Troubleshooting: Free gift not adding or not removing
When the free gift doesn't appear at the threshold or doesn't disappear when the cart drops.
This article is a draft and may be incomplete or change before publishing.
Gift not adding
- Check the cart total vs threshold. Is the cart actually above the goal amount in the customer's currency? Gift items don't count toward the goal, and a market with its own tiers uses those tiers instead of All Markets.
- Check Rewards is on and saved. Cart Editor → Rewards should show On, and your changes need a Save.
- Check the gift variant is in stock. An out-of-stock variant can't be added to the cart.
- Check whether the shopper removed it. With Free Gift Automatic, a gift the shopper removes themselves isn't added back until the cart is emptied. If another app or script keeps removing it, the cart drawer stops re-adding it on that page after 3 quick attempts.
- Check customer tags. Logged-in customers with a tag listed in Customer Tags to exclude from Rewards (Rewards → General Settings → Show Advance Settings) don't get rewards.
Gift added but not free at checkout
The cart drawer adds the gift; the Oxify discount makes it free at checkout.
- Confirm the discount exists. In Shopify admin → Discounts, look for Oxify Cart Unified Discount (older stores: IA Cart - Free Gift Discount). If it's missing, open the Cart Editor and click Save to recreate it.
- Confirm the last save went through. A red banner at the top of the Cart Editor after saving means checkout wasn't updated — see Stacking rules and Shopify limits.
- Confirm combination rules allow it. See Troubleshooting: Discounts not stacking.
Gift not removing when cart drops
- Reload the page so the cart drawer re-checks the cart. It removes a Free Gift Automatic gift once the cart no longer reaches the threshold.
- At checkout the gift is only free while the cart still meets the tier — a gift left in the cart after the cart drops is charged at its normal price.
Oxify has no cart simulator. Rebuild the customer's cart on your storefront — same items, currency and market — and check the cart drawer and then checkout.
