Pricing Rule: Buy 3 Concerts, Get 4th Free

I am fairly new to using pricing rules and am attempting to create a pricing rule for buy at ticket for 3 unique performances, get the 4th free.  

What would be the method for creating this?  

I thought BOGO, but that seems to only apply the rule if it is the same concert.

Thanks,

  • Hi Joe,

    Have you tried the Add On type rule? Under Criteria, it allows you to specify which products (performances) should have the discount applied to.

    We haven't used this particular type much, but according to the documentation this one might be the one you're looking for.

    Good luck!

  • I attempted the add on rule, but it does not use number of products for any criteria/limitations.  So it allows for a buy 1 product, get any additional free...but not a buy 3 products get 1 free it seems.

    And I attempted the product volume rule as well, thinking it sounded promising, but it does not allow you to specify applying the rule to only one product, it applies it to all the products when it fires.

    It'd be nice if I could trigger the BOGO rule after a certain number of products are selected (select X products and then the BOGO fires), but I can't find a way to make that work.

    Hi Joe, I am afraid that you will have to write at least one rule for every unique combination of three performances out of however many performances you have with Add On type rule. If you have a total of four performances, then you will need four rules. If you have five performances, then you will need ten rules, and the number will increases exponentially with the number of performances. You will need to check All Products box for Criteria. I have not tried this logic, so you will have to test to see if it will get you where you want to go. It may get infeasible, if you have too many performances. Good Luck!
