Overview



With this promo type, you can create offers where you can give customers buying a set number of one Product a discount on a set number of the same Product or a different Product. You can also use this promo code with a Product with variants. 

 

This Product promo code allows you to give customers a discounted price for a specified quantity (Y) of a product when they buy a certain number (X) of a specific product. You can work this promo in different ways. One is some variation of the 'buy two pizzas, get one garlic bread at a discounted price'. Another is the ''buy two pairs of glasses, get one at the discounted price' offer. It can also be used with Master products so that all child products are automatically included. (See Special use with Master product below.)

Step-by-step guide

This guide will help you create a promotion using this promo code type.

  1. In the CMS, navigate to Campaigns & Promotions → Promotion Codes

  2. Click Add Promotion Code.

  3. In the Select Promotion Type list, select Product
     
  4. Select the scenario 'When I buy X quantity of specific product then I can buy Y quantity of specific product at a specified price'.

     
  5. Enter the Promotion Code your customers will use at checkout. 

      
  6. Enter a Description. This will be displayed in the user's cart and in their order summary. 

     
  7. Set the promotion's Start and End Dates

  8. Enter the Discount Quantity Threshold. This is the number of qualifying product your customer must purchase to be eligible for the discounted pricing.  
  9. Add the Eligible Product, searching by either description or code. (Once you click Add, the description will be replaced by the code only).


  10. Add the Special Price Product, again searching by description or product code. This product can be different from the Eligible Product (as in the pizza and garlic bread example) or the same (as in the glasses example).


  11. Enter the Qty of the product your customer can buy at the discounted price when they qualify for the promotion.
  12. Decide whether this promo will Apply In Multiples. That is, if 2 pizzas qualifies your customer for 1 cheap garlic bread, then 4 pizzas will entitle them to 2 cheap garlic breads. 


  13. Click Save & Exit to finish creating your promo code.  


Please be aware that there are also additional advanced options that you can configure for promotions.  They become available after the promo is created.  You'll find info on these under Advanced Options, later on this page.

Special use with Master and Child products (variants)

Master products are products that have child products (variants). (For details on how they work, see the Product Variants page.)


You can use this promo code type with products in a Master/Child relationship in various ways. For example, 'buy any 2 variant products in a Master product range and get 1 at a discounted price' - 'buy any 3 large pizzas in our premium range and get 1 for $10'. Or 'buy 3 of a specific product and get 1 different product (any variant of a Master product) at a discount' - 'buy 3 pizzas and get 1 2L softdrink for $1'.


Use Case

In the use case here, our store sells medical garb and wants to use the promo code to encourage the purchase of matching tunic and trousers. For the promotion, the trousers has been enabled as a Master product. It, along with the matching tunic, are added as Child products.  A customer must buy one of each to get the tunic at a discount price.

We can now go to Promotion Codes to create the promo code.

  1. Follow steps 1-4 to reach the Promo codes page.

  2. Enter details of the promotion code as required. Here is an example:


  3. Click Save and Exit. The promo is active from the start date to the end date.

Let's say your customer adds the eligible product to their order, in this case, the medical scrub trousers, and also adds the matching tunic. In the Shopping Cart, before adding the promo code, the normal prices are displayed. After applying the promo code, the special price on the discount product is calculated.
Note - your customer could have also brought up the discount by adding just the correct number of eligible products, going straight to the Shopping Cart, and entering the promo code.
