How do I set up an A/B test for my discounts in Growth Suite?

I'm looking to optimize my e-commerce store's discount strategy but I'm unsure how to systematically test different approaches. I want to understand how to set up A/B tests for my promotional campaigns that will help me identify which discount methods drive the most conversions and revenue. My goal is to move beyond guesswork and make data-driven decisions about my pricing and promotional strategies, but I'm not sure where to start or what specific parameters I should be testing.
