    Default Buy one, get one free?

    Is there any way to create a coupon for a "Buy one, Get one free" promotion?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    You could create a coupon for 50% of the product?

    Or us a qty discount that automatically discounts the product 50% when two are added to the cart. You just have to be careful how this is set up so they don't get 50% off if they order three as well. Perhaps something like:

    2 = 50%
    3 = 0%
    4 = 50%

    and so on.

    Or better yet, you could just set the restricted quantities to 2,4,6,8,10 etc. so the customer can't purchase 1, 3, or 5 of the items, and then use the quantity discount system to give 50% off.

    Can you use a quantity discount table with a coupon code?

    The simplest way to implement a "Buy One, Get One Free" promotion is to create a new Product for it, with a unique SKU. You can Clone the original product, then adjust the variant; the price would be the same, but the weight would be doubled.

    The discount table scheme won't work, as the discount is applied to the entire line item total, not to each individual unit.
