Auto add free gift to order/cart

[maartenb17]

What I miss is a way to automatically add a product to a cart or order as a promotional gift without the need for customer interaction. It should work very much like the Buy X Get Y promotion with the unique difference that it is added automatically without customer action.

Have you tried using the "Product Discount" with the "Add product to cart when applied" option? I've added a screenshot of the configuration. You can use it as a promotion that will automatically apply when you change cart, or as a coupon.

I see. Does it mean that when a cart is created, the item is automatically added if met with given conditions?

This will be added if there are "items" in the cart (can be an empty array []) and you apply a promotion or coupon to that cart.

For example:
POST /carts
{
"items": [],
"$promotions": true
}

If I have the promotion from the screenshot in my store, then the "moresimple" product is added to the created cart at that moment.

It seems it only works for frontend orders/carts. Will it also work for autogenerated subscription orders at the end of an order cycle?

You can set it up as a coupon and apply configured coupon to a subscription.

When the subscription generates an order, the coupon will be copied to the generated order, the discount will be applied, and the gift product will be added.
