Buy X Get X discount is a promotion offered in a WooCommerce store where customers receive a discount or free product after purchasing a specified quantity of the same product.
For example, "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" or "Buy One Get 50% off on the second quantity of the same product." This type of discount encourages customers to purchase more products and can help increase sales and customer loyalty.
Creating BOGO offers for the same products is now simple with the Discount Rules PRO plugin for WooCommerce. This is a popular deal offered by online stores where customers get a free quantity of the same product.
Example scenarios:
Buy 1 get 1 free, Buy 2 get 2, Buy 3 get 3 and so on…
Buy 2 get $10 off on 3rd product
Buy one and get the second quantity at 50% discount
To create X get X rules, you must have the Discount Rules PRO plugin installed and activated. Purchase the PRO version by clicking on the button below.
Now, let’s take a look at the examples one by one in detail.
Example 1 : Buy 1 get 1 free, Buy 2 get 2, Buy 3 get 3 and so on…
This example illustrates how to provide a free product as a promotion when a customer purchases a specific product or buys a certain quantity. The "Recursive" option is enabled, so the quantity of the free product will increase each time the customer buys more.

Creating a Discount Rule:

To offer a free product recursively, follow these steps:
Choose "All Products" as Filter or other options such as Categories, Products, Attributes, Tags, or Sku's.
Set the minimum and free quantity to 1.
Set the discount type to FREE or choose a percentage/fixed discount based on your needs.
Enable the "Recursive" checkbox for the promotion to repeat endlessly based on buy X count.
Click "SAVE" after creating the rule successfully.
Let's explore how the above scenario works:
Free quantities will be added to cart automatically and marked as "Free." The number of free products increases with each increase in quantity.
To avoid the discount falling into a loop, free product is added as a separate line item.
The screenshot below illustrates how the discount is applied on the cart page:
Example 2 : Buy 3 get $10 off on 3rd product
This example shows how to implement a promotion that offers a fixed discount of $10 on the third quantity when a customer purchases three units of the same product. This promotion encourages customers to buy in larger quantities by providing them with a discount for reaching a certain threshold.
