# Category discount
When it comes to category discounts, we may have these scenarios:
* If a customer adds $100 worth of **Accessories** category, their **whole cart** gets 5% off.
* If a customer adds $100 worth of **Accessories** category, their **subtotal cart value** of those products gets 5% off.
* If a customer adds $100 worth of **Accessories** category, they get a **free item** or another discounted product.
### Min spend on categories gets free item
Here's how to set up this promotion: **Spend $100, get 1 gift,** i.e. "If the customer spends a certain amount on specific categories, they automatically get a free item".
#### Step 1: Specify categories and gift item
Let's get started to offer a free t-shirt if an order contains products from the categories A, B, C, or D.
* Buy products: customers should buy products from these categories A, B, C, D.
* Get products: customers get a giveaway as a t-shirt.
#### Step 2: Set the required minimum spend
Go to **Conditions** tab and add your requirement. E.g. the monetary amount of those cart items from the categories A, B, C, or D is greater than or equal to $100.
#### Step 3: Set up other additional settings and save changes.
On cart page, when the cart subtotal of those items from A, B, C, or D categories reaches $100, the t-shirt will be automatically added for free.
