Get three for the price of two

Three for the price of two, or how to offer a gift?

In a growing market, retailers are looking for every possible way to attract new customers and retain existing ones. We continue our customer loyalty series with a new offering: a buy-three-pay-for-two pricing rule. Naturally, I-Cash users can apply it in many different ways. The procedure is as follows: select an item, its quantity and what should happen once that quantity is exceeded. This article provides an example of exactly how this works in I-Cash.

How to prepare the pricing rule?

Navigate to Goods –> Pricing rules–> Add a new pricing rule.

In the Basic details tab

  • Enter a name for the rule
  • Enter a priority
  • Select modifier type: free goods discount
  • Activate or deactivate the rule

In the Items tab

  • Enter an item
  • Choose the sales quantity that activates the pricing rule
  • Select the gift item
  • Choose the quantity of the free item
  • Optionally select the locations where the pricing rule should be active
  • Save

A sale through the web platform will produce a result like this:

A POS sale will produce the following result:

With these settings, a sale will produce the following result: three units of the product will leave inventory, two at the regular selling price and the third at a zero selling price. Other uses are possible and will emerge in practice. Generic products can be used. A specific discount percentage can be set to achieve a specific price for the gift product. In other words, the gift product does not have to be priced at zero.

Note: The pricing rule also works with recipe items.
