What Is the "Order Free Samples" Extension?

The “Order Free Samples” extension is a practical solution that empowers customers to order free samples of selected items directly from their product detail pages (PDP). This seamless and intuitive feature allows users to experience a product firsthand before making a full commitment.
 
Here’s how it works:
  • Customers visiting the PDP of eligible items will see an option to order a sample.
  • They can add a single sample to their cart (quantity limited to one per item).
  • The added sample is linked to a generic SKU with a transaction line field indicating the original item the sample represents.
 
This simple yet powerful solution is perfect for businesses that want to build trust, showcase their products, and reduce the hesitation customers might feel before purchasing a new or unfamiliar item.

Why Choose the "Order Free Samples" Extension?

Offering free samples is a tried-and-true marketing strategy that boosts customer confidence, encourages product exploration, and drives conversions. However, implementing this feature in an online shopping environment can be challenging. That’s where our extension steps in.

For new or premium products, customers often want to try before they buy. By offering free samples, you can bridge the gap, build trust, and give them the confidence they need to make a purchase.

Free samples are an excellent way to introduce customers to new items, expand your product reach, and showcase the quality and benefits of your offerings.

When customers have the opportunity to experience a product firsthand, they’re more likely to return and make a full purchase. It’s a win-win for both you and your customers.

With smart SKU management and direct integration into the PDP, our extension streamlines the ordering process for both customers and your team. It’s a simple, efficient, and effective way to manage free sample requests.
