Managing Free Gift Rules Based on Cart Total in WooCommerce

In a recent Business Bloomer Club discussion, a member faced an issue with the Flycart Woo Discount Rules plugin when trying to add a free gift product based on cart totals. While a discount rule applied a free gift when the cart subtotal reached €200, the rule didn’t adjust if a coupon reduced the cart total below this threshold.

The plugin settings allowed checks only against the subtotal, not the updated cart total after a coupon was applied. Seeking a solution, the member explored alternative discount plugins and custom setups.

A community member suggested trying Studio Wombat’s WooCommerce Discounts plugin, which offers more flexibility with cart total conditions. The plugin author added an option for tracking the cart total, enabling more precise control over free gift rules, particularly when coupons are involved.
