You ran "free gift over $75." A shopper hit $80, never saw the gift, and checked out without it. The deal you built to thank your best buyers punished them for missing the fine print.
A free gift that adds itself. At the spend goal you set.
A gift only works if the shopper gets it. The moment a cart crosses your spend goal, Sledge drops the free gift in on its own, with a progress bar showing how close they are on the way up. No product page to hunt. No promo code to remember.

// The gift nobody saw
"Spend $75, get a free gift." Then you make them go find it.
A native gift-with-purchase qualifies the shopper, then asks them to leave the cart, search your store for the gift, add it by hand, and come back, all to claim something you already decided to give. Most won't. They check out, miss it, and feel cheated when they notice later.
A reward you have to chase isn't a reward. It's a chore with a discount attached.
Sledge free gift with purchase auto-adds the gift to the cart the moment the shopper's spend reaches your goal, so they never have to find the product or enter a code to claim it. The shopper does nothing, and the gift you promised is the gift they get.
// The progress bar
A shopper who can't see the goal can't reach for it.
A spend goal hidden in a banner does nothing. The shopper at $58 has no idea they're $17 from a free gift, so they never add the one thing that gets them there. An invisible lever never gets pulled.
Sledge shows a live cart progress bar toward the free-gift spend goal: "You're $17 away from your free gift." It fills as the shopper adds items, so shoppers see how close they are and add more to reach it, with the goal sitting in front of them right when they decide whether to add one more. The gift stops being a checkout surprise and becomes a reason to grow the basket.
// Schedule it, test it
The gift goal you guessed at might be costing you margin.
Is the right goal $75 or $90? Too low, and you give gifts away on orders that were coming anyway. Too high, and nobody reaches it. Either way you won't know which.
So test it. Sledge A/B-tests your free-gift offer and schedules its run dates, so you keep the spend goal that measurably sells more instead of guessing: half your shoppers see the $75 goal, half see $90, split evenly per session, and you keep the one that earns more. Schedule it to run only during the promotion, build the next as a draft while this one runs, and read its revenue when it's done. Test everything. Keep what wins.
Shipping the drop later? Fixed bundles, Buy X Get Y, and volume discounts can launch as pre-orders, with a deposit where your payment gateway and region support it. See pre-order
