For prepaid subscriptions, discounts can be added but quantities cannot be modified or items removed.
Why it matters
This feature creates significant time savings and reduces the potential for errors, directly impacting inventory and customer satisfaction. Merchants can adapt to customer needs more quickly and with greater flexibility.
Role-specific impact
