admin buy cart code cover digital doesn edit ejunkie flat free item items order ordering page payment price problem product products qty refund save seller settings unit

Anyone have any ideas on how to do a buy 2 get one free? I know there is an answer, my brain just cannot come up with it right now. Each product is $25.00 so I want to give away 3 products for $50. If I put a whole cart discount of $25 for the $75 dollar order what happens if I have a $150 order, in which case it needs to be a $50 discount.

Can I just make two or 3 seperate discounts like take $25 off a $75 order, $50 off a $150 order etc? If so, can someone please give me babysteps on how to do this...Please!

Thank you,

J. Anne

Yes, making a series of Cart Discounts would be the way to accomplish this. We can now support setting discount thresholds by the total unit-quantity in the cart, which may be a bit easier to figure if all your products are the same price and get the same buy-2-get-1 discount, so e.g. you could create a series of discounts like this:

- $25 off the Item Total when Minimum Items in Cart is 3;
- $50 off the Item Total when Minimum Items in Cart is 6;
- $75 off the Item Total when Minimum Items in Cart is 9;
- $100 off the Item Total when Minimum Items in Cart is 12;
- etc. going as high as you wish.

You may decide that if someone is ordering a huginormous quantity (more than you would ever reasonably expect), they might as well just get a flat 33% off every item rather than having to order in threes to get every third item free, and this would be the last discount in your series, to cover all orders of that quantity and larger, e.g.:

- 33% off the Item Total when Minimum Items in Cart is 30.

One final note: when you want to edit or delete an existing Cart Discount you've created in Seller Admin > Cart Discounts, just select it from the menu there and click Load to view and edit its settings (or Delete to do that). Always remember to click Submit to save changes after editing any settings.

Thank you!

I have a problem here. I only need to apply like "buy 2 get 1" promotion to a particular item, not all items i am selling. HOw can i do that? It looks like the pecentage off discount would have to apply to all items.

The only product-specific discounts we support are Item Discount codes, where the buyer enters a code you specify in their cart to take a flat amount off the unit price of that product.

You could tell buyers they can enter that code to get, say, 33% off the price if they order 3 or more, but there's no way to block the Item Discount code if they order only 1 or 2 units, so for buyers who can't follow directions, you'd need to just refund such orders when they come in or contact buyers if they "forget" to add at least 3 units to their order.

Thanks. I know. But it is not convient for me to do so since the item was delivered instantly after payment. It is digital goods.

I hope ejunkie can suppport item specific % off discount soon.

Hi, I can see that this thread is pretty old, but I'm wondering if there is any update or plans to add some sort of functionality for individual items soon. I want to make a buy 3, get 1 free for two specific cart items.

As it is now, since the individual item discount applies to unit price instead of the total for that item, it doesn't seem you can set increments. Is it at all possible to change that?

It seems this would be a pretty basic function, considering the prevalence of 2 for 1 sales.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Our discount settings have been expanded since the earlier posts in this thread, so you can now specify Min. Item Qty. thresholds for item-specific discounts -- e.g., for a buy 3 get 1 free, you would select the relevant product and set Min. Item Qty. = 4 with a discount amount equal to one quarter of the per-unit price, so when the buyer adds 4 units of that item in their cart, the equivalent of 1 unit's price would be applied as a discount to their order.
