Hi. You can do this without using an app. I have used this prebuilt section https://shop.shopioso.com/products/shopify-gift-with-purchase-section-no-app

Hey @EzelLondon :waving_hand:

You can easily set up a Cart Progress Bar that adds gift upon hitting the threshold using Monk from the Shopify App Store. Full disclosure, I’m part of the Monk team.

Monk supports multi-tiered gifting campaigns, so you can offer different gifts or rewards at multiple spend thresholds, or any other condition that would like to set up, like the number of products added to the cart, etc.

You can also fully customize the progress bar design to match your store’s look and feel.

Monk blends seamlessly with your native cart and doesn’t hijack or replace it, ensuring a smooth and consistent checkout experience for shoppers.

hi @EzelLondon

if you don’t want use an app now yet, and instead of you want use an solution customize on theme, just let me know. It’s depend to your goal.

If you just want add a progress bar and can setup if buyer add to cart achieve the quantity or total amount cart, and then will add a gift to cart, that can be done by customize theme.

But if you want to a solution can setup multi product with other gift different on each, the solution here you should use an app.

HI everyone!:waving_hand:

Apologies for jumping in again on a post from a year ago, but I’ve got 2 big updates for anyone looking to set up a cart progress bar:

:one: You can now easily create a tiered, beautiful, and high-converting progress bar that:

  • Real-time progress toward gift thresholds

  • Customized colors and styling

  • Condition based on cart value or cart quantity

  • Can filter by customer’s country or specific products

  • Includes tiered goals to motivate customers to reach higher rewards!

:two: This is available for users of the BOGOS: Free Gift Bundle Upsell app (free plan available), so I definitely encourage you to give it a try!

Wish you the best with your business!
