• All Business Manager users with access to Merchant Tools → Online Marketing
• Store admins (e-commerce managers of each subsidiary)

These promotions discount only some of the units in the cart once a quantity is reached.

Examples:

• Second product at -30%
• Buy 1, get 1 free
• Buy 2, get 1 free

They are configured as a Product promotion of type Buy X / Get Y. In Business Manager they appear as, for example: “Free on 1 discounted products if qualifying product quantity >= 1”.

Buy X / Get Y vs With Number of Qualifying Products

• Buy X / Get Y discounts a defined number of units (e.g. 1 unit at -30%).
• With Number of Qualifying Products discounts the discounted products once the quantity is reached. Use it for “30% on the range from 2 products bought”, not for “second product at -30%”.

• When qualifying and discounted products are the same, the discount is applied to the items of lesser value.
• Without Maximum Applications, the offer repeats: with 4 units, “buy 1 get 1 free” can apply twice.
• Qualifying and discounted products must be defined consistently, otherwise the offer does not trigger.
• Always test with 1, 2 and more units.
