Wix Stores: Creating a 'Buy X, Get Y Free' Coupon
Encourage your customers to buy extra items with a "Buy X, get Y free" coupon (e.g. buy 2 posters, get 1 free). The least expensive item is the free one.
Tip:
You can also use automatic discounts to create additional types of buy X, get Y discounts. Using this option, customers won't need to enter a coupon code. Additionally, the "Y" can be a reduced price, not only a free item (buy 2 hats, get 1 at 50% off).
