# Checkout triggers

> This article explains how to create and manage triggers and the underlying logic, so you can understand what customers will see.

Triggers enable you to segment your customers and display a customized set of widgets for each of them. By using triggers, you can design more precise and personalized widgets:

* [Products](#products)
* [Cart](#cart)
* [Discount](#discount)
* [Customer](#customer)
* [Advanced](#advanced)

### **Products**

The Product Trigger works by displaying the widget only if the customer has purchased a specific product.

* Specific products:

  Use this option for individual products or variants. Select the products you want to trigger the widget. When a customer purchases any of these products, the widget will appear.

* Specific collections:

  This option works when any item in the cart belongs a specific collection. Select the collection you want to trigger the widget. When a customer purchases any item from the collection, the widget will appear.

  * You can set the product/collection trigger to show for all customers or conditionally based on the following criteria:

    1. Contains at least one of:

    Shows the widget if the cart contains at least one of the selected products/collections.

    2. Does not contain any of:

    Shows the widget if the cart does not contain any of the selected products/collections.

* Quantity of specific product:

  For example, 2 or more of a specific product

  Set the trigger to show the widget if a customer purchases two or more of a specific product.

* Product tag:

  Shows the widget if any product in the cart has one of the specified Shopify tags. Tag matching is case-insensitive.

  For example, set the trigger to include the tag `summer-collection` to show the widget only when a tagged product is in the cart.

* Product type:

  Shows the widget if any product in the cart belongs to one of the specified product types.

  For example, set the trigger to include `Apparel` to show the widget only when an apparel product is in the cart.

* Variant name:

  Shows the widget if any cart variant title matches one of the specified strings. Matching is case-insensitive.

  For example, set the trigger to include `Large` to show the widget only when a large-size variant is in the cart.

* Product metafield:

  Shows the widget if any product in the cart has a metafield (identified by namespace and key) whose value matches the specified condition (equals or contains).

  > **Note:** Metafield values are evaluated at the time the widget is displayed, not at order placement. If a customer removes the matching product and adds a different product after the widget loads, the widget may still appear.

* Variant metafield:

  Shows the widget if any variant in the cart has a metafield (identified by namespace and key) whose value matches the specified condition (equals or contains).

  > **Note:** Same evaluation timing applies as with product metafields above.

### **Cart**

* Subtotal:

  The combined value of all items before discounts, tax, and shipping.
* Quantity:

  The total number of items in the cart. You can set this trigger to show the widget when the cart quantity is greater than, less than, or exactly equal to a specified number.
* Subscription purchase:

  Indicates if any item in the cart is a subscription.
* Cart attribute:

  Shows the widget based on a cart-level attribute key and value (equals or contains). This is useful for targeting customers based on data set by other apps or integrations (for example, loyalty status set by a third-party app).

  > **Note:** Only one distinct cart attribute key can be used across all active checkout widgets. If another widget already uses a cart attribute trigger with a different key, you must use the same key or update the other widget. The same key can be reused across multiple widgets with different values.

***

### **Discount**

* Applied discount titles:

  Verify if a specific discount is applied during checkout
* Discount value:

  Track the total sum of discounts applied at checkout

***

### **Customer**

* Shipping country:

  Target specific shipping destinations
* Customer language:

  Display personalized content based on the customer's language.

  For example, show French content exclusively to French-speaking customers.

  You can set the customer language trigger to "**is French**" and translate all editable fields in the widget to French.

***

### **Advanced**

* Group of triggers:

  Combine multiple triggers for complex logic

  For example, show a widget if a customer has both product X and product Y in their cart.

  You can set the product trigger condition to contain both product X and product Y, so the widget will appear accordingly.
