Giftproof adds your gift product to a shopper's cart when the cart reaches your minimum spend, makes it free, and removes it when the cart no longer qualifies. Setup takes four steps, shown as a checklist on the app's home page.
1. Turn on the app embed
Open the app and select Turn on next to "Turn on the Giftproof app embed in your theme". The theme editor opens at App embeds with Free gift selected. Save the theme.
The embed is what adds and removes the gift in shoppers' carts. The app does not edit your theme code; you can turn the embed off again in the same place.
2. Create a gift
Select Create gift, then fill in:
- Name: shoppers see it next to the gift in the cart and at checkout, for example "Free tote bag".
- Minimum spend: in your store currency.
- Count spend: after discounts (recommended) or before discounts. See Gift rules.
- Gift product: select Choose gift product and pick one product variant. The shopper gets 1 unit of it.
Select Save. The gift then runs on your storefront and at checkout, from its start date.
3. Try it in the cart tester
Open Cart tester from the checklist. Build a sample cart, or start from a preset such as "Just below" or "40% off code", and the tester shows whether the gift is added and free. See Cart tester and Diagnostics.
4. Add the progress message (optional)
In the theme editor, add the Giftproof progress block to your product or cart page. It shows shoppers how much more they need to spend, for example "Spend $12.50 more to get Tote bag free". On some themes, such as Dawn, add it to the cart page through an Apps section. See The progress message.
Before you start
- The gift is your own product. Make sure it is active, published on your Online Store sales channel and in stock. Diagnostics warns you if it is not.
- If your shipping rates depend on weight, set the gift's weight to 0 so its weight does not raise the shipping cost. Even at weight 0, Shopify can add a separate shipping rate for the gift when it is in another shipping profile than the rest of the cart or ships from another location. The gift editor asks you to confirm before saving a gift that needs shipping.
- Turn on Track quantity for the gift and turn off Continue selling when out of stock. Otherwise the gift is added to every qualifying cart, however many you have. The gift editor and Diagnostics tell you.
