***

### 🧠 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

1. Go to **Unified Discounts → Create Discount**.
2. Select **General Discount**.
3. Give it a name — for example:\
   **Buy 2, Get 1 at 50% Off**
4. In the **Discount Value** field, enter **50%**.

***

#### 2. Configure Match Quantity Settings

1. Click the ⚙️ **Settings icon**.
2. Turn on **Match Quantity**.
3. Click **Add Group** and give it a name — e.g. `Hydrogen Group`.

***

#### 3. Define the Group and Rules

Set the following:

<table><thead><tr><th width="255.05859375">Setting</th><th>Value</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Product collection</strong></td><td>Hydrogen</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Rule</strong></td><td>Applies only if customer buys <strong>more than 2 items</strong></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Target</strong></td><td>Same collection (Hydrogen)</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Maximum Quantity</strong></td><td>Dynamic: <code>hydrogen ÷ 2</code></td></tr></tbody></table>

> 💡 **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:

1. Under **Line Limit**, choose **Minimum**.
2. 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.
