Free Gifts & BOGO

Give a real product for free when a customer buys enough: a gift you pick, a gift they pick, buy-two-get-one, or better gifts for bigger orders.

What it does

A promotion is one rule: when a customer buys this, they get that. The gift is a real product from your catalog, added to the cart as its own line with price 0. A copy of the same product that the customer pays for keeps its normal price.

You decide Choices
What they must buy an amount spent, a number of items, or both; all products or only some
What they get one product you chose, a product they choose from a selection, or another copy of what they bought
How good the gift may be how many gifts, and a maximum value for each
When and for whom start and end, guests or account holders, how often in total

WooCommerce stays in charge of prices, stock, checkout and orders. A gift takes stock like any sold product.
