Gift with Cart Value
Learn how to set up a Gift with Cart Value campaign to give your customers more appealing rewards by following this guide.
Gift with Cart Value campaign is designed to encourage customers to spend more by offering them a free gift once their cart reaches a specific value. This strategy helps increase the store's average order value while also motivating upselling and improving conversion rates. Additionally, by rewarding customers with free gifts, it enhances their shopping experience and builds stronger customer satisfaction and loyalty.
How to set up Gift with Cart Value campaign?
Step 1: Access gift with cart value
From your app, go to Campaigns > Gift with Cart Value to access the campaign, in which you will find a default Campaign name that we created. You are able to change the name to your liking, it is used for you to identify this campaign with others.

Step 2: Set up campaign conditions
Trigger condition

- Customer buys at least: Set the minimum cart value customers need to reach to qualify for the gift.
You can expand Sub-conditions to further refine when the offer applies:
- Exclude product/collection: Choose specific products or collections to exclude from this promotion. The excluded items will not count toward the minimum cart value.
- Include product: The gift only applies when the customer has a specific product variant in their cart. Use this to target the offer to customers buying a particular item.
Step 3: Set up campaign gift
3.1 Gift selection
- Select the gift(s) you want to grant your customers. For instance, you might offer a complimentary gift like a microfibre cloth if customers buy a pair of glasses.

- You can change the quantity of the gift that customers will receive. Merchants utilize this feature to not only boost customers' spending, but also to clear out remaining old items.
- If the gift has multiple variants, you can choose which one you want to offer or leave the decision to customers.
3.2 A/B Testing (optional)
Enable A/B Testing to randomly offer 2 types of gifts to customers. Doing so will help you understand what customers want and create the best offer to boost revenue.

Step 4: Configure discount
The system auto-applies a discount code to your gift. You can edit the code as you like, it will be visible to customers in the cart.
Choose the Discount value type to apply to the gift:
- Free: The gift is given at no cost to the customer.
- Percentage: Apply a percentage discount off the gift's original price.
- Fixed amount: Reduce the gift price by a fixed dollar amount.
- Fixed price: Set a specific fixed price for the gift regardless of its original price.

When the A/B test is enabled, you are able to set different discount types for each option.
Step 5: Advanced settings

5.1 Local currency conversion
Enable this option to automatically convert the minimum cart value threshold to the customer's local currency based on their location. Before using this feature, make sure you have set up Markets in Shopify Admin > Settings > Markets.
5.2 Discount combination
You can let your customers combine this discount with other different types (from Shopify or other campaigns) to let them have the best deal based on their cart. Other discounts you can choose to combine are:
- Product discounts
- Order discounts
- Shipping discounts
5.3 Usage limit (optional)
- Total uses: To create urgency and push customers to act, consider enabling Total uses to limit how many times the gift is available overall.
- Limit to one use per customer: To avoid customers receiving too many gifts from a single discount, you can enable this to restrict each customer to one redemption.
The app will detect and enforce the one-time use per customer if the customer is logged into their member account. If the customer checks out as a guest, this restriction may not apply.
5.4 Multiply gift (optional)
Enable this option to let customers earn an additional gift for each multiple of the threshold spent.
- For example: If the threshold is $100, a customer who spends $200 gets 2 gifts, $300 gets 3 gifts, and so on.
5.5 Gift quantity selector (optional)
Set the maximum total number of gifts a customer can receive. When enabled, enter the value in the Total gifts field.
With this feature, customers can select the same gift product multiple times up to the limit you set, and they can choose different variants for each selection, for example, selecting 1 Black and 1 White of the same item.
