Can I roll back problematic discount changes?

As an e-commerce manager, I'm worried about accidentally creating discount rules that might negatively impact my store's performance. I need to understand the process of rolling back discount changes if something goes wrong, especially during high-stakes periods like holiday sales. What are the best practices for maintaining control and having a safety net when implementing new promotional strategies?

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Roll back problematic discount changes in Growth Suite by pausing the active campaign and reverting to the previous settings. If a campaign was recently edited, you can restore previous values manually by editing the campaign settings back to their original configuration. For significant issues, deactivate the campaign entirely and create a new one with the correct settings.

Rolling Back Problematic Discount Changes

Discount misconfiguration can result in unexpected campaign behavior - wrong discount amounts, incorrect targeting, or technical errors. Having a rollback procedure prevents extended impact.

Rollback Procedure

  1. Pause the campaign immediately to stop any further incorrect offers
  2. Document the current (incorrect) settings before changing anything
  3. Restore settings to their last known-good configuration
  4. Test the restored configuration with a test session
  5. Re-activate the campaign only after verification

Prevention: Before making changes to active campaigns, document the current settings in a note. This gives you a reference point for manual rollback. Consider creating a copy of important campaigns as backup before editing the live version.

Impact Assessment After Rollback

After rolling back, check Analytics to determine how many visitors received incorrect offers during the incident window. For orders where customers received an incorrect (too-high) discount, decide whether to honor or adjust - honoring is usually the better trust-preserving choice.
