How do I create and run 'buy '2X' and get 'X' free' kind of promotions at my web store?
- Here if a customer Purchases 'X' product in Qty-2, the customer gets another 'X' product (i.e. same product) of Qty-1 as a free product.
- It can be also treated as 'buy 3 products and get 100% off on 'Web Price' of 1 Product'. So, we will proceed in this way.
Note: The following screenshots depict the promotion step by step:
Rule Information:
- Please note that the 'Is Repetitive' option is 'Yes' and the 'Allow Further Promotions'? option is 'No' here.
- Note: Please refer Add a Cart Promotion for configuring the rest of fields in 'Rule Information'.

Actions Conditions:
- When the user updates the cart with 1 qty of CELKON C11 Dual Handsets SKU, no discount will be applied.
- When the user updates the cart with 2 qty of CELKON C11 Dual Handsets SKU, no discount will be applied.
- When the user updates the cart with 3 qty of CELKON C11 Dual Handsets SKU, 100% discount will be applied on 1 product. i.e. 'Buy 2X, and get 1X free' Promotion is satisfied here.
- The user may go for the additional purchase of the same item as there is a promotion. In this example, the Is Repetitive? option was selected as Yes. So, see how the promotion works.
- When the user updates the cart with 4 qty of CELKON C11 Dual Handsets SKU, 100% discount will be applied for qty 1.
- Similarly, when the user updates the cart with 5 qty of CELKON C11 Dual Handsets SKU, 100% discount will be applied for qty 1.
- But, when the user updates the cart with 6 qty of CELKON C11 Dual Handsets SKU, 100% discount will be applied for qty 2. It means, if the user buys 4X, the user will get 2x free. i.e. the 'Buy 4X, and get 2X free' Promotion also satisfied here as the Is Repetitive? option was selected as Yes.
- Note: In this Promotion, if the Is Repetitive option is selected as No, the discounts will be as follows:
- for Qty-1 > No discount;
- Qty-2 > No Discount;
- Qty-3 > 100% discount on 1 product;
- Qty-4 > No discount even on 1 product
- Qty-5 > No discount even on 1 product
- Qty-6 > No Discount even on 1 product …
- So, if the Is Repetitive? option is No, the discount will be applied when exactly qty 3 are purchased.
- In this example, as the products defined through 'Actions Conditions' are directly added to the cart, the Special offer(s) section and the Avail Offer link will not be displayed on the cart page. Hence, the promotional message defined in the 'Message for Action Conditions' text box of the 'Rule Information' section also not displayed on the cart page, which has to be displayed on the Special Offer(s) section.
- So, the user can't know whether any offers are available or not. However, you can display promotional message by following the following method:
How to display a promotional message in this example?
- To display the 'Message for Action Conditions' (i.e. promotional message), in this scenario, you need to define another promotion prior to this promotion with the Allow Further Promotions ? option is selected as Yes as mentioned below:
- First, change the sequence number of previous promotion (i.e. which was discussed above) as 2 (if previous sequence number is '1')
- Note: We need to change the sequence of previous promotion as said above because we want to create another promotion for displaying popup which would apply prior to the previous promotion.
- Add another promotion as per the following screenshots.
Rule Information:
- Note: Please mention the clear message in the Message for Action Conditions text box, so that the user can avail the offer without any misunderstanding.
- Please note that 'Is Repetitive' is 'No' and 'Allow Further Promotions'? is 'Yes' here.
Conditions:
Actions:

- When the user clicks the Avail Offer link, a popup will be displayed with offer message and offer products.
- When the user adds 3 products of CELKON C11 Dual Handsets, the 100% discount has been applied on 1 product. i.e. Buy '2X' and get '1X' free satisfied.
