Hi!

We have this ap ‘Dr Free Gift’ on both of our websites and people are getting a glitch at checkout.

The error message says:
“Please add more products to your cart so you can add this free gift”

It literally stops them from checking out, and even when they have added more to the cart.

it does not happen with every order.

Any ideas , or has anyone else seen this? Particularly after a resolution to solving this so that our customers can complete check out.

Many Thanks,
Bianka

Instead of the checkout, recommending free gift card guidelines in the cart drawer on the product page would be best.

Hi @Windyigan , If you can share the storefront URL, it will help me better understand the issue and provide the right solution.
