How to set a Quantity Promotion (BOGO or Buy X get Y)

Pinogy offers the ability to create Quantity promotions. This type of promotion allows buying certain items in various quantities and getting additional items or different products for free or at a different set percentage off.

This type of promotion allows several variants.

Buy one, get one. This can be the exact same item or a mix of items that are set to be purchased and rewarded.

Buy 3 of x, get 2 of x free. This can be the exact same item or a mix of items that are set to be purchased and rewarded.

Buy 1 bag of x, get treat y free or at a percentage off. The purchase items and reward items can be completely different to allow for these types of promotions.

 

To create a Quantity Promotion, you will need to do the following:

  1. Open the Products module.

  2. Click the Promos button.

  3. Click the +New button.

Set the primary settings of the promotion.

  1. Type a name for the promotion.

  2. Set how many of the reward items would be given. Default is 1 but can be 2 or more depending on the promotion. Ex: Buy 3 get 2 free.

  3. Set what percentage off the rewards would be given. 100% would give the reward items for free.

  4. Set how many of the included products will be required to be purchased. You can also set whether the items have to be the same or if the included products can be different. This only matters if more than one of the included products is required.

  5. Set the Limit By drop-down. The default setting is Selected Products.

The other qualifiers can be set, but the above are minimum for the promotion to work. Be careful to make sure that the Limit By is also set properly, or items you did not intend to be part of the sale might default into being part of it. Selected Products is the safest to use.

The Qualifiers Per Invoice section on the left will be consistent across all the different promotion types.

  1. In the Qualifiers Per Invoice section, there are several options that can be set for how the promotion is applied. The Limit By drop-down menu is used to set the products that qualify for the promotion. If you uncheck the Limit By then all products in your inventory will qualify for the promotion. What you select will also change the title of the next tab in the list.
