Automatic Free Gift App

[KimB95]

Hello

I'm looking for an app that will automatically add a free gift to cart for customers.

I'm planning to change the FREE gift every 24 hours.

Any recommendations?

If you don't find a solution for this, people are using Order Automator app to add free products based on the order contents. This adds the item after the order (if order contains product X, add product Y).

If you're wanting to alter the cart before checkout, you can use the ajax API: https://shopify.dev/docs/api/ajax/reference/cart

Your developer (or you if you're willing to put in some learning time) can use that to add items to cart based on events, for example if customer adds Product A to cart, then add Product B... or on the click of a button, or on landing on a certain page, etc.

Thank you- isn't the " Order Automator" app a bit like Shopify Flow? What's the difference between the two?

You're welcome, hope it helps.

I'm not sure, Shopify Flow came out after Order Automator I've actually never used Flow, but from what I've seen in the forums it handles various automations.

If you have Flow give that a try maybe it will work for your use case, you could also try posting in the Shopify Flow forum board if you have Flow and it seems like something it could do... but if you are wanting to handle this in the theme / before checkout, your best bet would probably be to hardcode the functionality into your theme.
