Can I pause a discount temporarily?

As an e-commerce manager, I'm looking for a flexible way to pause ongoing discount campaigns without completely deleting them. Sometimes marketing strategies change, or we need to adjust promotions based on inventory, seasonal trends, or unexpected business conditions. I want to understand the best practices for temporarily suspending discounts while maintaining the ability to quickly reactivate them without losing the original campaign configuration.

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Most e-commerce platforms allow discount pausing through settings that disable the code or campaign while preserving its original parameters. Use built-in 'inactive' or 'draft' modes to temporarily suspend promotions without complete deletion.
