The aim of offering this free gift is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If customers buy any products from “iCat” category, they will receive two free gifts from “music” category<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s set up this free gift in our plug-in by following four simple steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adding a new rule in our plug-in is simply possible through the WordPress dashboard<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By clicking on \u201ciThemeland > GIFTiT<\/strong> > Rules l setting<\/strong>\u201d from your admin panel of WordPress after installation of our plug-in, the Rule<\/strong> page will be opened and you are able to add new rule by clicking on their related button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By pressing \u201cadd rule<\/strong>\u201d button, you can see the rule form containing the below sections:<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we mentioned above, you need to choose the right method to set up your free gift on our plug-in. All of the possible methods using for offering a free gift are listed in a combo box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As the gift we want to offer to the customers is not from the same category that they are buying products, we have to choose \u201cbuy x get y<\/strong>\u201d method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To set up a free gift in our plug-in, you need to assign a name to your rule. For example, we typed gift for a specific category under the \u201cRule name<\/strong>\u201d field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Filling this field is optional in our plug-in. you can add a brief description about your free gift here if you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the \u201cquantities and settings<\/strong>\u201d section, you have to specify x<\/strong> and y<\/strong> under Buy<\/strong> and Get<\/strong> fields, respectively. According to our strategy, if customers by 3 products from “iCat” category they will get 2 free gifts from “music” category, so, we typed 3<\/strong> and 2<\/strong> under buy<\/strong> and get<\/strong> Fields, respectively<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is also other setting that you need to set them according to your strategy. In this tutorial, we marked \u201csame gift<\/strong>\u201d but keep \u201cauto add gift to cart<\/strong>\u201d unmarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this way, customers can choose their preferred free gift from the list of products offered to them related to the “music” category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To set up a free gift if users buy from specific categories, you need to add those categories under the \u201cProducts- buy<\/strong>\u201d section by following the below instructions<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note: there is no limitation for adding product categories under \u201c<\/em>product buy<\/em><\/strong>\u201d section which means you can add as many product categories as you want to let customers receive the free gift by purchasing any product from them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n In this section, you can instruct a plug-in to offer free gift from one or more categories to your customers. To do this, you need to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note: in this section you can add as many products or categories as you want to be offered as a free gift to your customers. You can also exclude some products or categories from the list of free gifts.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n By pressing \u201cSave changes<\/strong>\u201d, this promotion will be activated on your online store, successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, let’s see how customer can receive this free gift after purchasing from your online shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you can see in the below picture when a customer buy some products with the total quantity more than 3 from “iCat” category, a combo box will be appeared under the cart page and ask them to \u201cSelect their gift<\/strong>\u201d from a list which is obviously related to the “music” category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Offering free gifts when customers buy from specific categories is very popular.
