DiscountUpdate

The following routes are available for this service:
POST/Discount/DiscountUpdateInserts a discount or updates a current discount.Uses your API Key and applies a mvRecordAction value on an mvDiscount object. We can insert the mvDiscount object we specified using "Insert" as our mvRecordAction. We can update a current discount using "Update", we can insert a discount if it doesn't already exist, update a discount if it does exist using "InsertOrUpdate" and we can insert new fields or update non-empty fields of the discount using "InsertOrUpdateNonEmptyFields". Optionally, you can use mvInsertUpdateDeleteSourceApplication when an external application ( eg Magento ) is the one that triggers the DiscountUpdate call. Only the DiscountDescription can be changed during the update.
