3 for 2 discount guide
Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a 3-for-2 Discount
A 3 for 2 discount, as the name suggests, offers customers the opportunity to receive the third item at no cost. This can apply to either a third of the same item, the least expensive item, or exceptionally, the most expensive item.
In this example, we'll be implementing a 3 for 2 discount where the least expensive item is free:
- Go to Commerce > Discounts
- Click New discount
- Select Percentage as the discount type because we're creating an percentage-based discount
- In the Discount-tab, configure the following settings:
- Provide a Name, e.g. 3 for 2 discount, the name shown on the order when applied discount
- Check the Active checkbox
- If needed, add a Description
- Set the Percentage to 100%
- Select Order at Apply as
- Select Cheapest product at Apply to
- Switch to the Conditions-tab, here multiple configurations are possible, but we'll only touch on the essentials
- In the Product quantity-section configure the following:
- Set Quantifier to Any product
- Set Product quantity to 3
- If necessary, in the Product Catalog-section you can e.g. set the discount to include or exclude certain product or product groups
- In the Product quantity-section configure the following:
- Click Save and close
If we take a look at the frontend cart now, we'll notice that it's been updated to include the 3 for 2 discount automatically, ensuring that the cheapest product is free.
