What is a BOGO discount?
BOGO means buy one, get one: the customer buys a set number of items and gets more free or at a discount. Buy X Get Y is the general form, like buy 2 get 1 free or buy 3 get 1 at 50% off. It moves more units per order and gives customers an easy reason to add one more.

What to know about BOGO on Shopify
No Shopify discount can add a product to the cart, so the customer adds the free item and its price drops at checkout. That means the offer has to be visible on the product page and in the cart. It's also worth knowing which item comes free: Nex always discounts the cheapest qualifying items, so the priciest one is never the freebie.

What does BOGO mean on Shopify?
Buy one, get one. The customer buys a set number of items and gets another free or discounted, like buy 1 get 1 free or buy 2 get 1 at 50% off. -
Is the free item added to the cart automatically?
No. Shopify discounts can't add products to a cart, so the customer adds the free item and the discount makes it free at checkout. Tell shoppers about the offer on the product page and in the cart. -
Which item is free when customers buy different products?
The cheapest qualifying items. If someone buys sweatshirts at $52, $48 and $44 on a buy 2 get 1 free offer, the $44 one is free. -
Can the free item be a different product?
Yes. The item customers get can come from the same products they buy or from a different set you choose, like buy two shirts and get a cap free. -
Does the offer repeat on bigger carts?
Yes. With buy 2 get 1 free, six qualifying items earn two free items. -
