Hello, I'd like to give a customer the OPTION of getting something for free if they order over $250.00 or more.
I set up a shopping cart event to offer this as a gift, but it looks like this method forces the item in the cart of the customer. The customer has to take it whether he wants it or not.
Spefically, it's for a box of product catalogs. If the wholesale order is over $250, the customer can request a free box of catalogs. But I don't want this to be added to the cart if the customer doesn't need them.
So, is there a way to do this?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
Full Version: Product Becomes Free If Order Is Over $250?
Sorry, I tried to play around with this feature. On my site, I ended up with the shopping cart adding a free dvd player when the order goes over a specific amount. I wanted the customer to have the option of choosing the free gift, but in the end, we just went the easy way.

Hello geoi310 -
Currently the way the Shopping Cart Event works is an admin can set up a price value, and then specify the free product that will be added to the cart. As you have seen already, the product is simply just added to the cart automatically and does not let the customer choose whether they want it or not.
Due to this though there are a few options that you can do to work around this. If you wanted to give this free product out only when the customer buys X product, you can then add these free products as variant options. This way the customer can choose whether or not they want that free product or not.
If you wanted the cart to simply give a free gift though after $X, and let the customer choose it or not, you wouldn't be able to do this but the best method close to this is to use the shopping cart event as it works now.
What I can do though is make sure that this is a logged feature request though as I can see how this can be valuable.
