Yes, making a series of Cart Discounts would be the way to accomplish this. We can now support setting discount thresholds by the total unit-quantity in the cart, which may be a bit easier to figure if all your products are the same price and get the same buy-2-get-1 discount, so e.g. you could create a series of discounts like this:



- $25 off the Item Total when Minimum Items in Cart is 3;

- $50 off the Item Total when Minimum Items in Cart is 6;

- $75 off the Item Total when Minimum Items in Cart is 9;

- $100 off the Item Total when Minimum Items in Cart is 12;

- etc. going as high as you wish.



You may decide that if someone is ordering a huginormous quantity (more than you would ever reasonably expect), they might as well just get a flat 33% off every item rather than having to order in threes to get every third item free, and this would be the last discount in your series, to cover all orders of that quantity and larger, e.g.:



- 33% off the Item Total when Minimum Items in Cart is 30.



One final note: when you want to edit or delete an existing Cart Discount you've created in Seller Admin > Cart Discounts, just select it from the menu there and click Load to view and edit its settings (or Delete to do that). Always remember to click Submit to save changes after editing any settings.

I have a problem here. I only need to apply like "buy 2 get 1" promotion to a particular item, not all items i am selling. HOw can i do that? It looks like the pecentage off discount would have to apply to all items.

The only product-specific discounts we support are Item Discount codes, where the buyer enters a code you specify in their cart to take a flat amount off the unit price of that product.



You could tell buyers they can enter that code to get, say, 33% off the price if they order 3 or more, but there's no way to block the Item Discount code if they order only 1 or 2 units, so for buyers who can't follow directions, you'd need to just refund such orders when they come in or contact buyers if they "forget" to add at least 3 units to their order.

Thanks. I know. But it is not convient for me to do so since the item was delivered instantly after payment. It is digital goods.



I hope ejunkie can suppport item specific % off discount soon.

Hi, I can see that this thread is pretty old, but I'm wondering if there is any update or plans to add some sort of functionality for individual items soon. I want to make a buy 3, get 1 free for two specific cart items.



As it is now, since the individual item discount applies to unit price instead of the total for that item, it doesn't seem you can set increments. Is it at all possible to change that?



It seems this would be a pretty basic function, considering the prevalence of 2 for 1 sales.



Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Our discount settings have been expanded since the earlier posts in this thread, so you can now specify Min. Item Qty. thresholds for item-specific discounts -- e.g., for a buy 3 get 1 free, you would select the relevant product and set Min. Item Qty. = 4 with a discount amount equal to one quarter of the per-unit price, so when the buyer adds 4 units of that item in their cart, the equivalent of 1 unit's price would be applied as a discount to their order.



This help page explains our current discount settings in detail:

Hi there, I'm using the "pay what you want" setting and when someone spends over $10 on that particular product I would like them to be given a different product for free (for their generosity). Is this possible to do? Many thanks

Sorry, but our system has no built-in way of adding an item to the buyer's cart based on the price or presence of any other item in the cart. You could just remember to throw in the free bonus item when you ship the primary item if it was purchased for over $10, without having the buyer add the bonus item to their cart.



It might be possible to do what you described with some custom javascript in your page -- e.g., MuvEnum Software has devised a way to offer a Backup CD add-on item only when any of their download items are added in the cart, and removing the download item also removes its Backup CD add-on item -- Add to Cart any item here to see this in action:

If you're handy with javascript, you might examine their code to figure out how they did that; otherwise, you might contact them to ask for assistance, or contact any of the competent, E-junkie-experienced developers for hire listed at the Developer Directory link at the very top of this page.
