 * '''Offer products for free''' - allows you to enable your customers to receive free products. Please note that free products are not added to a qualified order automatically. The customer who is placing that order has to click the "Check for special offers" link before checking out, and then add products from the list of available free products to cart.
 * '''Offer membership''' - allows you to enable your customers to sign up for a membership that grants privileges in using the store. If a special offer that gives ability to sign up for some membership is applied to a purchase, the customer is informed about it by a message displayed in the shopping cart before checkout. As soon as the order gets the status Complete, the customer can visit the section ‘My bonuses’ available via Your cart menu and select a membership that he would like to have. The chosen membership will be granted to him automatically upon request. Please note that memberships are only given to customers who declare their wish to get them by signing up.

 The administrative part of X-SpecialOffers module is handled by the store administrators and providers.
 In X-Cart GOLD and GOLD PLUS, the store admin/provider fully controls the work of the module:
 * enables the module and adjusts the module settings,
 * configures special offers (defines bonuses and conditions, creates promo-blocks, adjusts availability and duration for each offer),
 * manages existing special offers,
 * has access to information about the number of bonus points earned by specific customers and edits the number of bonus points if necessary.
