Set the Discount Logic

Under the Reward section on the right:

  • Required number of items: 2
    (Customer must buy at least 2 items)

  • Number of discounted items: 1
    (Customer receives 1 additional item at a discount)

  • Discount: 100%
    (Free item)

 

Define the Scope

Under the Category section:

  • Selected categories: Choose the relevant category (e.g., Helmets)

You can also filter the promotion further using:

  • Brand, Season, or Product-level filters

  • Customer groups, Stores, or Order types in the left-hand panel

 

Combination Settings 

  • Can be combined: Enable this if the 3 for 2 promotion should work together with other discounts

  • Always apply: Optional—forces the promotion to apply even if others can’t be combined

  • Customer club: Enable if the offer should only be available to club members

  • Coupon code: Enable and define a code if the promotion should require manual activation

     


    Optional: Limit to Customer Club Members

  • To make the promotion available only to customer club members:

  • In the left-hand panel, scroll to Customer Club

  • Toggle the switch to enable



Optional: Require a Coupon Code

If you want to require a code at checkout:

  • Enable the Coupon code toggle

  • Enter the code customers must use to activate the discount.

Final Step

Click Save when everything is configured.

Result:
When customers add 3 helmets to their cart, the cheapest one will be free. The promotion will apply automatically if all rules are met.
