How to Set Up a Free Gift for a Product in Xynotheme Without Using an App

With XynoThemes, giving away free gifts is easy and code-free. You can set up gift offers directly on your product pages using built-in theme blocks and Shopify metafields — no third-party apps required!

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you get started.

🧩 Step 1: Add the "Free Gift" Block

  • From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
  • Click Customize on the theme you’re editing.
  • Navigate to Products > choose Default Product (or any product template you’re using).
  • In the theme editor, click “+ Add block” inside the product section.
  • Choose the block called Free Gift 
  • In the block settings, select up to 3 products for free gift.

✅ This method applies to all products using this template.

🎯 Step 2: Add Specific Free Gift for Individual Products (Optional)

If you want to show different free gift products for each product, follow these extra steps:

1. Create a Custom Metafield

  • Go to your Shopify Admin > Settings > Custom data > Products.
  • Click Add definition.
  • Set the Name to something like “freegift”.  it must be exactly “freegift” for the theme to recognize it correctly. If you use a different name, it will not work.
    Choose the Type:
    → Select List of Products.
  • Save the metafield definition. After savings, your meta look like this 

2. Assign Custom Free Gift to a Product

  • Go to Products > [Select a product].
  • Scroll down to the Metafields section (usually at the bottom).
  • Under freegift, pick the specific products you want to upsell for this product.
  • Save the product.

🎯 Step 3: Create a Discount Code for Your Free Gift Offer

To make your free gift offer work at checkout, you’ll need to create a discount using Shopify’s "Buy X, Get Y" promotion:

  • From your Shopify admin, go to Discounts.
  • Click Create discount and choose “Buy X, Get Y”.
  • Under Customer buys, set the conditions (e.g., minimum purchase amount or specific product).
  • Under Customer gets, choose the product(s) you want to offer as the free gift and set the discount value to 100%.
  • Customize any additional settings, like usage limits or active dates.
  • Save your discount.

✅ Now when customers meet the conditions, the free gift will be automatically applied at checkout!
