var step1 = RuleFor(customer => customer.Discount);
var step2 = step1.NotEqual(0);
var step3 = step2.When(customer => customer.HasDiscount);

Disclaimer: the working code shown here reflects the initial efforts of a newcomer to using FluentValidation. The code shown probably does not demonstrate "best practices" in using that tool. The "take-away" I would like you to have is that: if someone like me can quickly bumble their way to something that smells like it could be useful ... so easily, so rapidly ... than: you (my technical "betters") will probably have an even easier time.

Besides, what if you want to change:
customer => customer.HasDiscount to customer => customer.HasDiscount || store.OffersPromotionDeal ?

When I think I have an implementation of all this in optimal FluentValidation style, I'll post a link to a working sample as a Tip/Trick.
