Marketing tools

Promotions, loyalty, campaigns, and the growth tools built into Cartisto.

Cartisto ships a full marketing suite — no add-ons. Most of it lives in the Marketing section of the dashboard; coupons and reviews have their own top-level areas.

Promotions

  • Coupons — percentage or fixed discounts, free shipping, minimum-order and first-order-only rules, per-customer and total usage limits, and category or product scoping. Stackable or exclusive.

  • Offers & bundles — five offer types, all rendered and priced by the platform so every theme shows them identically:

    Type What it does
    Fixed-price bundle A set of products for one combined price.
    Percentage bundle A percentage off when the set is bought together.
    Buy X get Y (BOGO) Buy qualifying items, get others discounted or free.
    Mix & Match Pick any N from a pool for a set price.
    Free gift A gift added once the cart passes a threshold.

Keep customers coming back

  • Loyalty — award points on purchases and let customers redeem them.
  • Gift cards — sell and redeem store gift cards.
  • Store credit — issue credit to a customer’s balance (e.g. for a goodwill refund); it’s spendable at checkout. Managed per customer — see Customers.

Reach your audience

  • Campaigns — send marketing broadcasts to your audience.
  • Messaging — connect WhatsApp (via Meta) and SMS (via Twilio) to send order and marketing messages. See Apps & integrations for connecting providers.
  • Newsletter — collect subscribers from your storefront (with consent) and export or message them.
  • Abandoned carts — recover shoppers who left items behind.

Grow

  • Affiliates — run an affiliate program with tracked referrals and payouts.
  • Recommendations — show “related” and “you may also like” blocks driven by the platform.
  • Reviews — collect verified-purchase product reviews (with optional photos); only approved reviews affect a product’s average rating.
  • Back-in-stock alerts — let shoppers subscribe to a sold-out product and get notified when it returns.
Tip

Offers are theme-agnostic Because the platform renders offer maths (not each theme), a promotion you build once looks and behaves the same across every theme and on every device — you never re-implement it per theme.
