Re-importing Shopify discount codes into Roster is a crucial feature for resolving situations where discount codes or entire discount rules have been mistakenly deleted or deactivated in Shopify. With this process, brands can ensure their ambassadors’ discount codes are restored and fully functional, maintaining a seamless experience for both ambassadors and customers.

### Recreate the discount rule in Shopify (if needed)

1. If the entire top-level discount code (aka the discount rule in Roster) has been deleted in Shopify:
   - Click `Edit Discount Rule` within Roster.
   - Click `Save` 
   - This will force Roster to re-create a top-level discount code in Shopify into which the codes can be recreated. 
2. Verify the discount rule by clicking `View in Shopify` from Roster.
   - Ensure the rule appears correctly in Shopify with all associated codes.
