Set up your first gift campaign.

Before you begin

Use a modern Shopify Online Store 2.0 theme. You need permission to install apps, edit themes, and manage products and discounts.

1. Install Gift Engine

Open Gift Engine in the Shopify App Store. Review the current plan and any trial in Shopify before approving a paid charge.

2. Create a campaign

Choose a condition based on a product, collection or cart subtotal. Select an in-stock gift variant that differs from the qualifying product. Start with a simple offer that you can check in a test cart.

3. Connect the theme

Open Shopify’s theme editor. In App embeds, enable Gift Engine and save the theme. Return to the application and check the connection status for the theme you are testing.

4. Activate and verify

Activate the campaign. In a fresh cart, add qualifying products and confirm one eligible free gift appears. Remove a qualifying item or fall below the threshold and confirm the gift disappears. Confirm the gift is free at checkout.

5. Check combinations

Check inventory, planned Shopify discount combinations and other installed discount apps. Keep the offer terms accurate in your store. Test on a phone as well as a computer.

Troubleshooting

If the gift does not appear, check campaign status, inventory, eligibility and the App Embed on the theme being viewed. If checkout pricing differs, inspect Shopify discount combinations.
