Delete or deprecate a charge type

Deleting a charge type removes the type from the charge type list. It will no longer be available or visible in Smile.

Warning: Deleting a charge type permanently removes the charge from the Smile database. To avoid data loss, we recommend that you only delete new charge types that were created in error.

To close a charge type, without deleting it, we recommend deprecating the type.

Note: Deprecating a charge type will not affect existing users. The deprecated option will not be available for new users.
