Edits to your rules never reach checkout on their own. They stay a draft until you review and publish them, and every publish can be undone from History.
Publish your changes
- When you have a draft, the You have unpublished changes banner shows. Customers still see your live rules.
- Select Review & publish.
- Check the Changes.
- Fix anything under Fix these before publishing. Read Worth a look for things to check.
- Select Publish (the button shows how many changes), then confirm.
The banner shows the progress, then Live at checkout. Customers see the change within a minute.
Rules under Not going live yet need a fix or a test first. Select Fix to open the rule.
Throw away a draft
- On Review & publish, select Discard.
- Your rules go back to what customers see now.
Restore an earlier version
- Go to History.
- On the version you want, select Restore.
- The confirm says Restore this version? It goes live at checkout now. Select Restore. If you have unpublished changes, the button is Discard changes and restore.
The version is published right away. Customers see it within a minute.
Turn a rule off without deleting it
- Open the rule and set Status to Paused, or choose Pause in its menu in the list.
- Publish the change.
Troubleshooting
- Publishing didn’t finish: checkout still shows your previous rules and your changes are kept. Select Retry.
- Something’s blocking the update to Shopify: checkout still shows your previous rules. Check Alerts, or chat with us.
