How it sells itself

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.

GiftUnlock adds a progress bar to your cart that shows shoppers what they unlock next: a free gift with purchase, free shipping, or buy more, save more discounts. Unlock the gift by spend or by chosen products, set tiers that take a percentage off the whole cart, and show the offer on product pages. The gift is your real product, so stock stays accurate, and discount codes set to combine keep working.

Key points
  • 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.
  • Free gift with purchase, unlocked by spend or by chosen products
  • Free shipping goal with a live progress bar in the cart
  • Buy more, save more tiers that take a percentage off the whole cart
  • The gift is your real product, so your stock stays accurate
