The statuses
| Status | At checkout |
|---|---|
| Activated | Running |
| Anything else | Saved, but inert |
That is the whole model. There is no scheduling and no partial rollout — a rule is either live or it is not.
Pausing a rule instead of deleting it
Use Draft when you want to temporarily stop a rule without removing it.
When a rule is set to Draft:
- It stops applying at checkout
- It stays in your rule list
- You can activate it again later without rebuilding it
Use Draft when you are:
- Checking whether a rule is causing a checkout issue
- Running a temporary promotion
- Freeing an active rule slot
Isolating a problem
If several rules could be causing an issue, set them to Draft one at a time.
After each change, reload checkout and test again.
This helps you find the problem without deleting any rules.
Deleting a rule
Deleting is permanent. There is no archive or undo after the rule is deleted.
If you may need the rule again, export it first. You can keep the JSON file and import it later if needed.
Testing after changing a rule status
Always reload checkout after you activate, pause, or delete a rule.
Status changes apply to new checkout sessions, but a checkout page that was already open may still show the old setup.
If a change looks like it did not work, refresh the checkout page and test again.
