number of discounts applied to transactions through GoDaddy Payments during the reporting period. You can generate a discounts report through the Dashboard in your web browser or on your GoDaddy smart terminal.
Discounts reports include a summary of each type of discount, a daily total for all discounts, and a breakdown of each order or transaction in which a discount was applied, including the transaction ID, tax type and order status.

The discounts report includes an overall summary of the type and total dollar amount of applied discounts at the top, followed by an order breakdown. The breakdown includes the transaction and order ID, name of the applied discount, total order amount, discount amount and order status for each order.
