You ran "free gift over $75." A shopper hit $80, never saw the gift, and checked out without it. You built that offer to thank your best buyers, and only the ones who read the terms got the gift.
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. A progress bar shows how close they are on the way up. The shopper never hunts down a product page or remembers a promo code.

// 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. They do all of that to claim a gift you already decided to give. Most shoppers won't do it. 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. They never have to find the product or enter a code to claim it. The shopper does nothing. You promised a gift, and that 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. A goal they never see cannot change what they add to the cart.
Sledge shows a live cart progress bar toward the free-gift spend goal: "You're $17 away from your free gift." You choose the spend goal and the gift it unlocks. The bar fills as the shopper adds items. They can see exactly how much more to spend and add more to reach it. The goal sits in front of them right when they decide whether to add one more.
// Schedule it, test it
Nothing tells you whether $75 earns more than $90.
Too low, and you give gifts away on orders that were coming anyway. Too high, and nobody reaches it. Either way, the difference is margin you never see.
Sledge A/B-tests your free-gift offer against a second spend goal. Half your shoppers see the $75 goal and half see $90, split evenly per session. You keep the one that earns more. Sledge can also schedule it to run only during the promotion. You stop guessing at the goal.
Your drop might ship 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
Questions, answered
How do I make a free gift automatically add to cart on Shopify?
Sledge free gift with purchase auto-adds the gift to the cart the moment a shopper's spend reaches your goal, so they never have to find the product page or enter a discount code.
Does the shopper need a discount code to get the gift?
With Sledge, no. The gift lands in the cart on its own once the order reaches your goal. Nothing to copy, no product page to find, and nothing to claim after checkout.
Does it show shoppers how close they are to the gift?
Yes. Sledge shows a live cart progress bar toward the spend goal, so shoppers see how much more to spend and add items to reach it.
Can I schedule the gift and test the goal?
Yes, both. You schedule the run dates in Sledge and A/B-test the spend goal, splitting shoppers evenly per session, then keep the version that earns more. Build the next gift as a draft while this one runs, and read its revenue when it's done.
Is the free gift a separate app from my other bundles?
No, it is one app. Free gift with purchase is one of nine offer types your Sledge plan already covers, so you add it without a second subscription.
Is free gift an extra charge?
No. Free gift with purchase is included in the Sledge plan. Development stores are free, and every plan has a 14-day free trial.
Give the gift. Don't make them go find it.
Install free. Set a spend goal and pick the gift. Sledge drops it into the cart the moment a shopper earns it, with the progress bar pulling the order higher.
