How to apply free gift on checkout for subscription only/one-time purchase products [Shopify Plus]
${youtube}[How to apply free gift on checkout for subscription only/one-time purchase products Shopify Plus]
This guide explains how to restrict a "Free Gift on Checkout" offer so that it applies only when a customer has a specific type of product in their cart—either a subscription product or a one-time purchase product.
1. Access the Free Gift Rule
First, navigate to the rule you want to modify. You can either create a new "Free Gift on Checkout" promotion or edit an existing one.
- Open the Kite app.
- Go to the Free Gift on Checkout section.
- Click on the specific rule you wish to configure (e.g., "Sample Free Gift").
2. Configure Subscription Eligibility
The settings to control subscription vs. one-time purchase eligibility are located within the additional settings of the rule.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the rule configuration page.
- Locate and open the Additional Settings section.
- Find the Eligibility settings for subscription products option.
- Select the option that matches your goal:
- Subscription products only: The free gift will only be added if a subscription product is in the cart.
- One-time purchase only: The free gift will only be added if a standard, one-time purchase product is in the cart.
- All products: (Default) The free gift works for both subscription and one-time purchase items.
3. Save Your Changes
Once you have selected the correct eligibility setting, ensure you save the rule to activate the restriction.
- Click Save.
- Test the setup on your store by adding a subscription product to your cart and proceeding to checkout to verify the gift appears. Then, try with a one-time product to ensure the gift does not appear (if you selected "Subscription products only").
