A user story states: 'As a customer, I want to apply a discount code at checkout so I can save money.' The team is discussing acceptance criteria. Which set of acceptance criteria is most testable?

The system should handle discount codes in a user-friendly way.

Discount codes should be applied to the total before shipping is calculated.
