How to Create a Gift with Purchase Rule

A Gift with Purchase rule allows you to offer customers a free gift when they meet specific conditions, such as spending a certain amount or purchasing a required number of items. You can configure gift tiers, select gift variants, restrict eligibility by country or customer details, and choose when the rule should be active.

Follow these steps to create a Gift with Purchase rule in Ruleify.

 

Step 1: Open Gift Rule

Open your Ruleify dashboard.

Under the Create Discount Rule section, click Gift Rule to start setting up a new gift rule .

 

Step 2: Enter the Gifts Name

Under Basic Configuration, enter a name for your gift rule.

Choose a name that helps you identify the rule easily.

Example: Free Gift on Orders Over $100

 

Step 3: Configure Discount Tiers

The Discount Tiers section lets you define the conditions customers must meet to receive a free gift. You can create multiple tiers to offer different gifts based on the order subtotal or the number of items purchased.

3.1 Tier Name

Enter a name to identify the gift tier.

Example: Free Gift on Orders Over $100

3.2 Goal Type

Choose the condition customers must meet to qualify for the gift.

Subtotal (currency): The gift is offered when the eligible order subtotal reaches the specified amount.

Example: Set the threshold to 100 to require an eligible subtotal of $100.

Quantity (items): The gift is offered when the customer purchases the required number of eligible items.

Example: Set the threshold to 3 to require 3 eligible items.

Choose the option that matches your offer.

3.3 Threshold

Enter the minimum order subtotal or quantity the customer must meet to qualify for the gift.

Examples:

Subtotal: Enter 100 to set the threshold at $100.

Quantity: Enter 3 to require 3 eligible items.

3.4 Discount Type

Select Free Gift (100% off) to offer a free gift when the customer meets the configured conditions.

Example: If you offer a mug as a gift, the customer can receive the selected mug for free when they qualify for the gift rule.

3.5 Country Restrictions (Optional)

Use this option if the gift tier should be available only to customers in specific countries.

Search for and select the countries where the offer should apply.

Example: Select the United States if you want the gift offer to be available only to customers in the United States.

If you leave this field empty, the tier can apply to all countries.

3.6 Gift Variants

Select the product variants you want to offer as gifts.

Example: If you want to offer a free mug, search for the mug product and select the appropriate variant.

3.7 Gift Stacking

Choose whether customers can receive gifts from multiple qualifying tiers.

Stack gifts from all qualifying tiers: Enable this option if customers should receive gifts from every tier they qualify for.

Disabled (default): Only the highest qualifying threshold tier's gifts are awarded.

Example: Suppose you configure two tiers:

Tier 1: Spend $100 and receive a free mug.

Tier 2: Spend $200 and receive a free T-shirt.

If gift stacking is enabled, a customer who qualifies for both tiers can receive gifts from both tiers.

If gift stacking is disabled, the customer receives the gift associated with the highest qualifying threshold tier.

3.8 Save the Tier

After configuring all the required fields, click Save Tier to save your gift tier.

 

Step 4: Configure Eligibility Check

The Eligibility Check section defines the minimum conditions that must be met before Ruleify evaluates the gift rule.

For example, you can restrict the gift offer to specific products, collections, or customers.

4.1 Product Conditions

Specific Products: Select the products that qualify for the gift discount.

Specific Collections: Select the collections whose products qualify for the gift discount.

Example: If you want to offer a free gift when customers purchase products from your T-shirt collection, select that collection.

If you do not select any products or collections, the gift discount can apply to all products.

4.2 Combine Product and Customer Tags

Choose how the product conditions and customer tags should work together.

AND: Both conditions must be met.

OR: Either condition can be met.

Example: Suppose you select the T-shirt collection and target customers with the VIP tag.

AND: The customer must meet the product condition and have the VIP tag.

OR: The customer can qualify by meeting either condition.

Choose the option that matches your gift offer.

4.3 Customer Tags

Enter customer tags if the gift rule should be available only to customers with specific tags. After enter customer tags in the required fields, click Add to apply the tag .

Example: Enter VIP and select the tag to target VIP customers.

Only customers who meet the configured tag conditions can qualify.

4.4 Customer Segments

Select customer segments if you want to target customers who belong to particular Shopify customer segments.

Example: Select your repeat-customer segment if you want to offer the gift to customers who belong to that segment.

If you select multiple segments, a customer can match any one of the selected segments.

 

Step 5: Set the Gift Rule Schedule

Use the Schedule section to configure when your gift rule should become active and when it should end.

5.1 Start Date

Select the date when the gift rule should become available.

5.2 Start Time

Select the time when the gift rule should become available.

5.3 Set End Date

Enable Set End Date if the gift rule should stop being available at a specific date and time.

Example: If you want to offer a free gift from November 1 to November 7, configure the appropriate start and end dates and times.

 

Step 6: Configure Combinations

The Combinations section lets you choose whether your gift discount can be combined with other types of discounts.

6.1 Combine with Order Discounts

Enable this option if the gift discount can be combined with eligible order discounts.

Example: Customers may receive a free gift while also receiving an eligible discount on their order.

6.2 Combine with Product Discounts

Enable this option if the gift discount can be combined with eligible product discounts.

Example: Customers may receive a free gift and a discount on eligible products in the same order.

6.3 Combine with Shipping Discounts

Enable this option if the gift discount can be combined with eligible shipping discounts.

Example: Customers may receive a free gift and a shipping discount on the same order.

Discount combinations are subject to your configured rules and Shopify's discount-combination requirements.

6.4 Block Discount Codes When Gift Is Applied

Enable this option if you want to prevent customers from using discount codes when the gift discount is active.

When enabled, any discount code entered by the customer will be rejected while the gift discount is active.

Example: If a customer qualifies for your free-gift offer and enters another discount code at checkout, the code will be rejected.

6.5 Rejection Message (Optional)

Enter a message to explain to customers why their discount code was rejected.

Example: A gift discount is already applied.

If you leave this field blank, Ruleify uses the default rejection message.

 

Step 7: Review and Save Your Gift Rule

After configuring all the settings, review the preview panel on the right side of the page to see a summary of your gift rule.

Check the gift rule name, activation method, tiers, gift variants, eligibility conditions, discount combinations, and schedule.

If everything looks correct, click Save to save your gift rule.
