If you are migrating to Roster from another ambassador or influencer platform and want to bring over existing shareable discount codes, you can import these assigned codes into a Roster discount rule for proper tracking and management. This ensures ambassadors see their shareable codes in the Ambassador Portal, and that referrals are credited accurately.

## Step-by-step instructions

### Prepare your CSV file

1. Export your existing assigned codes from the platform you're migrating away from or from your e-commerce store. 
2. Ensure your CSV file contains two columns labeled:
   1. `Code` - this column contains the codes to import.
   2. `Email` - this column contains the email addresses of the ambassadors to whom the codes will be assigned in Roster. Ambassadors with these email address must have already been imported into your Roster account.
   3. Each row should contain one and only one pair of code + email address that you want to import.

Download this sample CSV for reference:

### Confirm imported codes

### Verify codes in your e-commerce platform (optional)

1. If the discount rule is linked to a Shopify store, click `Details` > `View in Shopify` to confirm the codes are synced in your Shopify admin panel.
2. For other platforms, ensure the codes you imported into Roster match those in your e-commerce system.
