bottom-line discount

Explanation:
See this ref:

Sales Order Confirmation (Billing)
... Discount Amount (to 99,999,999.99). Bottom line discount amount (as opposed
to line item discount) to be deducted from the entire order. ...
www.2mtech.com/ResponseDocs/frmOC.htm

Note that the term 'bottom-line' is used in various different ways, sometimes to mean 'absolute limit', but I think here it is being used in the same sort of sense as your given context --- an overall discount given at the end of the invoice, rather than on a 'per item' basis

footer

Explanation:
pied de page definitely means "footer"
perhaps remise means presentation.
Hard to say without context
