Must know
- Uses counts paid orders only, one per order, and goes back down when every discounted item on an order is cancelled (one exception, below).
- A checkout in progress holds a capped code’s slot without showing in Uses, so a code can turn shoppers away while Uses is still below the cap.
- Total savings keeps the amounts from the time of purchase, even after you edit the discount. The history’s Line savings does not.
- Redemption history shows only the 20 most recent discounted lines.
1
Open the discount
Go to Settings > Financials > Discounts. Click anywhere on the discount’s row or card, or open the row menu and choose View details.
2
Read the three tiles
Uses is the number of paid orders that used the discount, with the cap beside it if you set one (for example 3/10). Total savings is the dollars taken off across every redemption, not just the ones listed below. Discount is the percentage or dollar amount.

Scan Redemption history
The table has the columns Date, Customer, Item, Invoice and Line savings. The heading counts the rows (for example “5 recent redemptions”). Until an order uses the discount, it reads “This discount hasn’t been redeemed yet.” with “No redemptions recorded.”
- Cancelling some of the discounted items on an order lowers Total savings but leaves Uses alone. Cancelling every discounted item on the order also gives the use back. A partial cancel also frees the per-customer limit for those items, if the discount counts usage by “Qualifying items per customer”.
- The exception: automatic discounts named “Family discount: [program]”, created by Uplifter from older sibling discounts, keep their use and savings when an order is cancelled.
- Starting or abandoning a checkout never changes Uses.
- If a discount applies to every charge, later renewals add to Total savings but not to Uses.
- For a discount brought over from a previous system, Uses starts from the carried-over count. Total savings and Redemption history show only orders taken in Uplifter.
