Managing discount codes
You can manage existing discounts in a variety of ways.

Use the discount timeline
After you create a discount, a timeline outlining its activity history displays on the discount's settings page.
The timeline displays the date and time that a discount is created, as well as when a discount is active or expired. It also displays the date and time that edits to a discount are saved, but it doesn't describe the specific edit made.
In addition to tracking a discount's creation and edits, the timeline lets you and your staff make comments to provide more detail about activity related to a discount.
Steps:
- From your Shopify admin, click Discounts.
- Click the name of the discount that you want to view the timeline for.
- Scroll to the Timeline section of the discount's settings page.
- Enter a comment in the text box.
- Optional: Add any of the following details:
- Click the emoji face to add emoji to your comment.
- Click the
@
sign for a list of your store's employees to mention specific staff in your comment. - Click the
#
sign to reference specific orders, draft orders, customers, products, variants, or transfers in your comment. - Click the paperclip icon to attach a file to your comment.
- Click Post to add your comment to the timeline.
If you want to delete a comment from a discount's timeline, then click the X in the comment box.
Promote a discount using a shareable link
You can use a shareable link to promote a discount on social media, in emails, and on landing pages. The default shareable link can direct customers to your store's home page, to a specific collection, or to a specific product page. The discount code associated with the link applies automatically to your customer's next checkout cart, or to any active carts they have open.
Shareable discount links work only for active discounts. Before you can create a shareable discount link, you need to create and save a discount code featuring the products or collections you want to link to. If you run multiple discounts on a single product, then the most recent discount applies to your shareable discount links.
