Must know
  • Imported discounts arrive as Draft, so none apply at checkout until you activate them. Once active, they apply automatically, with no code to enter.
  • A Review before activating box lists anything that couldn’t be carried over exactly. Read it before you publish.
  • Usage from your old site counts toward Total redemptions, and imported discounts with that history can’t be deleted.
Where to find them. Go to Settings > Financials > Discounts and set the Status filter to Draft. A disabled discount from your old site imports as Draft too, and its notes say so. One with no start date starts on the day it was imported; one with no end date shows No end date. Reviewing and activating need the Edit Financials permission.
1

Open the discount

Click its row, or choose View details from the row menu.
2

Read the review notes

If anything couldn’t be carried over exactly, a Review before activating box lists each note, such as a narrowed scope, a dropped limit, or carried-over usage. Check each note against the fields below it (Scope, Items) and use Edit to fix anything. If a note says the discount already ended on your old site, give it new dates or it shows as Expired. A clean import shows no box.
3

Mark it reviewed

Click Mark as reviewed. The notes collapse into Import review notes (reviewed), which reopens to show “Reviewed by [name] on [date]”. Activating doesn’t dismiss the notes, so mark them yourself.
4

Put it live

Click Activate to publish it starting today. To keep the start date it imported with, click Edit and then Publish instead.
Usage carries over. Redemptions from your old site count toward Uses and the Total redemptions limit, so a capped discount can arrive partly used. Total savings and Redemption history show only orders placed on your new site, not the ones from your old site. Some imports can’t be deleted. Deleting a discount with carried-over usage is refused: “Cannot delete a discount with purchase or migration history. Set it to expired instead.” A Draft never applies, so you can leave one you don’t want as Draft. Once it’s active, use Deactivate or edit its Valid to date instead. Whole-season discounts. A discount that covered a whole season on your old site follows that season when its name could be matched, so programs you add to it later are covered. Its Seasons row reads “All programs in [season]”. Family discounts in the same list. Sibling discounts once set on individual programs are now automatic discounts named “Family discount: [program name]”.
  • Already live. They started active (not Draft), scoped to that program and set to First charge. The old program rows are read-only.
  • Original pricing kept. They show Preserved program pricing, Payer allowance (preserved) and Orders per payer (preserved rule). Copy from Existing refuses them, and a cancelled order doesn’t give their allowance back.
  • Can’t be deleted, nor can their program: “This program preserves sibling discount history. Archive it instead of deleting it.”
