🧩 What is a Volume Discount with Progressive Gifts?
Volume Discount with Progressive Gifts is not a separate discount type — it is the same Volume Discount with the Progressive Gifts feature enabled. The core volume discount configuration stays exactly the same; Progressive Gifts simply adds rewards on top of it, unlocking additional gifts at higher tiers — such as free products, multiple items, free shipping, or a combination of rewards. It is POS supported and perfect for motivating customers to buy more.
⚙️ Key Features
Progressive Gift Rewards → Gifts unlock as customers reach higher tiers.
Free Shipping, Free Product at Higher Tiers → Reward bigger carts with free items or shipping.
Combined Rewards on Specific Tiers → Stack multiple rewards on the tiers you choose.
Tiered Pricing Structure → Volume discounts work as usual underneath the gifts.
Quantity-Based Discounts → Discounts unlock based on the quantity purchased.
Increase Average Order Value → Motivate customers to buy more by stacking discounts with gifts.
🛠️ Step 1: Create the Offer
Go to Bundles & Discounts on the Appstle Bundles dashboard and click Create Offer.
🧱 Step 2: Select the Volume Discount with Progressive Gifts
On the Create an Offer page, open the Volume Discount with Progressive Gifts tab and click Create Discount.
📝 Step 3: Configure the Volume Discount :
The base configuration is exactly the same as a standard Volume Discount:
Choose a Deal Template to start with, then adjust products, tiers, and labels.
In Offer Setup, enter the Internal Name, Bundle Title, and Checkout Discount Name, and select the eligible products or collections.
Manage your discount tiers in Tiered Discounts.
Fine-tune the offer using Widget Style, Schedule, Purchase Options, Subscriptions, Upsells, Display Options, Discount Stacking, Tags and Visibility, and the Announcement Bar.

🎁 Step 4: Enable the Progressive Gifts Toggle
In the discount configuration, enable the Progressive gifts toggle to turn on progressive rewards, then set up the gift section:
Gift section title (e.g., "Free gifts with your purchase") → Shown above gift offers in the widget.
Gift section subtitle (e.g., "Unlock by selecting a higher bundle") → Shown under the gift section title.
Hide gifts until customers unlock them → Optionally keep gifts hidden until the required tier is reached.
Variant selection for gifts (e.g., "Make every selected variant free") → Every selected variant is added as free when the gift unlocks.
🎀 Step 5: Add and Configure Your Gifts
Use Add-free product or Add-free shipping to add rewards, then configure each gift:
Unlock gift at (e.g., Tier #1 and higher) → Choose the tier customers must reach before this gift is available.
Gift item title (e.g., "Free shipping") → Shown as the gift product name in the widget.
Gift badge text (e.g., "FREE") → Short badge shown beside this gift.
Crossed-out price text (e.g., {{original_total}}) → Optional original-price text shown as crossed out.
Locked gift text (e.g., "Locked") → Text shown before the customer unlocks this gift.
Image URL → Enter an image URL (JPG, PNG, or WebP) to display in the card radio button.
All gift texts support the Translate option (and Variables where available), and gifts can be removed anytime with Remove.
