Buy X Get Y discount rule in the Discount Rules for WooCommerce plugin, refers to a promotion where customers who purchase a specific product (X) are eligible for a discount on another product (Y).

For example, if a customer buys a shirt (X), they can get Free/ Discount on Cap (Y). This type of promotion is the most popular BOGO deal in the e-commerce world.

This user guide explains how to implement the Buy X get Y offer in your WooCommerce store.

The quantities used in this example are only for demonstration purposes. You can modify them to suit your specific needs.

To customize your settings, simply adjust the "Min" and "Max" quantity fields in the discount tab as needed. These fields are designed to offer you greater flexibility.

Please note that before proceeding, you must have installed and activated the Discount Rules PRO plugin. It is important to note that this feature requires the PRO version.

Let’s get started,

This scenario lets customers get a Free product recursively, meaning the discount and quantity will repeat endlessly as the customer adds more items to their cart. Let’s create a discount rule for this scenario.

Here is the screenshot of the rule configuration that follows,

Step 1: Choose "All Products" (storewide) from the filter options (buy X section). You also have options like specific Categories, selected Products, Attributes, Tags, Sku’s and so on… You can choose the option depending upon your requirement.

Step 2: Choose “Buy X get Y - All” in the Discount/ Get Y section. You also have other options like “Buy X Get Y - Products” or “Buy X Get Y - Categories” depending on your requirement.

Step 3: Choose how to count the quantities as -> Filter set above (count all quantities in cart as together. For example, if a customer buys 2 of Product A and 3 of Product B, our plugin count 5 products as together)

Other available options to count quantities are:

Step 4: Select the mode of application as

Step 5: Save the rule.

Now, if a customer purchases 2 or more quantities, they will get 1 product as free (cheapest) for every 2 quantities.

Example 2 : Buy 2 or more products get one product as free (non-recursive)

This rule offers customers only one free product while buying 2 or more items, meaning the discount won't apply for any extra purchases.

Here is the screenshot of the rule configuration that follows,

Step 1: Choose "All Products" (storewide) from the filter options (buy X section). You also have options like specific Categories, selected Products, Attributes, Tags, Sku’s and so on… You can choose the option depending upon your requirement.

Step 2: Choose “Buy X get Y - All” in the Discount/ Get Y section. You also have other options like “Buy X Get Y - Products” or “Buy X Get Y - Categories” depending on your requirement.

Step 3: Choose how to count the quantities as -> Filter set above

Step 4: Select the mode of application as

Step 5: Save the rule.

Now, if a customer purchases 2 or more quantities, they will get only 1 product as free (cheapest product in cart).

This rule offers 20% off on every second purchase (recursive), while the customer buys 2 or more quantities.

Here is the screenshot of the rule configuration that follows,

Step 1: Choose "All Products" (storewide) from the filter options (buy X section). You also have options like specific Categories, selected Products, Attributes, Tags, Sku’s and so on… You can choose the option depending upon your requirement.

Step 2: Choose “Buy X get Y - All” in the Discount/ Get Y section. You also have other options like “Buy X Get Y - Products” or “Buy X Get Y - Categories” depending on your requirement.

Step 3: Choose how to count the quantities as -> Filter set above

Step 4: Select the mode of apply as

Step 5: Save the rule.

Now, if a customer purchases 2 or more quantities, they will get 20% off on 1 product (cheapest) for every 2 quantities added to cart.

This scenario lets customers choose a Free product from the list of given products. If you want to offer your customers the option to select a free product, you can set the mode of application to "cheapest" when setting up your discount.

Here is the screenshot of the rule configuration that follows,

Step 1: Choose "All Products" (storewide) from the filter options (buy X section). You also have options like specific Categories, selected Products, Attributes, Tags, Sku’s and so on… You can choose the option depending upon your requirement.

Step 2: Choose “Buy X get Y - Products” in the Discount/ Get Y section and enter the list of products that you would like to allow customers to pick from

Step 3: Choose how to count the quantities as -> Filter set above

Step 4: Select the mode of apply as

Step 5: Save the rule.

Now, the customer will get one product from the list of products as Free (cheapest), only if the customer manually adds a qualifying product to their cart.

This type of discount allows customers to purchase Product A and get Product B at a discounted or free price. It's a promotional strategy aimed at increasing sales, clearing inventory, and introducing or promoting products by bundling a popular product (Product A) with a discounted or free product (Product B). For example: Buy a shirt (Product A) at full price and get a belt (Product B) for free.

This type of discount allows customers to buy one product from a specific category and get another product from the same category at a discounted price or for free. This promotional strategy encourages customers to purchase more products from a particular category, promote related products, clear out inventory, and increase revenue. For example: Buy two shirts, get one free/ at 50% off.

This type of discount allows customers to buy products from Category A and get a 20% discount/ Free on products from Category B. It incentivizes customers to purchase from a particular category while promoting related products from another category. For example: Buy pet accessory, get 20% off pet food

This type of discount allows customers to receive a free product when their subtotal reaches a certain amount. For example, "Spend $50 and get a free t-shirt." The purpose of this type of discount is to incentivize customers to spend more money by offering a free product as a reward.

This type of discount allows customers to purchase two specific products (Product A and B) together and receive a discount on another product (Product C). For example: Buy peanut butter (Product A) and jelly (Product B) together and get a discount on bread (Product C).

The above discussed (Buy X Get Y) discount scenarios require a PRO version.
