description

This is the seller-defined "tag line" for the offer, such as "Save on designer shoes."

The tag line appears under the "offer-type text" that is generated for the discount and is displayed on the offer tile that's shown on the seller's All Offers page, and on the event page for the discount.

Note: Offer-type text is a teaser that's presented throughout the buyer's journey through the sales flow and is generated by eBay. The offer-type text is not editable by the seller—it's derived from the settings in the discountRules and discountSpecification fields—and can be, for example, "Extra 20% off when you buy 3+".

Maximum length: 50

Required if you are configuring CODED_COUPON, ORDER_DISCOUNT, or MARKDOWN_SALE discounts (and not valid for VOLUME_DISCOUNT discounts).

Note: For volume pricing, you must specify at least two and not more than four discountBenefit/discountSpecification pairs. In addition, you must define each set of rules with a ruleOrder value that corresponds with the order of volume discounts you present.
