Start with where the order happens. Monk Commerce names Checkout and Shopify Admin in its listing. BOGOS names POS, Hydrogen and subscriptions, EasyGift lists Recharge and subscriptions, and AOV.ai lists POS and subscriptions. A named integration is enough to shortlist an app for a test. It does not settle how a gift reaches the register, a custom storefront or a renewal order.

Why does channel support decide the shortlist?

A gift offer that works in the online store can silently fail elsewhere. A POS order may not trigger the same automatic discount, a headless storefront does not load theme app widgets, and a subscription renewal may or may not carry the gift. Shopify’s own rules differ by channel too: Shopify states that discount combinations work only on orders made through the Online Store, the Storefront API and Shopify POS. (Combining discounts — Shopify Help Center) Shopify notes that automatic discounts apply at retail locations only with a POS Pro subscription, and that Buy X Get Y discounts can be used only in the online store checkout for POS Lite locations.

Which gift apps name POS, headless storefronts or subscription integrations?

What does each vendor document?

• Monk Commerce. The developer names Checkout and Shopify Admin in its integration list. If your promotion must run on another channel, ask the developer to show that specific workflow. (Monk Free Gift with Purchase — Shopify App Store)
• BOGOS. The developer names all three channels. Ask which storefront components need custom implementation, and distinguish a subscription initial order from a renewal. (BOGOS: Free Gift Bundle Upsell — Shopify App Store, Tiered gift with purchase — BOGOS)
• EasyGift. The developer names Recharge and Subscriptions. Ask whether a subscription item can qualify the first cart and whether later renewal orders are evaluated. (EG Auto Add to Cart Free Gift — Shopify App Store)
• AOV.ai. The developer lists Shopify POS and subscriptions. Confirm whether staff must add the gift at the register and whether a subscription gift applies to the first order only. (AOV.ai Free Gifts BOGO Offer — Shopify App Store)

A documentation gap means the cited sources do not settle that detail.

What should you ask about POS?

Ask whether the gift is added automatically at the register or must be scanned, whether staff can see why a gift applies, and which POS subscription the store needs for automatic discounts. Test one in-store order with the same cart you use online.

What should you ask about headless storefronts?

Theme app blocks and embeds do not run on a custom storefront. Ask whether the app offers an API or relies on Shopify discount functions that work regardless of storefront, and who builds the progress bar and gift picker on your front end.

What should you ask about subscriptions?

Decide whether the gift belongs on the first order only or on every renewal. Ask how the app treats a subscription line as a trigger, whether the gift is added to renewals, and whether your subscription app is named as supported. Test a first order and a simulated renewal.

Limits of this check

Integration lists identify candidates to test. They do not show whether a gift is inserted automatically or whether a subscription renewal is eligible. Shopify channel rules can change; re-check them before a launch.
