For routine notices, no emotion
The code [优惠码] is valid only for orders over [最低消费金额] and does not apply to excluded items. Please review your cart total and selected products.

When the customer keeps pushing and you need to hold a clear line
We’re unable to apply [优惠码] after an order has been submitted. Discount codes must be entered and accepted at checkout before payment is completed.
The code [优惠码] cannot be combined with sale prices, bundle offers, or other promotions. This condition applies to all eligible orders.
This code was issued for [适用客户条件] only and cannot be transferred or reused on another account. We’re unable to make an exception to this policy.
After reviewing your order, we can confirm that the purchase does not meet the terms of [优惠码]. We’re therefore unable to honor the discount for this order.

About these phrases: each is sorted by CS scenario and tone, with a Chinese back-translation. What matters isn’t just translation accuracy but whether the line lands well in a CS context — because a literal “we can’t refund you” may already have offended the customer.
