Offer a free gift with purchase

A gift with purchase is the friendliest discount there is: shoppers feel rewarded, you protect your margins, and the gift disappears automatically if the cart no longer qualifies.

Why most free gift setups fall apart

Without CornerCart

Gifts need fake $0 products that pollute inventory and reports
Shoppers miss the gift entirely and email support about it
Gift stays in the cart even after items are removed
Every promo needs a developer to set up and tear down

With CornerCart

Gifts auto-add the moment the cart qualifies
Auto-remove when the cart drops below the threshold
Runs on Shopify discounts — inventory and reporting stay clean
Launch or pause a gift campaign in a couple of clicks

How it looks

The gift adds itself

When the cart hits your rule — a product, a collection, or a spend amount — the gift appears in the cart with a strikethrough price. Shoppers see exactly what they earned.

Frequently asked questions

Can shoppers choose their own gift?

Yes. You can offer a single gift or let shoppers pick one from a curated selection right in the cart drawer.

What if the gift product is out of stock?

Gifts are real products, so Shopify inventory rules apply — out-of-stock gifts are simply not offered.

Does the gift mess up my sales reports?

No. The gift is applied through Shopify discounts, so reports show a real product with a 100% discount, not a fake $0 item.
