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:
