# Quickstart

> How to choose right template for your discount campaigns.

## Getting started with AIOD

This guide provides a quick tour of the AIOD - Automatic Discount and Free Gift app, highlighting the main features and where to find different types of discount templates.

<Info>
  It's important to note that all promotions created with the AIOD app are built on Shopify's native discount functions, ensuring reliability and compatibility with your store. We do not use any hacks to create discounts.

  If you need help finding the right setup or integrating a widget, you have several support options:

  * Reach out to our support team [here](https://tawk.to/chat/676bd45049e2fd8dfefd941b/1ifujams1) or via **in-app chat**.

### Step 1: Select Discount Template

While you can use AIOD's custom rule builder to create super custom offers, AIOD also offers several pre-built templates that you can use to get started immediately.

<Tip>
  AIOD has **two** main options that you'd find across the discount forms.

  1. **WHEN** - **eligibility conditions**: the condition when the discount should trigger
  2. **THEN** - **eligible products**: the items that should get the discount.
</Tip>

Click on <kbd>Create New Discount</kbd> in your AIOD Dashboard or click on **Discount Templates** in app's left menu bar to open AIOD discount template page.
