Standard
Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureDaily Drops puts a calendar of numbered doors on your store for any holiday, launch or event. One door opens each day with a reward you chose: money off, a gift with purchase, shipping at no cost, a gift card or something to read. Pick the rewards and Daily Drops drafts the day-by-day schedule and wording. You approve every day before anything is created in Shopify.
When the cart reaches the total you set, the gifts go in on their own. When it drops back below, they come out. Nobody checks out with a gift they did not earn, and nobody emails you about one they did. You choose the total and up to three products. Shoppers don't pick which gift they get, only whether to keep each one. Every gift is free in the cart, at checkout, and on the order, and cannot unlock itself.
- Run calendars of 5 to 31 days for any holiday, launch or event
- Get a day-by-day schedule and wording drafted for you, then approve each day
- Gifts go into the cart by themselves, at no charge, once the order qualifies
- Show it on its own store page, in any theme section or by link
- One cart total unlocks the gift, in whatever currency the shopper sees.
- The gift drops in at the total and comes back out if the cart shrinks.
- Any product or variant in your catalog can be the gift.
- You write the line shoppers read on the gift, up to 120 characters.
