How the free gift works
Free gift adds a product to the cart for free once the cart reaches a goal you set, and removes it again if the cart drops back below the goal. Shoppers don’t need to do anything.
To do this, Loto Cart creates a hidden free copy of the product you pick. It never appears in your store pages or search.
Choose the gift
Open Features → Free gift and switch on Add a free gift to qualifying carts. Under The gift, click Choose a gift and pick a product. If it has several variants, choose one and click Use this variant.
To offer something else later, click Change. Loto Cart replaces the hidden copy for you.
Set the goal
Under Goal and messages, choose Minimum amount (a spend threshold in your store’s currency) or Minimum items. The gift itself doesn’t count toward the goal.
Show a progress teaser
Switch on Show progress message in the cart to tell shoppers how close they are to the gift before they qualify. Write the progress message with {amount} where the remaining amount should appear, plus an unlocked message.
The teaser has its own style options: placement (top of the cart or above the checkout button), bar and text colors, goal circles and a celebration when the goal is reached.
What shoppers see in the cart
The gift line is marked FREE, with the product’s normal price crossed out, and its quantity is fixed at 1. If a shopper removes the gift while they still qualify, Loto Cart doesn’t add it back during that visit unless the cart drops below the goal and reaches it again.
