Debug Mode

For detailed discount tracking, enable the plugin’s debug panel in settings (WPify → Discount Rules → Debug mode). The panel shows an overview of all rules — whether they are active, filter and condition validation results, pool state, and applied discounts. This allows you to see exactly what is being applied and what is not, and why.

See Troubleshooting for more details.
