To better understand how to use our plugin for creating a new rule, let\u2019s review an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-add-new-rule-and-set-the-rule-method\"><strong>Add new rule and set the rule method<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The purpose of this example is to offer let the users with the first purchase choose 3 products from &#8220;<strong>Music<\/strong>&#8221; and &#8220;<strong>Accessories<\/strong>&#8221; categories as a free gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To setup this free gift, at first you need to open &#8220;<strong>Rule<\/strong>&#8221; page by clicking on \u201c<strong>iThemeland &gt; GIFTiT<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Rules l Settings<\/strong>\u201d tab in the \u201c<strong>WordPress Dashboard<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then you are able to click on \u201c<strong>Add Rule<\/strong>\u201d button to see the new gift form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/docs\/free-gifts-for-woocommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/05\/11-add-rules-1.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"748\" src=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/docs\/free-gifts-for-woocommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/05\/11-add-rules-1.jpg\" alt=\"add new rule in WooCommerce product gift plugin\" class=\"wp-image-2881\" style=\"width:1400px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At the very beginning of this form, you have to choose a suitable method for offering gifts. To setup a free gift for users with first purchase, it\u2019s better to choose <strong>\u201cSimple Adjustment\u201d<\/strong> from the combo box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then you have to type a rule name in the related field and add a description if you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-set-the-quantities-and-settings\"><strong>Set the Quantities and Settings&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step is to define the number of gifts under the <strong>Get<\/strong> field. According to our purpose which is offering 3 free gifts to the users with the first purchase, we typed \u201c<strong>3<\/strong>\u201d in the <strong>Get<\/strong> field as illustrated below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/docs\/free-gifts-for-woocommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/05\/11-Set-the-Quantities-and-Settings.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"752\" src=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/docs\/free-gifts-for-woocommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/05\/11-Set-the-Quantities-and-Settings.jpg\" alt=\"Set the Quantities and Settings \" class=\"wp-image-2886\" style=\"width:1400px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend you to mark \u201c<strong>Same gift<\/strong>\u201d but keep \u201c<strong>Auto Add gift to cart\u201d<\/strong> option unmarked because we want to let users to pick their free gifts from a list of products on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-set-the-free-gift\"><strong>Set the free gift<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now it\u2019s time to specify the products that you want to offer to the users with the first purchase as a free gift. We have provided a lot of flexible options to enable you offer exactly what you want to your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can add some specific products under the \u201c<strong>Include Product\u201d<\/strong> field or some specific product categories\/ tags \/Taxonomies to be offered as a free gift on your online store. It is also possible to exclude some products or categories from the list of free gifts as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this example, as we mentioned before, we aimed to offer all products in the &#8220;<strong>Music<\/strong>&#8221; category and &#8220;<strong>Accessories<\/strong> category&#8221; to the users with the first purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do this, we performed the following actions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Type \u201c<strong>m<\/strong>\u201d in the \u201c<strong>Include categories\/ tags \/ Taxonomies\u201d<\/strong> field<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose &#8220;<strong>Music<\/strong>&#8221; from the displayed list<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type \u201c<strong>a<\/strong>\u201d&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose \u201c<strong>Accessories<\/strong>\u201d from the list<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/docs\/free-gifts-for-woocommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/05\/11-set-free-gifts.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"756\" src=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/docs\/free-gifts-for-woocommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/05\/11-set-free-gifts.jpg\" alt=\"set free gifts  in WooCommerce product gift plugin\" class=\"wp-image-2883\" style=\"width:1400px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We have successfully set the products to be offered as a free gift.
