Can I track conversion rates for each discount?

As an e-commerce manager, I'm constantly trying to understand the true impact of my discount strategies. I want to know exactly how each discount campaign performs, not just in total revenue, but in terms of actual conversion rates. How can I track which discounts are truly driving sales versus just eating into my margins? I need a systematic way to measure the effectiveness of different discount types, durations, and targeting approaches to make data-driven marketing decisions.
