# Discount Specific Item

> Template for discounting specific collections, products, variants, or all items in AIOD.

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 discount that applies to all 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.

Use another template for free gifts, BOGO, volume tiers, shipping discounts, or bundles of multiple discounts.

## Entry point

In Shopify admin, open **Apps** > **AIOD Discount & Gift** > **Discount Templates**.

Click **Create** on the **Discount Specific Item** card. AIOD opens a form titled **Specific Product/Collection**.

## Top-level controls

| Setting                              | Location           | What it does                                                                                                         |
| ------------------------------------ | ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Use Custom Rule Builder**          | Header             | Opens the custom rule builder when the merchant needs more control than this template form provides.                 |
| **Discount ID (For your reference)** | First form section | Internal identifier for the discount. The input placeholder is `eg: GET 20% OFF`. AIOD shows a 64-character counter. |

If no **Title** is set for an automatic discount, the **Discount ID** can be shown to customers instead.

### Status mode

The top-right status dropdown controls who can use or see the discount.

| Status       | Meaning                                                                                |
| ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Live**     | The discount is active for customers.                                                  |
| **Testing**  | The discount is visible to the merchant for testing, but it is not live for customers. |
| **Deactive** | The discount is turned off.                                                            |

## Discount method

The **Discount Method** section has two modes.

### Automatic discount

Choose **Automatic discount** when the discount should apply automatically at cart or checkout.

Settings shown in this mode:

* **Title**: Customer-facing discount title.
* **Keep same as identifier**: Copies the **Discount ID** into the title.

AIOD explains that customers see the title in their cart and at checkout.

### Discount code

Choose **Discount code** when customers must enter a code at checkout.

Settings shown in this mode:

* **Discount Code**: Code input.
* **Generate random code**: Generates a code.
* **Copy discount code**: Copies the current code.
* **Add bulk discount codes**: Opens a bulk-code dialog.
* **Maximum Discount Code Uses**: Usage limits that only appear for code discounts.

The bulk-code dialog has two modes:

* **Enter manually**: Enter comma-separated codes. Example format: `SUMMER10, VIP2026, SAVE20`.
* **Generate**: Generate many codes with **Prefix (optional)**, **Suffix (optional)**, and **How many codes**. The maximum shown is 10,000 codes. AIOD shows sample generated codes before review.

Usage limit settings:

* **Limit number of times this discount can be used in total**: Reveals a numeric input.
* **Limit to one use per customer**: Restricts each customer to one use.

## Select items to apply discount on

The **Select items to apply discount on** section controls the discount target.

| Target option                             | Picker shown           | Empty state                 |
| ----------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | --------------------------- |
| **Apply Discount to Specific Collection** | **Select collections** | **No collections selected** |
| **Apply Discount to Specific Product**    | **Select products**    | **No products selected**    |
| **Apply Discount to Specific Variant**    | **Select variants**    | **No variants selected**    |
| **Apply Discount to All**                 | No picker              | None                        |

The collection picker opens a searchable Shopify resource picker. It shows collection rows, product counts, and checkboxes.

## Discount value

The **Discount Type** dropdown controls how AIOD interprets **Discount Value**.

| Discount type         | Meaning                                                                           |
| --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Percentage**        | Discount value is a percent off the target items.                                 |
| **Fixed Discount**    | Discount value is a fixed amount off the target items.                            |
| **Fixed Final Price** | Discount value is the final price for every single quantity of the selected item. |

When **Fixed Final Price** is selected, AIOD shows this helper text: "Final price of every single quantity of the above selected item."

## Sales channel

The **Sales channel** section controls where the discount applies.

Available channels:

* **Online store**
* **POS**

Both are checked by default.

When **POS** is enabled, **All locations** opens an inline location selector. It includes:

* Search input with placeholder `Search store`.
* **All Locations** checkbox.
* Location rows such as **Shop location** with country information.

## Customer segment

The **Customer Segment** section restricts the discount to selected customer segments.

