Activate and Approve a Discount
If you entered an activation date and approved a discount, your discount automatically activates on the date selected. Discounts automatically deactivate on any specified expiration date, or when a specified maximum number of discounts are taken.
If you approve a discount without entering an activation date, the discount becomes active as soon as you approve it.
You can activate a discount from the:
Discounts list with the Approve & Activate action, especially if you are re-activating an expired discount, approve and activate a discount that was not previously approved, or to override a planned activation date.
Note: Important: The Approve & Activate option overrides any activation date set when configuring the discount. The discount becomes active immediately. To preserve an activation date that is in the future, approve the discount from the configuration flow, rather than from the discount list.
