Discounts
Many online stores offer discounts to customers by one means or another; we can

Discounts based on the customer's role
-
Coupons or gift certifi cates

called Role discount. This page lists a text box alongside each of the roles in
our store, for us to enter the discount for each respective role. Doug wants to
