Buy X get Y for free

It is so popular when you go shopping and see the banner with appealing promotions such as “buy 1 get 1”, “buy two for one free”, “buy two pay one”, etc. These deals are definitely engaging to shoppers, both offline and online. For the Magento store, they can set free gifts for any specific product, which is similar to “buy 1 get 1 free’. For example, to encourage customer buying iPhone X, they can set up the program “Buy iPhone X get a free pair of Beat Wireless headphones”

Any shoppers love to have a bargain. Beside “buy 1 get 1 free”, Magento admin can also set the discount for product A when buying along with product B. This is likely used to boost sales of both these two product types. For example, buy iPhone 11 Max pro get Apple Watch Series 3 with 60% off.

Free X when reaching an order amount Y

In order to encourage customers to shop more and more, Magento stores can push them to a limit of order total then at that limit giving them a prize. Depending on the order value, the prize should be equivalent in value. I mean, for example, you sell accessories, if order total reaches $50, customers will get a free bracelet of $5. If customers buy the order over $100, they can have a $10 necklet for free.

Free gifts are assigned to specific products based on two types of conditions: Cart rules and product attribute rules.

With catalog rule, admin can set multiple conditions (Magento default allows) such as with an order of subtotal more than $100, customers can have a free water bottle.

Regarding product attribute rules, any product attributes can be selected with specific conditions such as buying laptop category will get a free mouse.

Not only a totally free gift can be created, but Magento admins can also set up gift prices as discounted by percentage or at a fixed amount. By this, for different campaigns, the store owner can set the appropriate promotions with gifts flexibly.
