This tutorial describes the steps to make the most expensive product in the customer's basket free — but only when they purchase two or more products.

Overview
  • When a customer adds two or more products to their basket, a discount equal to the highest priced product in the basket is applied to the order's total.
  • If the customer reduces the number of products in their basket to one, then the discount is also automatically removed.
To replicate this type of functionality in your store, use the Event Engine Editor to create an event with the following Triggers and Results:



General Information
In the General Information section, set the desired Event Name, Start Date, End Date, and any other desired settings for the event.


Triggers
The event's trigger(s) should be set up as follows.

trigger 1 of 1
Type: basket
Details: The basket total product quantity is greater than 2
 
When the trigger is set to the values listed above, the event will be enacted when two or products (even two units of a single product) are present in the customer's basket.


Results
The event's result(s) should be set up as follows.

result 1 of 1
Type: order pricing
Details: The  order grand total is decreased the amount of 1 most expensive products in the basket

When the event is triggered, it will result in a discount being applied to the order that is equal to value of the most expensive product in the basket.
