Installation/Upgrade

• Open the folder uploads

• Wait for all files to be uploaded

• Using your FTP program, go to /includes/classes and rename the file shopping_cart.php to shopping_cart-backup.php

• Go to /includes/classes and rename the file shopping_cart_freegifts_xxx.php to shopping_cart.php (where xxx is the version of your Zen Cart).

• If you changed the original file shopping_cart.php, you will need a comparison tool like WinMerge or Beyond Compare to merge both files.

Tutorial

• Go to Admin -> Tools -> Layout Boxes Controller. You will notice that a new box has been found freegifts. Go ahead and activate it. I recommend you to place on the top, so your customers will notice the free gifts. The box is not displayed if there are no free gifts available.

• If your Zen Cart version is 1.3.x: Go to Admin -> Tools -> Free Gifts

• If your Zen Cart version is 1.5.x: Go to Admin -> Custom Scriptz -> Free Gifts

• Click the button New Product.

• The fields should be self explanatory.

• Fill in all the required fields and click Insert.

• The Free Gift will be inserted, but the Status will be Inactive. To activate it, click the Red flag.

• Note: If you want to make the Free Gift available on 01/01/2020 only. Do as follow:

  • Start Date -> 01/01/2020
  • End Date -> 02/01/2020
  • Then the Free Gift will be available from 01/01/2010 00:00:00 to 01/01/2010 23:59:59.

FAQ

• What happens if the customer remove products from the cart so the threshold is less then the cart total?
