What You Will Learn

We’ll explore how to set up BOGO promotions using Dr Free Gift, configure product-specific offers, and understand the key settings that make these promotions successful. You’ll learn how to create an automated system that adds free products to qualifying orders seamlessly.

Introduction to BOGO Gift Goals

Shop Doctor’s BOGO gift goal creates an automated promotional system where purchasing a qualifying product triggers the offer of a free product. When a customer adds one iPhone to their cart, they can automatically receive a second iPhone at no additional cost. The system offers several powerful customization options that help you create the perfect promotion for your store:

Automatic addition of free products to cart
Dynamic removal of free items when qualifying items are removed
Flexible application to specific products or collections
Customizable redemption limits per order

Setting Up Your BOGO Promotion

Step 1: Go to Goals page and create a new Goal

Enter “Buy One iPhone, Get One Free” as your goal name

Step 2: Configure Goal Target

Select “Cart Item Count” as your Goal Target
Enter “1” in the Minimum Requirement field

Step 3: Set Product Assignment

Under “Goal Target Applies To” select “Included Items”
Click “Select Included Products” button
Search for and select iPhone from your product list
Click “Confirm Selection”

Step 4: Configure Gift Settings

Under “Goal Reward” choose “Automatically add gifts to cart”
Click “Select Products” under “Free Gift Products”
Select iPhone as the free gift
Set the “Gift Quantity Award” to “1”
Set “Maximum Times The Goal Can Be Met Per Order” to your desired limit

Step 5: Save your Goal

Click the “Save” button in the upper right corner of the page

Step 6: Test Your BOGO Promotion

Add one iPhone to cart
Verify the second iPhone is added automatically
Test removing the first iPhone to ensure the free one is also removed
Check all customer-facing messages

Best Practices for BOGO Promotions

Your promotion’s name should clearly communicate the offer to customers browsing your Shopify store. For example, “Buy One iPhone, Get One Free” immediately tells customers what they’ll receive and what they need to do to qualify.
