Thread: B.o.g.o.f

We are running a promotion with a manufacturer were they are offering Buy One Get One Free

Would like to know if anyone else has set this up and how they did it...

OK - in no particular order... Here goes.


You can kind of manage it with qty discounts.
Or....
You can create a clone of the product & set it as an upsell item with 100% discount.
Or....
You can create a clone of the product & make it £0.00 & have it as a required product for the full price version & vice versa. (in older 6.x versions this caused problems when removing one from the cart but seems to be ok now).
Or....
You can just include messaging that for every one they buy, then you'll despatch 2 & have your warehouse handle it.
Or....
(if you're going to sell enough) - just reduce the price by 50%

Hi again

It progresses.... the promotion is actually if you buy X (any product from a certain range) then you get product Y free.

Any ideas how to set this up???

Ta

custom code is required...as you see from BFG's response, there are literally 100's of ways/combinations to set this up...we cannot predict or automate them all.

You can just include messaging that for every one they buy, then you'll despatch 2 & have your warehouse handle it.

That's what we do.

Works good that way. I am interested though to see if anyone has done a "Mix and Match" on SF. Would be good if a customer can buy one product and choose one from a range of their choice.

Administrator is correct. You would need some custom coding to have this done. We're doing a Buy Quantity # of VariantA+COLOR+SKU and get Y free right now for a client and it is being done with access to source code.

For the particular customer, it was done as a coupon for "buy one get one free."

In the cart the discount showed as 2 being the same cost as 1, 4 the cost of 2, etc. There wasn't a requirement that the free ones showing seperate line item in the cart, but that could be done as well, for marketing purposes (look what you're getting for free!)

The modification was done using base source if I remember right. It was a non-trivial modification, but mostly from the "how am I going to implement this" perspective, not the actual coding.

Having done this before it wouldn't be terribly difficult to implement again.

Hi,

It requires function customization. If you are interested in someone to work for you, please contact Misakko Inc.. You can find our contact information in my signature.

Hi I am Ramon from JairoSolutions Inc a DevNet partner what I can suggest is to work around to make a 50% off coupon applicable to products of that manufaturer only. so when customer buys 2 pcs they only pay for 1. but there is still some customization needed. You can email me at info@jairosolutions.com.


Many Thanks

In that case, either one of these will work.

Set Product Y as an upsell item ( on each qualifying product ) with 100% discount.
Or....
You can just include messaging that for every qualifying product they buy, then you'll despatch product Y for free & have your warehouse handle it.[/QUOTE]
