# Kite App: Getting Started

${youtube}[Kite App: Getting Started](S4bmenIB6GI)

This guide provides a quick tour of the Kite dashboard to help you navigate templates and select the right promotion type for your store.
### The Dashboard & Templates
When you first log in, you will land on the **Dashboard**. While the exact layout may vary depending on your setup stage, you will see a list of **Discount Templates** as you scroll down.
* **Purpose:** These templates come with pre-configured settings to help you launch common offers quickly without starting from scratch.
### Creating a New Promotion
To view the full suite of available offers, navigate to the **Create New Promotion** tab. Here, you will find specific categories tailored to different strategies:

**1. Free Gift Category** Ideal for "Gift with Purchase" campaigns. Options include:
* **Automatic Addition:** Automatically adds the gift to the cart when rules are met.
* **Multi-Selection:** Allows customers to choose their preferred gift from a list.
* **Goal-Based:** Progress bars that unlock gifts at specific spend thresholds.
**2. Buy X Get Y (BOGO)** Use this for classic "Buy One, Get One" deals. You can set conditions based on:
* Collections
* Product Types
* Product Tags
**3. Other Promotion Types**
* **Tiered Discounts:** Offer higher percentage off for higher spend (e.g., Spend $100 get 10%, Spend $200 get 20%).
* **Free Shipping:** Create standalone free shipping offers.
* **Custom Discount Builder:** A "blank canvas" for advanced merchants who want to build a specific discount structure from the ground up.
### Technical Note: The Native Engine Advantage
> **Built on Shopify Native Functions** Kite does not use "hacks" or draft order manipulation to create discounts. All our offers are built directly upon **Shopify’s Native Discount Engine**. This ensures maximum stability and compatibility with your store's checkout process.
