Notes about editing the Shopify discount type

Shopify does not support changing the discount type after the discount has been created. To change the discount type, you will need to create a new discount set.

Workaround:

If you've already distributed or printed your unique discount codes and want to change the discount type:

  1. Export and save the codes from the incorrect discount.

  2. Delete the incorrect discount.

  3. Create a new discount and import the codes to the new set.

Note:

Deletion of the old discount must be complete before reimporting the codes to the new discount set. Discount deletion takes some time and runs in the background of Shopify.

If you encounter an error when reimporting codes, wait a few minutes and then try again.
