Creating a Gift With Purchase Offer

Delight your customers with a free item when they meet a purchase threshold

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Gift With Purchase (GWP) offers are a simple but powerful way to increase conversion rates and average order value. When shoppers meet a spend or quantity requirement, they automatically receive a free gift—no code required. FERMÀT makes it easy to set this up in just a few steps.


What’s in this guide:


What customers will see

Once a Gift With Purchase is active, shoppers will see the free gift appear directly in their cart when they meet your defined threshold—no extra clicks, no discount code needed.

This creates a seamless experience that rewards customers while nudging them toward higher-value purchases.


Setting up your GWP offer

  1. Go to the Offers tab in the left-hand navigation

  2. Click + Add Offer

  3. Choose Gift With Purchase from the list of offer types

  4. Fill out the form with the following fields:

Offer details

  • Internal Offer Name – for internal reference only

  • Display Text – what customers will see in the cart

  • (Optional) Existing Discount Code – only use if you've configured a matching Shopify discount

You can also enable Display-Only Offer if the discount is handled in Shopify and only needs to be surfaced visually in FERMÀT.


Customer buys

Choose the type of threshold required to unlock the gift:

  • Minimum quantity of items or

  • Minimum purchase amount

Then specify:

  • Which products it applies to

  • Purchase type (e.g., one-time vs. subscription)


Customer gets free

Set:

  • Quantity of free item(s)

  • Eligible product(s) the customer will receive

  • Purchase type for the gifted item

Use the search and browse bar to find your gift product from synced inventory.


Banner message

Add a custom message to display in the cart or funnel page, like:
“You’ve unlocked a free gift!”

  1. Click Save

  2. Apply the offer to any funnel where you want this promotion active


Applying the offer to a funnel

Once your GWP offer is saved, follow these steps to activate it in a funnel:

  1. Go to the Funnels tab and select the funnel where you want to apply the offer

  2. In the funnel editor, navigate to the Offers tab

  3. Scroll to the Offers section and click Manage Offers

  4. Find your Gift With Purchase offer and toggle it on

  5. Click Save to confirm changes

Your funnel is now configured to trigger the offer based on the conditions you set.


Offer limitations

FERMÀT currently does not support:

  • More than one Gift With Purchase offer per funnel

  • Using virtual bundles as the gifted product

To offer multiple gifts, we recommend setting up separate funnels for each offer.
