Hi, what we missed the most about discounts on satchmo, was the lack of a possibility to have "real" automatic discounts (real like in no need to have a code for it on checkout, as it was a little confusing for the users) and also to combine multiple discounts for different product/categories (groups) ... like, 20% for Products A, B, C and 50% for Products D, E, F... and so on.
At the End we ended up hiding the code-input-field and using signals to put the code on it during checkout... which was an acceptable "hack" :-), but we still have the problem of not being able to easily define multiple discounts at the same time. There was also a bug, preventing satchmo to find auto-discounts applied to a parent category. I proposed the patch here: https://bitbucket.org/chris1610/satchmo/issue/1352/ It's still not integrated with the satchmo core code, so if anyone is having the same issue, it could be helpfull on the meantime.
