Release 1.35.0

Free gifts can no longer be checked out after a discount code drops the cart below the goal

Written by Andrey Gadashevich

⚙️ Improvements

👉 Free gifts are protected at checkout

A shopper could reach a free gift goal, get the gift, and then enter a discount code at checkout that dropped the cart below the goal. Because they never went back to the cart, the gift stayed free.

Now Cartly checks the gift at checkout. If the cart no longer qualifies, checkout is blocked and the shopper sees this message:

  • Your cart no longer qualifies for the free gift. Please remove the gift from your cart to continue.

Where it applies:

  • Reward bar tiers set to Free gift, with the cart total counted as Post-discounted

What to know:

  • Shoppers remove the gift from the cart in your store, not at checkout.

  • Checkout is blocked only when a gift is in the cart and is no longer earned. Carts without a gift are never affected.

  • If you set up your reward bar before this release, open Custom cart and click Save once to turn this check on.

  • You can translate the message into your store's other languages.