AIOD describes this section as: "This discount will be only applicable for customers in the selected segments."

Use **Customer segments** to choose eligible Shopify customer segments. If the store has no available segments, the list can appear empty.

### How should this discount combine with other discounts?

Read [**This discount can be combined with**](/docs/app/common-template-settings#this-discount-can-be-combined-with) for information about this.

## Active dates

The **Active Dates** section controls when the discount starts and ends.

Default fields:

* Start **Date**
* Start **Time**

Enable **Set end date** to reveal:

* End **Date**
* End **Time**

## Advanced settings

Click **Show** in **Advanced Settings (Optional)** to reveal advanced controls.

### When to apply discount

The **When to apply discount** section controls conditions. The default is **Always**.

The condition picker contains these options:

| Category           | Conditions                                                                               |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| General            | **Always**                                                                               |
| Cart/Order Details | **Cart Subtotal Amount**, **Order Weight**, **Cart Quantity**                            |
| Product Details    | **Product**, **Collection**, **Variant**, **Variant Whose Metafield**, **Purchase Type** |
| Shipping Address   | **Country**                                                                              |
| Customer Details   | **Customer Tags**, **Number of past orders**, **Customer Should Be Logged In**           |

Use these conditions when the discount should apply only for a qualifying cart, item, customer, purchase type, or destination.

### Where to apply the discount

The **Where to apply the discount** section has two radio options:

* **Product Level**: Applies the discount to individual line items.
* **Order Level**: Applies the discount to the whole order total once at the end.

**Product Level** is selected by default.

### Discount rules and limits

The **Discount Rules & Limits** section includes optional constraints.

| Setting                                                                                     | Behavior                                                                                                                                      |

| **Limit Quantity of Discounted Items**                                                      | Reveals a numeric quantity input. The default shown is `1`.                                                                                   |
| **Apply discount on the LEAST expensive items**                                             | Available after **Limit Quantity of Discounted Items** is enabled. If disabled, AIOD states the discount applies to the most expensive items. |
| **Combo Discount**                                                                          | Available after **Limit Quantity of Discounted Items** is enabled.                                                                            |
| **Multiply based on condition**                                                             | Disabled in the observed default state. Helper example: "Buy 2 get 1, buy 4 get 2."                                                           |
| **Exclude already discounted items from discount (whose compare at price > selling price)** | Excludes already-discounted items based on compare-at price.                                                                                  |

### Purchase type eligibility

The **Purchase Type Eligibility** dropdown controls whether subscription and one-time purchase items qualify.

Options:

* **One-time purchase**
* **Subscription**
* **Both**

**Both** is selected by default.

AIOD explains that the discount only applies to the selected purchase type items.

Enable **Limit the number of subscription cycles the discount will apply to.** to reveal a numeric cycle-count input.

## Show discounted price crossout

Read [**Show Discounted Price Crossout**](/docs/app/common-template-settings#show-discounted-price-crossout) for the shared storefront strikethrough pricing controls and placement steps.

## Save and rule size

The form has a **Save** button.

AIOD also shows Shopify function rule size information, such as:

* **Rule Size: 1.10 KB / 10 KB**
* **NOTE: This limit is set by Shopify**

Mention the rule size when a merchant asks about Shopify limits or why a discount cannot include unlimited logic.

## AI answering guidance

When an AI answers a merchant question about this template:

* Refer to the app page as **Specific Product/Collection**.
* Use **Discount Specific Item** as the template name.
* Ask whether the merchant wants **Automatic discount** or **Discount code** if the prompt does not say.
* Ask what the target is: collection, product, variant, or all items.
* Ask for discount type and value.
* Ask about channels, customer segments, combinations, dates, and advanced limits only when relevant.
* Do not claim the strikethrough option is always enabled. State that it appears in this template and can be gated by valid discount configuration. Link to [Show Discounted Price Crossout](/docs/app/common-template-settings#show-discounted-price-crossout) for the shared UI details.
