Tired quantity rule enables cumulative gifting where gifts stack as customers reach higher quantity tiers. You can create this rule in the free gifts for WooCommerce plugin by choosing Tired Quantity from the Method dropdown menu, and following the steps below:
Step 1: Configure Quantity Tiers & Settings
In the Quantities & Settings section, click “Add Item” to define your progressive quantity levels. Each tier should build upon the previous one, with gifts accumulating as customers move to higher tiers.
Activate Auto add gifts to cart to ensure all qualified gifts are automatically added when quantity thresholds are met, or leave it if you want customers to choose their gifts.
Mark Same Gift to let customers add one individual product as a free gift repeatedly, or leave it to allow customers to just add one of each gift to their carts.
Step 2: Define Product Buy (Trigger Products)
Click the Add Product button to select the specific products, categories, or tags that count toward the quantity thresholds. These are the items customers need to purchase to qualify for the gifts. You can also set this item based on Product Property, like On Sale products.
Step 3: Set Gift
In the Product Get section, set the gifts to offer to the customers in the following fields:
- Include/ Exclude products: Add or remove one or more products to/from the gift list.
- Include/ Exclude categories: Add or remove one or more categories to/from the gift list.

Step 4: Set Additional Conditions
Use the “Add Condition” button to restrict the offer based on customer role, date ranges, or other cart parameters if needed.
Step 5: Configure Notifications
Enable the offer bar that clearly explain the tiered structure and show customers how close they are to unlocking the next level of gifts.
Step 6: Save and Test the Rule
Click “Save Changes” and thoroughly test each quantity threshold to verify that gifts accumulate correctly as customers add more products to their cart.

Practical Example: Tired Quantity for boosting spare part sales
Imagine you sell spare parts and want to create an escalating reward system like below:
- Buy 6 to 12 items: Get 2 free tiers
- Buy 13 to 48 items: Get 1 more free tier (3 in total)
- Buy more than 48 items: Get 1 more for free (4 in total)
Configuration Steps:
Method: Select “Tired Quantity” from the dropdown menu.
Quantity Tiers & Settings: Create three tiers:
- 6 – 12 : 2
- 13 – 48 : 1
- 49 – 10000 : 1
Product Buy: Ignore it if all of your products are qualified for the rule.
Product Get: Add Tier to the Include Category field.

Verify the rule works correctly by adding different numbers of items to the cart. For example, if customers order 17 spare parts, they can add 3 different tires from the gift list to their cart.
