Use Discount Specific Item when a merchant wants to discount selected products, selected variants, selected collections, or all items. The template card says: “Apply discount to Product / Variant / Collection. Show strike-through prices on the product & collection pages.” The example shown in AIOD is “20% off on shirts.”

When to use this template

Use this template for:

A percentage discount on selected items.
A fixed amount discount on selected items.
A fixed final price for selected items.

A simple sitewide or storewide discount, because Apply Discount to All discounts all items directly.
Item-level discounts that may need customer, channel, date, purchase type, or cart-condition limits.
