Coupon Function

Post by ZPCAC » Mon May 09, 2016 8:06 am

Ideally I would like to have a coupon that once a buyer buys more than 4 of this specific product that a totally different product is added to the cart for free.

Example : buy 2 pairs of nike shoes and get a free nike hat

also this will not repeat and only be in affect for one product
Any direction would be appreciated !

Thanks!!

Hi there,

It's not possible to do this without a customization. The buy X and receive X only applies to the same product. For example, buy 3 tires and get the fourth for free. The coupon is applied on the final checkout page, so the custom code would need to add the product to the order at that point. The trouble with this idea though, is that you might need to figure out how tax and/or shipping is handled in the case of an entire basket recalculation after the free product is added. To me, it would almost seem more logical to apply the coupon to the shopping cart (before checkout) so you could make sure to have accurate tax/shipping for the order.

Hope this helps,
Katie

Hi Bret,

Sorry, but these kinds of changes require a customization and unfortunately, I'm not a developer so I can't really provide you any code to do that. Maybe a developer will be able to help with this question.
