Promotion result type descriptions
Optimizely Configured Commerce includes several promotion results that define what happens when a promotion's rules are met. These results range from adding free products to applying various discounts across orders, shipping, categories, or specific product lines.
Add free product
Adds a specified free product to customer order. Often used for buy-one-get-one or gift-with-purchase promotions
Amount – Used to set the quantity of free product that will be added to the order
Product – Defines the free product that will be added to the order
Buy one get one
Adds one unit of a free product for each qualifying unit the customer purchases. When a customer buys two qualifying items, they receive two free items; three qualifying items earn three free items, and so on.
Use this result type when each qualifying purchase should independently earn a free item. To add a single free item to the order regardless of quantity, use Add Free Product instead.
Qualifying product – The product the customer must purchase to earn the free item. Only cart lines containing this product count toward the qualifying quantity.
Qty Required – The number of units of the qualifying product required to earn one free item. For a true "buy one, get one free" ratio, set this to 1.
Product – The free product added to the order at no charge. The quantity of free items matches the number of qualifying units in the cart.
(Optional) Max Free – The maximum number of free items the promotion can award in a single order. Leave blank to award one free item for every qualifying unit with no cap.
