Discounts: buy 1 get the second 1 half price

StephenBlignault

We have had several clients ask us about how to set up a discount for 'buy 1 get the second 1 half price'. Currently it is workable with a few conditions and math, but it's not ideal ideal.

Perhaps the feature could operate mathematically like this:
'Buy X get the Y number of products at Z discount'.

Thanks

@StephenBlignault Just had another customer request this, I think it would be a very good enhancement

I have just had another request for a discount setup scenario.

"Buy X number of products from a category, and get Y free"

The request was: Buy 8 products from this category and get the cheapest of the 8 products free (100% discounted).

I think the setup can be broken down into 3 steps

Items: X number of items in the the cart
Conditions: Brand / Category / Specific Products
Discount: Flat Rate / Percentage / Free Product / Discount off selected product

This helps incentivise adding more items to the cart, adding more value to each sale transaction, giving customers better value, and ability to reduce stock.

Thanks for this feedback. I think this comes under the umbrella of having 'tiered pricing discounts'.
Where once you buy a certain quantity, the price is reduced.
This is certainly on our radar to develop as we have had it requested many times over the past few years.

We've had another request specifically for X products ordered within a "Product Category".
It highlights the importance of needing to be able to select: individual products, brands, or categories of what it's applicable to.
