What does Kite document?

Kite is profiled because its documentation overlaps the shortlist’s gift, tier and cart-offer use cases. The Kite listing (developer Skai Lama; launched June 28, 2023; Built for Shopify) describes automatic gift addition and removal at cart-value thresholds, BOGO and multi-buy discounts, tiered discounts and progress bars for gifts or free shipping, and says the app is built on Shopify Functions. (Kite Discount, Free Gift, BOGO — Shopify App Store) Kite’s help center organizes documentation into gift, Buy X Get Y, tiered and volume, shipping, order and combined discounts (https://kite.skailama.app/en/).

These are vendor-published descriptions on the check date. They establish what the vendor says the product does, not how it performs on a particular store or theme.

Which questions should a merchant resolve first?

Does the store’s Shopify plan fall inside the plan Kite lists (the free and Starter plans exclude some Shopify plans)?
Are goal-based progress bars needed (listed from the Starter plan)?
Which discounts must combine with the gift offer?

Ask each question against a written campaign: the qualifying rule, the reward, the sales channels involved and the Shopify plan the store is on. Plan names, limits and prices change, so confirm them on the listing on the day you install rather than relying on this snapshot.

How should Kite be tested?

Build the exact offer from your written campaign on a duplicate theme, then run five carts: below the threshold, at it, above it with a typical discount code, after removing the qualifying item, and with the gift product already in the cart at full price. Record the gift, its price in the cart and at checkout, and the message the shopper sees. Compare those results with the same carts in one other shortlisted app before deciding.

Limits of this profile

This profile summarizes public listings and documentation checked on November 9, 2026. No app was installed, benchmarked, scored or used to place an order. Ratings, review counts and marketing performance claims are not used. Theme compatibility, storefront speed, accessibility and support experience need separate confirmation, and a missing detail in public documentation is not evidence that a capability is absent.
