BXGY but on the cheaper item
Looking to set up a Buy 2, Get 1 at 50% Off on the cheaper item offer for your Black Friday–Cyber Monday (BFCM) promos?
Here’s how you can build a smart BOGO in Unified Discounts — fully automated and collection-based.
🧠 Offer Overview
We’ll create a rule where:
If a customer buys 2 or more products from a specific collection, they’ll get 1 cheaper item from the same collection at 50% off.
For this walkthrough, we’ll use the sample collection called Hydrogen, which contains Liquid, Hydrogen and Oxygen products.
⚙️ Step-by-Step Setup
1. Create a New Discount
Go to Unified Discounts → Create Discount.
Select General Discount.
Give it a name — for example: Buy 2, Get 1 at 50% Off
In the Discount Value field, enter 50%.
2. Configure Match Quantity Settings
Click the ⚙️ Settings icon.
Turn on Match Quantity.
Click Add Group and give it a name — e.g.
Hydrogen Group.
3. Define the Group and Rules
Set the following:
Product collection
Hydrogen
Rule
Applies only if customer buys more than 2 items
Target
Same collection (Hydrogen)
Maximum Quantity
Dynamic: hydrogen ÷ 2
💡 What this means:
If 2 items are in the cart → 1 gets 50% off
If 4 items are in the cart → 2 get 50% off
If 3 items are in the cart → 1 gets 50% off (it always rounds down)
4. Prioritize the Cheaper Item
To ensure the discount applies to the cheaper line item:
Under Line Limit, choose Minimum.
Set Limit to
999(the number doesn’t matter — it’s just for sorting).
Click Save.
🧾 Example in Action
Let’s say your Hydrogen collection has:
Liquid x 3 – $27
Hydrogen x 3 – $21
If a customer buys 6 products:
The cheaper items (Hydrogen) get 50% off.
That means $21 ÷ 2 = $10.5 or $3.5 per unit.
Three units are discounted, so the total discount = $10.5
When the customer adds more items, the offer scales dynamically. For 8 total items (4+4), 4 of them get 50% off.
✅ Summary
Your Buy 2, Get 1 at 50% Off offer is now live! Here’s what you’ve set up:
🎯 Applies to a specific collection
⚖️ Discounts only the cheaper item(s)
🔄 Scales automatically as quantity increases
Perfect for BFCM promotions or holiday bundles.
Tip:
Experiment with different ratio formulas (like ÷3 for “Buy 3, Get 1”) to customize your offer structure.
