An AI agent connected to AIOD can set up gift-with-purchase offers: a genuinely free item added to the cart separately from what the shopper is buying — either dropped in automatically, or picked by the shopper from a gift picker.

​
Just ask

​
Gift or BOGO?

This is the one distinction that matters, and it’s easy to get wrong. A gift is never something the customer has to add to their own cart. And a gift is always 100% free — a partially discounted add-on is a BOGO, not a gift. Merchant-facing settings: Free Gift with Purchase.

​
What the agent does

  1. Reads the unified_free_gift contract.
  2. Picks a specific gift — a variant ideally, or a product. A collection or “all items” can’t be a gift, because nothing could decide which one to add.
  3. Sets the unlock condition: cart subtotal, cart quantity, item quantity, or anything else AIOD supports.
  4. Sets how many gifts, whether the offer repeats as the condition is met again, and whether the shopper chooses or AIOD adds it automatically.
  5. Drafts it and hands you a link.

​
Worth knowing

  • The gift has to be a specific item. If the gift needs to come from the same collection as the trigger, that’s a BOGO instead — a collection trigger can’t decide which variant to insert.
  • Tiered promotions can hand out gifts per tier too. See Quantity discounts.
