yes, trade discounts is also called functional discounts I wish I could improve this answer since it does not address the actual question of what these discounts are, but I am also looking for that answer, so hopefully someone will actually take the time to read the question before answering it.
Trade discounts can reduce profit margins for sellers, as they lower the selling price of goods. This discount may also lead to confusion in pricing strategies, making it challenging to maintain consistent pricing across different customers. Additionally, frequent trade discounts can devalue a brand's perceived worth and lead to expectations of lower prices from customers in the future. Lastly, managing trade discounts can complicate inventory and accounting processes.
Percents are used to calculate tax on EVERY store purchase,and to calculate discounts on every "special" or "bargain".If you can't calculate percents, you can't catch mistakes or avoid being cheated.

Trade discounts are guranteed discounts a business is getting by purchasing from a seller. Cash discounts are OPTIONAL discounts that a buyer gets if they opt to pay their bill (invoice) earlier then the due date. The seller specifies in the invoice how many days earlier a buyer has to pay their bill to get the cash discount. If a cash discount is taken, it is applied after the trade discounts, but before shipping and handling charges.
Net sales = Total sales - sales returns and discounts
Trade discounts are typically offered by manufacturers or wholesalers to retailers and distributors as an incentive to buy in bulk or to encourage loyalty. These discounts are applied to the list price of products and are not usually reflected in the invoice; instead, they reduce the initial price before any sales tax is calculated. Commonly, trade discounts apply to various goods, including electronics, clothing, and industrial equipment, and may vary based on the buyer's purchase volume or business relationship.

Trade discount is the discount that is deducted from the source and then the actual amount is shown. The trade discounts are not shown in the books of accounts. Only the cash discount is shown in the books of accounts but the trade discount will be deducted from the actual and the net amount will be considered.
