Gift with purchase: surprise-and-delight at checkout

Use Gift Unlock to surface a free product, subscription gift, or coupon as a checkout incentive

Want to nudge shoppers through checkout? Use the Gift Unlock extension to surface a free product, a subscription gift, or a coupon at the moment they're closest to converting. It's the surprise-and-delight lever for cart abandoners, first-time buyers, or any segment that needs one more reason to click "place order".

How it works

Gift Unlock displays a teaser banner during checkout. Shoppers either see the gift right away, or click through to reveal it. Either way, they get a small reward and you get a higher completion rate.

Common use cases

  • Free product gift — drop a low-cost, high-margin item in the cart automatically when shoppers cross a threshold.

  • Coupon as gift — surface a one-time discount code that auto-applies on click.

  • Subscription gift — offer a free first delivery on a Selling Plan Product.

Setting it up

For the full walkthrough — all three offer types (Product, Selling Plan Product, Coupon), display conditions, styling, and Shopify install — see Setting up Gift Unlock.

Tips

  • Use Display Conditions to scope the gift — only above a cart total, only for new customers, only for tagged segments.

  • For the surprise-and-delight effect, leave Gift Message on and configure the Information Not Provided sub-tab to hide details until shoppers engage.

  • Pair with a Digital Upsell timer if you want urgency on top — but be sparing, two timers in checkout is one too many.

  • For coupons, set Combines With deliberately. Stacking gift coupons on top of site-wide promos can erode your margins.
