# Do cart rewards work with Buy it now?

> Free shipping and order discounts can apply. Free gifts can't, since Buy it now skips the cart.

Partly. **Buy it now** goes straight to checkout with that one product. Free shipping and order discounts still apply if that purchase reaches the threshold. Free gifts don't, because only the drawer adds gift lines.

## What happens to each reward

- **Free shipping tier:** applies, if the purchase reaches the threshold. Shopify checks it at checkout, with or without the drawer.
- **Order discount tier:** applies the same way.
- **Free gift tier:** doesn't apply. No gift line is added, even if the purchase reaches the threshold.

The threshold counts only what is in that checkout. Items already in the shopper's cart don't count.

## The same goes for other ways around the cart

- Shop Pay or another wallet button on a product page.
- A direct link to checkout.

Wallet buttons in the drawer are different. The **Express checkout** block checks out the whole cart, gifts included.

## If you need gifts on every order

Remove the **Buy it now** button from your product page, so shoppers go through the cart. Look in your theme editor, in the product page's buy buttons. Not every theme offers this.
