How to Choose

  • Free plan availability: Prioritize apps that offer a free plan or free install so you can test without commitment.
  • Core use case: Choose a free-shipping bar app if you want to increase AOV via thresholds, or a dedicated GWP/BOGO app for promotions.
  • Ease of setup: Look for apps with straightforward auto-add or popup options if you lack developer resources.
  • Scale and price: Match pricing tiers to expected order volume and feature needs; some apps have very different paid tiers.
  • Reviews and support: High review counts indicate wider usage; check recent reviews in the app listing before install.

Common Mistakes

  • Installing multiple apps that overlap: running two free-shipping bars or two auto-add apps can cause UI conflicts.
  • Skipping A/B tests: not testing different thresholds, messages, or gift offers can waste potential AOV gains.
  • Ignoring mobile UX: free-shipping bars or pop-ups that are not mobile-optimized reduce conversions.
  • Neglecting pricing tier fit: picking an app without checking paid tier limits can lead to unexpected costs.

FAQ

Are These Apps Actually Free?

Many of the listed apps offer a free plan or free install, but pricing tiers exist. Check the Pricing section of each app listing for exact terms and limits.

Will These Apps Slow Down My Store?

Any app can impact load time. Pick apps with lightweight UI and test site speed after install. Disable or remove apps you do not use.

Can I Run Multiple BOGO or Gift Apps Together?

You can, but functionality may overlap and cause conflicts. Prefer one well-suited app for gifting or BOGO to avoid duplicate rules.

How Do I Measure ROI for a Free-Gift Promotion?

Track AOV, conversion rate, and incremental revenue during the campaign and compare to a baseline period. Use UTM/campaign tracking where possible.

Do These Apps Support International Shipping Thresholds?

Some free-shipping apps support country-specific thresholds; check each app’s documentation or settings for geographic rules.
