How to set up:

To give merchants full flexibility and control, the Floating Button feature is configured in two distinct places, each serving a different purpose:

  • Campaign ( Display setting )

This section lets you define the message content shown inside the Floating Panel for each campaign. It’s campaign-specific because different campaigns may have different offers, tones, or messages.

  • Widget Styling (Gift alerts on qualification)

This section controls how the floating button looks across your storefront, regardless of the campaign. It ensures consistent design and branding across your store.

Step 1: Navigate the Floating Button on the Campaign setting screen

Select the Display setting section on the bar, then choose Floating button (third option). This will activate the floating gift panel on your storefront instead of the pop-up or congrats bar.

Step 2: Customize Floating Button Text

Once selected, configure the following text that will appear on the floating panel.

Floating button

  • Sets the text that appears on the floating button. Keep it short and action-driven to grab attention.

Title

  • Sets the header text in the floating panel once it opens. You should highlight the excitement and exclusivity of the offer.

Description

  • Sets the text that appears below the title in the gift panel to explain what users should do.

Variant Picker (Optional)

  • Toggle it on if your gift products include variants and you want to allow customers to select variants and quantities directly from the floating panel.

Once complete, click Save and publish the campaign.

Step 3: Navigate the Floating button widget

Go to your AOV Free Gift app dashboard. After creating at least one campaign, you can set up the floating button.

In the Widget styling section, select Floating button, then choose Customize the button to start setting it up.

*From the Display setting section, there's a shortcut you can click on the Edit Widget button to navigate to the Customize Widget section. Step 4: Set up the Floating button's style

This section controls the appearance of the floating button and panel across your storefront. These settings apply store-wide, not just to a specific campaign.

Display behavior:

  • Auto-open panel when conditions are met: Toggle to enable the panel to automatically slide in when a customer qualifies for a gift. Use this if you want the gift to appear without requiring a click.

  • Display location: Choose where the button appears on screen. There are two available options, left and right.

Themes: Select a theme preset to apply consistent color styles to your widget.

Widget styles:

  • Floating button: Toggle on the Gradient banner background to use a two-color gradient for the button. If disabled, the button will use a solid background. You can choose the color of the background and the text

  • Icon: Choose one icon to appear on the button

  • Popup: Toggle on the Gradient banner background to apply gradient styling to the panel’s header background. If disabled, the panel will use a solid background. Select the text color for the header and sale price as you want, too.

  • Add To Cart button: Set the background and text color for the “Add to Cart” button inside the panel.

Step 4: Set up the Floating button's content

  • 'Add to cart' button: Customize the text on the button according to the messages you want to deliver.

  • 'Gift(s) selected' text: Customize the selected gift text above the button according to the messages you want to deliver.
