# Product in cart and Variant selector

Discounts based on specific products or variants in the cart.

There are two product conditions:

-   **Product in cart**: matches whole products, so any variant counts.
    
-   **Variant selector**: matches only the variants you pick, for example only the "Large" size.
    

## Operators

-   **Contains**: at least one selected product is in the cart. Other items are fine.
    
-   **Contains (all)**: every selected product is in the cart. Good for bundles: "Product A and Product B".
    
-   **Contains (any / strict mode)**: at least one selected product is in the cart, **and nothing else**. One other item and the discount doesn't apply.
    
-   **Does not contain**: none of the selected products are in the cart.

**Strict mode counts everything in the cart**, including add-ons like shipping protection, gift wrap or an automatic free gift. Add those products to your selection, or the discount won't apply when they're in the cart.

**Shopify bundles:** select the bundle product itself, not the products inside it.

## Selecting products

Search, or click **Browse** to open Shopify's product picker.

In **Variant selector**, choosing every variant of a product matches the whole product, including variants you add later. Choosing some variants matches only those.

## Limits

-   Up to **150 products** per condition.
    
-   With a lot of products selected, a warning appears because the condition can stop working. Use a [Product collection condition](https://rmewfqxya.us.gleap.help/en/articles/18-collection-conditions.md) instead: put the products in a collection and target the collection.
    
-   Variant selections use more space than whole products. If you've picked every variant of many products, use **Product in cart** instead.
    
-   To target by **product tag**, create a smart collection based on the tag and target the collection.
    

## Examples

-   **Free shipping on a heavy item**: Product in cart **Contains** Garden Bench.
    
-   **Free shipping when buying a set**: Product in cart **Contains (all)** Shampoo, Conditioner.
    
-   **Samples ship free, but only on their own**: Product in cart **Contains (any / strict mode)** Sample Pack.
