Campaign's name

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”

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.

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

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.

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.

  • 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.

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.

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?

  • Announcement bar

  • Pop-up

  • Floating button

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.
