Yes! The Dr Free Gift, BOGO Buy X Get Y app lets you control exactly which products count toward gift goals using the “Goal Target Applies To” setting (Goal editor).
Available Options
All Items
Every product in your store counts toward reaching the goal threshold. Perfect for storewide promotions.
Included Items
Specify exactly which products should count toward the goal by filtering:
- Individual products
- Specific product variants
- Entire collections
All But Excluded Items
Counts everything except products you choose to exclude. Useful for broad promotions while excluding certain items like already-discounted products.
Implementation Tips
When using product filtering:
- Update progress bar messages to clearly show which products qualify
- Enable “Hide Goals With a Filter That Does Not Apply To Cart” for better user experience
- Monitor inventory levels of both qualifying products and gifts
Best Practices
- Keep targeting rules simple and clear
- Test configurations thoroughly before launch
- Adjust filters based on inventory and sales patterns
