Amount Off Line Item
Some options to mention here:
- Max Applications - this can be used to limit the number of times the action is applied to the basket.

Amount Off Basket
The Max Applications can be set here - see Amount Off Line Item above.
Amount Off Cost
The Cost Name needs to be specified here. This name needs to match the Cost name passed to the /evaluate endpoint in the Processor API.

Tiers allow a different action value based on a condition. E.g. you could give VIP customers 10% off and other customers 5% off.
