Buy X Get Y

This Discount Type involves the purchase of product X and receive product Y at a discounted price or free. Both products must be in the shopping cart to properly reflect the discount. For example:

Buy 2 pairs of shoes and get another pair for 50% off.
Buy 1 pair of shoes and get 2 sets of laces free. (NOTE: When using a "Get" product that has a quantity greater than 1, the quantity is always for the same "Get" item.)

Website Note:

This is an example of how Buy X Get Y is managed in the website shopping cart. Since the deal is applied at the item level when adding the "Get" item to the cart, like products will be broken out to separate lines based on the deal criteria. For example, if the deal is Buy 3 and Get 1 free, and if the customer orders 11 of the same item, the ordered product will be broken out into 2 lines, one for 3 and one for 8.

Set Discount Detail Attributes

Follow the steps below to setup Discount Detail Attributes for a Buy X Get Y discount promotion.

When there are multiple items being purchased using a Buy X Get Y promotion, the system applies the Buy and Get items as follows after first sorting them from highest retail price to lowest retail price.

The system doesn't consider the sequence in which items are entered, you can ring them in any order.
As items are added, you will notice the shifting of which item is discounted.
After all items are entered, the system does a final sorting from most expensive to least and assigns discount to whichever items meet positions based on deal Buy and Get thresholds.

Below is an example for a Buy 2 and Get 1 discount.

Item Price as Scanned	How System Sorts pricing	Deal Designation
$17.00	$20.00	Buy item #1
$10.00	$17.00	Buy item #2
$15.00	$15.00	Get item #1 (discounted)
$6.00	$12.00	Buy item #4
$12.00	$10.00	Buy item #5
$20.00	$6.00	Get item #2 (discounted)

NOTE: Like most of the CORESense deal calculation types, the system is setup to award the customer the better deal. So when the first group of 3 is recognized, the least expensive is discounted and any remaining items beyond item 3 (until 6 is reached), the better deal for the customer is discounted and applied.

Follow the steps below to set the Discount Details.

Step	Action
1	In the Buy Quantity field, indicate the number of items that need to be purchased at regular price to activate the deal. In the Get Quantity field, indicate the number of items the customer must purchase to get the discount once the Buy Quantity is met. In the Minimum Get Quantity field, if it is set then the deal will apply to orders having at least that amount of products defined by GET Products list. NOTE: The BOGO doesn't apply until you have both the BUY and the GET items total in your cart. In the Get Discount Amount field, indicate the percentage or dollar amount to be discounted off the Get item when the promotion is activated. For example if an item is free once the Buy Quantity has been met, the Get Discount Amount should be set to 100% or the actual dollar amount of the Get item. If the option Get products of any price apply? If set to NO then the system only applies the deal to products that are less than or equal to the price of the BUY Product. If set toYES then the system applies the deal to any Get products (that match existing criteria) regardless of that product’s price. This would allow a Get product of higher value than a Buy product to be identified as the free gift.
2	Click the Create New Promotion button to confirm the General and Detail attributes.
3	Confirm the promotion by clicking OK or click Cancel to go back to edit attributes.
