Discounts changes
A new feature has been added to the discounts. It allows you to track the usage of discounts. In the upgrade process all existing discounts will be converted to be used as unlimited. If you have any discounts that were not upgraded, you can use the following code snippet to upgrade them:
var discounts = ordersManager.GetDiscounts().Where(d => d.IsActive);
foreach (var discount in discounts)
{
if (discount.Usage == 0 && discount.DiscountUsed == 0)
{
discount.Usage = -1; //Set usage to maximum
}
}
ordersManager.SaveChanges();
