Create Reward Tiers (Free Shipping, Discount, Free Gift)
What you’ll set up
Reward tiers help you give shoppers a reason to add more to their cart. Each tier has:
- a goal (example: spend $50),
- a reward (example: free shipping, a discount, or a free gift), and
- messages that show before and after the reward unlocks.
Create a tier from start to finish
In your app admin, go to Cart Editor → Sales Boosters (AOV Features) → Rewards / Progress Bar / Free Gifts (names may be slightly different depending on your app version).
Make sure rewards are enabled so you can preview your changes right away.
Click Add tier (or + Add).
You’ll now choose a reward type and set the goal.
Pick the reward you want shoppers to unlock:
- Free shipping (great for first tier)
- Discount (percent or fixed amount)
- Free gift (adds a product as a gift when the goal is reached)
Set the goal for this tier (example: $50).
- If your rewards are based on cart total, enter the spend amount.
- If your rewards are based on item count, enter the number of items.
Fill in the details for the reward type you chose:
- Free shipping: confirm what shipping benefit is applied (based on your app settings).
- Discount: choose percent or fixed amount, then enter the value.
- Free gift: choose the gift product (and variant, if needed). If quantity options exist, set the gift quantity.
Customize the message shoppers see while they are still working toward the goal.
Good examples:
Add $10 more to unlock free shippingAdd 1 more item to get 10% off
Customize the message shoppers see once they reach the goal.
Good examples:
Free shipping unlocked!You unlocked 10% offFree gift added to your cart
Select an icon that matches the reward:
- Truck icon for free shipping
- Tag/percent icon for discount
- Gift icon for free gift
If your app lets you change icon color, choose a color that matches your brand and is easy to see on your cart background.
Choose the tier/progress bar template that fits your cart style (example: compact, card style, or minimal).
After selecting a template, check the preview for:
- text not being cut off on mobile,
- icons lining up nicely,
- the progress bar being easy to read.
Click Save.
If your app allows drag-and-drop, reorder tiers so they unlock in a logical path (Tier 1 → Tier 2 → Tier 3).
Recommended tier setups
- Tier 1: Free shipping at a reachable goal (example: $40–$60)
- Tier 2: Small discount at a higher goal (example: $80–$120)
This keeps rewards easy to understand and helps increase your average order value.
- Tier 1: Free shipping
- Tier 2: Discount
- Tier 3: Free gift
Use the free gift as the “big win” so shoppers feel excited to keep adding items.
Quick checklist before you publish
- Tier goals go from low to high.
- Locked message clearly says what to do (add $X or add Y items).
- Unlocked message clearly says what they got (free shipping / discount / gift).
- Icons match the reward and are easy to see.
- If you used a free gift, the gift product is in stock and available where you sell.
