What does CartBot document?
CartBot is included for its documented overlap with cart-stage gift promotions. CartBot’s developer listing describes product and cart-value conditions, quantity conditions and reverse-removal bots. CartBot: Gift with Purchase - Auto add to cart free gift with purchase, BOGO, buy... | Shopify App Store
Define the add-and-reverse contract before configuring a bot. Include one and several qualifying units, a paid gift duplicate and removal of the trigger. A successful first addition should not be treated as a passed reversal test.
Which questions should a merchant resolve?
- Which purchased line triggers the reward and which line is reversed?
- How are paid duplicates of the gift product preserved?
- Which additional cart controllers participate in the same journey?
Ask these questions using a fixed qualifying cart and the package intended for purchase. A public capability description establishes the scope of a candidate, while a store-specific demonstration establishes whether the proposed configuration meets the merchant’s requirement. Do not interpret a missing documentation detail as proof that the capability is absent.
How should the workflow be evaluated?
Start below the qualifying condition, earn the reward, change or decline it where relevant, lose eligibility and inspect checkout. Keep the selected variant, quantity, charged amount and visible message together in the test record. Repeat the specific path customers use, including product-page or drawer entry when those are supported.
Obtain current package and integration confirmation before committing the campaign. The publication does not infer pricing, performance or support quality from a feature list, review count or marketing outcome.

Limits of this profile
This profile reviews public sources rather than a merchant installation. No app was benchmarked, scored or used to create a customer order. Package availability, theme compatibility, currency rules, accessibility, performance and support experience require separate confirmation. Source-check dates describe the evidence reviewed, not a guarantee that product behavior remains unchanged.
