texte = Stephen,the verb your are after here is addlineitem. That means you want to actually add a product to the shopping cart. In this case the product will just so happen to have a negative price (i.e. it's a discount). You can add a lineitem to a shopping cart via the add command or via the [addlineitem] context.
