Can I blacklist abusive customers from discounts?

As an e-commerce store owner, I'm struggling with customers who exploit our discount systems by creating multiple accounts, sharing codes, or repeatedly abusing promotional offers. I need a reliable method to prevent these bad actors from taking advantage of our marketing efforts while maintaining a fair and positive customer experience. What strategies can I implement to identify, track, and effectively blacklist customers who repeatedly misuse our discount campaigns?

TL;DR - Quick Answer

You can exclude specific customers from Growth Suite campaigns by using audience targeting rules that exclude customer segments, email addresses, or purchase history patterns. In Shopify, tag customers you want to exclude and configure Growth Suite campaigns to skip visitors with that tag.

Excluding Abusive Customers from Discount Campaigns

While Growth Suite single-use codes prevent most discount abuse structurally, there are legitimate reasons to exclude specific customers - returns abusers, chargebacks, or account policy violations.

How to Exclude Customers

  1. In Shopify admin, add a tag (e.g., 'discount-excluded') to the customer profile
  2. In Growth Suite, go to your campaign audience settings
  3. Add an exclusion rule: Customer tag does not include 'discount-excluded'
  4. Save and update all relevant campaigns

Important: Exclusions require the customer to be logged in, since tagged exclusions rely on customer account recognition. Guest checkout visitors cannot be tagged-excluded. For guest abuse patterns, focus on behavioral signals and offer fatigue prevention settings.
