Discover how to establish a Gift with Collection Value campaign to give your customers better purchasing experience with our guideline below.

How to set up a Gift with Collection Value campaign?
STEP 1: Campaign setting
1. Pick your campaign type to get started
On your app’s homepage, click on Create Campaign, then select Gift with Collection Value from the list to get started.


Step 2: Create a Campaign name
Campaign name
Now you can create a name for your campaign to help you easily identify it later. Don’t worry — this name won’t be visible to your customers on the storefront.

Step 3: Set up Campaign Trigger
Select collection(s)
In order to create a campaign, you have to decide on what collection(s) to activate. Click Browse to choose the collection(s) applied in this campaign. This could be a specific collection, such as “Best Sellers” or “New Arrivals”
Do:
This campaign is ideal for limited-time promotions like seasonal and thematic collections when you want to maximize sales over a short period.
Minimum collection value
Enter a minimum collection value that customers’ carts from these collections have to meet if they want to receive the gift.

4. Choose the gift for your campaign
Select gift(s)
Pick the product you’d like to offer as a gift when customers reach the required spend in the selected collection(s). This could be any item from your store - like a hat, a shirt, or any product you’d like to reward them with.

Note: To ensure your gift appears on the online store, make sure it has a price greater than $0 and is in stock. Gifts priced at $0 or marked as out of stock won’t be visible to customers.
Do:
If you’ve introduced new products within a collection, adding a gift of that collection can encourage customers to try the new items.
5. Set up Discount
Discount Type
Choose how you’d like to discount the gift. You have three options to consider:
Free – The gift is completely free of charge.
Percentage – Apply a percentage discount to the gift’s price (e.g., 50% off).
Fixed Amount – Deduct a specific amount from the gift’s price (e.g., $10 off).

Discount Combinations
You can allow this gift discount to be combined with other discount types, giving your customers the best possible deal based on their cart. The types of discounts you can choose to combine include:
Product Discounts
Shipping Discounts
Order Discounts
Note: To ensure the discounts from our app can be combined with those from Shopify or third-party apps, make sure you select the same discount types in both our app and the other platform. Matching discount types is key to allowing them to work together seamlessly.
Maximum discount uses
Limit total number of uses: Set the maximum number of times this discount can be applied across all customers. Once this limit is reached, the campaign will automatically expire.
Limit to one use per customer (Premium): To keep things fair and avoid giving out too many gifts in one order, you can turn on the "Limit to one use per customer" option.
Note: This works best when customers are logged into their accounts. If they check out as a guest, the limit might not apply.
6. Other rules
Gift limit (Premium): Decide how many gifts each customer can select from the available gift list. This helps you control how many rewards are given per order.
For example, if you offer 2 different gift products but only want customers to pick one, simply enable “Gift limit” and set the value to 1.


Do:
Letting customers choose their own gift adds a personal touch: It makes them feel more in control and engaged in the shopping experience, leading to higher satisfaction and a stronger connection with your brand.
Exclude customer segment
Select the customer groups you’d like to exclude from this promotion. Customers in these segments won’t be eligible to receive the gift or discount during the campaign. You’ll see a list of available customer segments below to choose from.

7. Customer eligibility

All customers
All customers are eligible to receive the gift as long as they meet the trigger condition.
Specific customer segment
Regarding the specific segment fields shown here, all of them are available in your Shopify admin. If you'd like to use a custom segment, you can create one by going to Customers → Segments in your Shopify admin.
Feel free to share the conditions you'd like to apply — we’ll do our best to help you filter it correctly in Shopify. Or, you can also reach out directly to the Shopify Support Team for more detailed assistance.

Specific link
Only customers who access your store through this specific link will be eligible for the campaign benefits. This feature is great for email campaigns, social media promotions, influencer collaborations, or affiliate marketing.

Customer location (Premium)
You can restrict where the gift is available by setting location rules. Choose specific countries or continents where customers are eligible to receive the gift.

Do:
Limit the duration of the promotion to avoid promotion fatigue.
Don't:
Prolonged sales can diminish the sense of urgency and may cause customers to delay purchases, waiting for future promotions.
8. Set up the schedule for your promotion
If you want your promotion to run for a specific period of time, you can totally set the start and end date/time. Notice that the time zone is based on (GMT- 5:00) America/ New York.
Start date
Set the exact date and time when your promotion should begin. This is when the campaign will go live.
End date (Optional)
(Optional) Set the date and time when your promotion should end. If left blank, the campaign will continue running until you turn it off manually.

Do:
Keep your promotion short and sweet to avoid promotion fatigue and keep customers excited to buy.
Don't:
Running sales for too long can reduce the sense of urgency — customers might hold off on buying now, thinking another promotion will come soon.
STEP 2: Display settings
1. Gift selection method
Decide how your customers will select their gift during the shopping experience. You can choose from three available methods:
Automatically add gift to cart with an announcement bar
The gift is added to the cart automatically, and an announcement bar will notify the customer once the condition is met. (It is recommended if there is one product from the gift list without variants)

Show gift options in a pop-up
When eligible, a pop-up appears allowing customers to choose from multiple gift options.

Show gift options with a floating button
A floating button appears on the page, which customers can click to view and select their preferred gift.

2. Setting widget
Make it yours!
You can customize the widget title to grab your customers’ attention. Each gift selection method comes with its own title and layout.
Plus, you can personalize the look even more by changing the colors and icons to match your brand. How cool is that?

3. Variant picker
Enable this option to let customers choose product variants (like size or color) and select quantities directly in the pop-up. This feature works when your gift product has two or more variants — for example, different sizes or colors.
By default, if you offer multiple gift items, customers can only select one variant type (e.g., 2 items in Black, size S). However, when the variant picker is turned on, customers can mix and match variants more freely. For instance, they can select 1 Blue - Size S and 1 Blue - Size M instead of just one variant type.
Check out the example below!

When you're ready, click Save to launch your campaign.
To make sure it shows up on your storefront, head over to: Online Store > Theme > Customize > App Embeds and turn on the AOV Free Gift app.
