  1. Open Promotions, click Create promotion, then click Choose on the Tiered rewards card.

    It is under Promotions with an upsell offer. The card says “Free shipping, free gifts and money off at different cart amounts. One progress bar shows every reward.”

  3. For the cart drawer, do both of these.

    Add the AndOr Order goal block to a product page and turn on its Also show in the cart drawer setting. Then turn on the app embed: the goal bar and the gift slots in the drawer need it. See Turn on the app embed. The drawer also needs a theme that sends Shopify’s storefront cart events, like Horizon 4.0+ or Dawn 15.5+. See Theme requirements.

  3. Go to checkout and check each reward.

    Or under Try it at checkout, click Open store, add items that qualify, then check out.
