Auto Add to Cart/Free Gift With Purchase

IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS FEATURE IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT, AND NOT YET LIVE.

Our app will soon support creating "auto add to cart" offers, where 1 or more product variants are automatically added at checkout when specific conditions are met.

Use Cases

Offering a free gift with purchase (ex. Spend $300 or more, get this item for free)
Automatically adding "shipping protection," "purchase protection," or similar warranties to the cart

How it works

Similarly to discounts, you will use the advanced logic builder to create these types of offers.

Instead of adding "Apply discount" steps at the end, though, you will add "Add to cart" steps.

These offers use a different Shopify API (called the Cart Transform API), so there are some key differences.

Because these are not discounts, and are cart transforms instead, the products will only be added to order at checkout.
For all cart lines that meet the logic you set, the cart transform will "expand" it into what is basically a bundle of items, containing the original item, and any items your logic said to add to the cart.

Limitations of auto add to cart offers

Because these are cart transforms (not actual discounts), they currently have some limitations:
They do not support setting a start date/end date
They cannot be "activated/deactivated," only created/deleted
Cart transforms only support fixed amount discounts (not percentage, fixed price, etc.)

As we continue development of this feature, we will try to work around these API limitations.

Can auto add to cart offers combine with other discounts?

If the "trigger" product had any discounts on it, then that discount will carry over to the "expanded" line item.

Where does it show up in the Shopify admin dashboard?

You'll be able to view your add to cart offers in our app, or in "Settings > Checkout > Checkout rules" in your Shopify admin dashboard.
