2.1 Create Offer
Our app is renowned for its ease of use, allowing you to set up even the most intricate gift offers tailored to your needs.
a) Main Condition
Let’s start with 4 main conditions that BOGOS equips you to set up your promotions easily.
Cart value condition:
This condition allows you to set up rewards for customer based on a certain amount of their spending. You can set the minimum and maximum cart values.
E.g: Spend $100 to get gifts.
Spend $199-299 in the collection A to get gifts.
This condition can apply to:
- Any products: Customers are eligible for gifts if they meet the minimum (and maximum) spend, regardless of what they add to their cart.
- All except selected products: Most items qualify, but you can exclude specific products, such as high-cost or high-demand ones, from the promotion.
- All except selected types/vendors/collections: Most products are included, except for those in specific categories.
- Only selected products: Customers receive gifts only when purchasing from a special list of selected products, which is ideal for promoting slow-moving or new items.
- In selected types/vendors/collections: This offer is exclusive to specific categories, allowing targeted sales promotions.
Cart quantity condition:
When you choose this option, customers can receive gifts based on the number of products they decide to purchase – a flexible way to reward them.
E.g: Buy 3 products to get gifts
Buy 1 to 5 products from vendor A to get gifts.
Expert tip: You can merge Cart value and Cart quantity conditions for a more tailored and impactful gift offer.
Specific product condition:
This condition is ideal if you’d like to offer a gift or discounted product to customers who purchase specific products or collections.
E.g: Buy product X to get gift Y.
You can also choose:
- Multiply gifts with a number of products
E.g: Buy product A to get gift B, buy 2A get 2B, buy 3A get 3B.
- The gift can have the same variants (track by variant) or the same products (track by product) as the selected items.
Cart value multiplier condition:
The Cart value multiplier condition is your go-to solution for setting up a Spend More Get More offer.
E.g: Spend $100 get 1 gift, $200 get 2 gifts, $300 get 3 gifts, and so on.

4.2. Location-based
Customers from selected countries receive gifts, while those from excluded countries do not see the offer, ensuring that promotions are relevant to the intended audience.
