Calculation and disclaimer
The calculator multiplies qualifying orders by either your alternative discount amount or your estimated gift cost. It does not account for shipping, taxes, returns, product margins, fulfilment, inventory carrying cost, conversion changes, or other operational costs. It is not a revenue, margin, or profitability guarantee.
A simple merchant flow
From idea to qualifying cart, with no theme code edits.
Every visible step is intentional: merchant control in the app, storefront behavior through the App Embed, and discount logic through Shopify.
Create a campaign
Choose a gift, eligibility condition, and schedule for the promotion.
1Enable the App Embed
Open Shopify Theme Editor, enable Gift Engine App Embed, and save. No manual theme code edits.
2Activate when ready
Save as a draft, schedule the campaign, or activate immediately from the campaign flow.
3Reward the cart
Gift Engine adds one eligible gift in the cart and applies the app discount at checkout.
4Focused campaign controls
The campaign logic merchants need, without turning setup into a rule maze.
Gift Engine keeps the core campaign types clear: product, collection, subtotal, schedule, lifecycle, and one-gift-per-cart behavior.
Rules resolve to one eligible Gift Engine gift.
Specific product campaigns take precedence, followed by collection campaigns and then the highest qualifying subtotal campaign.
1Specific product campaign
2Collection campaign
3Highest subtotal campaign
4Priority resolves exact ties
Use the trigger that matches the goal.
Reward a selected product, a collection, or a cart subtotal — then manage the campaign lifecycle from one workspace.
Draft, live, paused, or ended — always explicit.
Prepare the campaign before it reaches customers, schedule it when timing matters, and keep status clear for your team.

Read all FAQWhat qualifies a cart for a gift?
A campaign can qualify a cart through a specific product, collection membership, or a cart subtotal threshold. The final campaign setup determines the exact qualifying rule.
Can a cart receive more than one Gift Engine gift?
No. Gift Engine is designed so one cart receives one eligible Gift Engine gift. Its winner order is specific product, collection, then highest qualifying subtotal; priority resolves exact ties.
Does Gift Engine work with Shopify’s modern checkout architecture?
Gift Engine calculates its automatic gift discount using Shopify Functions and does not depend on deprecated checkout.liquid. Storefront behavior uses a Shopify Theme App Extension and App Embed.
Can Gift Engine run alongside other discounts or discount apps?
Gift Engine manages one eligible Gift Engine gift per cart. Shopify discount-combination settings and other apps can affect the final checkout result, especially when several promotions target the same cart lines. Test planned combinations before publishing a campaign.
How does the 14-day trial work?
Gift Engine Pro includes a 14-day free trial. Choose the Pro plan through Shopify and review the trial, renewal and charge details before approving. Gift Engine Free does not require a paid subscription.
