# Reject Discount Codes

> Advanced Rules template for rejecting specific discount codes when custom conditions are met in AIOD.

Use **Reject Discount Codes** when a merchant wants AIOD to block specific discount codes after matching rule conditions are met.

This template is inside the **Advanced Rules** parent template. In Shopify admin, open **Apps** > **AIOD Discount & Gift** > **Discount Templates**, click **Create** on **Advanced Rules**, then choose **Reject Discount Codes** on the **Select type** page.

The parent card says: "Create custom logic and complex promotions." The parent example shown in AIOD is "Get 20% off shirts, free gift and free shipping."

The inner template card says: "Reject specific discount codes when the rules are met."

## When to use this template

Use this template for:

* Blocking one or more discount codes for a matching cart.
* Preventing a code from being used by certain customers.
* Rejecting codes when a cart contains specific products, collections, variants, purchase types, or destinations.
* Rejecting codes based on cart subtotal, cart quantity, order weight, customer tags, past order count, login status, or customer email.

Use **Custom Rule Builder** instead when the merchant wants to create a discount, not reject discount codes.

## Select discount codes to reject

The **Select Discount Codes To Reject** section controls which codes AIOD should reject.

Controls:

* **Add Code** text input with placeholder `Enter discount code`.
* **Add Code** button.

The **Add Code** button was disabled in the observed empty state. Enter a code first, then add it to the rejection list.

Use this section for the exact discount codes the merchant wants to block.

The **When To Reject Discount Codes** section controls when AIOD rejects the selected codes. The default is **Always**.
