Does offering a discount impact my customer lifetime value (LTV)? Is there a report for that?

As an e-commerce business owner, I'm concerned about how our discount strategies might affect long-term customer relationships and overall profitability. I want to understand whether offering discounts actually helps or hurts our customer lifetime value (LTV). Are there reliable ways to track and measure the true impact of our promotional efforts on customer retention and total revenue per customer? I need concrete data and insights to make informed decisions about our pricing and marketing strategies.
