Product Packages (e.g. Buy 2, get 1 Free?)

by moorage - Member - 05:52PM, Jul 02, 2008

I’m trying to figure out how to implement a pretty standard type of promotion that we have going on at our store. The general idea is that I only want the promotions to apply for certain types of items, if enough of those certain types of items are in the cart.

For example:

Buy 2 jersey’s, get a free t-shirt (there are 2 different jersey products, and 3 different t-shirt products)

Let me know!

Best,
Matt

I think its possible but its very technical
But after reviewing the sprout web-site you might have someone near by that can do this.

This is the only current known way I could think of how to do it.

You would need a remote server that would have a subscription to your order rss feed and when it receives new orders you would need to write a script that would come up with the logic to send send an email based off the pulled information.

Is there somewhere I can read more about this? Where would I send the email? What would the email contain?

Why not implementing the logic right into your cart.liquid template?

Check whether your cart contains 2 jerseys and 1 t-shirt (explain the promotion clearly on your site, that a rebate will appear in the cart… if all products are there…added by the customer). Then if that condition is met, take the price of the t-shirt item, and substract a rebate equal to that t-shirt’s price. (Taxes then will be applicable before ‘rebate’, pretty standard).

Now I am not sure about the last part. I do not have a plan that allows discounts so I am not sure how discounts work.
