It’s extremely easy to set up automatic discounts within the iCheckout in WooCommerce. Let’s show you!
1. Buy X Get Y Discount
Add an automatic Buy X Get Y discount on checkout to increase the sales of a specific product.
How does it work?
Create an automatic discount that will be applied to the order price on checkout, and that could increase the sales of a chosen product in your shop. The discount could be added based on the minimum amount or quantity of a specific product reached in the cart.
Example 1: Add 2 pairs of shoes and one t-shirt to the cart, and get the t-shirt with a 30% discount on checkout.
Example 2: Add 3 pairs of t-shirts and one pair of sunglasses to the cart, and get the wristband for FREE.
Note: Both products need to be already added to the cart to make the discount work. The discounted product won’t appear by itself on the checkout page.
How can I set up this discount?
Structure of the discount setup:
- Discount title field – where you add the actual discount code, which will be visible to the customers
- Active dates field – the start/end date and time when the discount will be available to be used
- Discount type section – select if you want to create a “Buy X get Y”, “Percentage”, “Fixed amount” or a “Free Shipping” discount.
- “Discount applies when” section – choose the quantity/amount the customer needs to add to their cart and select the items
- “Customer will get” section – choose the discounted amount of the product that the customer will take advantage of
- Additional options section – set a maximum discount usage per order to restrict the discount
- Summary section – shows you how your discount will look like and work once created in iCheckout.

Navigate to iCheckout, then follow these steps:
1. Go to “Discounts.”
2. Select “Create new” automatic discount.
3. Add your Discount title. Keep in mind that the customers will see this title at your checkout.
Optional step: Set maximum discount usage. This way, there will be a limited number of people that will be able to use the discount. When the number of users reaches the limit, the discount will disable automatically.
4. Add a starting/ending date and time
5. Choose the “Buy X get Y” discount type
6. Choose the discount application criteria – the customer buys any of the following products (the X product), and you need to set up the minimum amount or quantity of these products reached on checkout. Here you can add only specific products or a whole collection.
- Minimum amount reached in cart – once a certain product amount reaches the cart, the discount will be applied automatically on the second product (the Y product) that is already added and the customer will get the discount on it
- Minimum quantity reached in cart – once a certain product quantity reaches the cart, the discount will be applied automatically on the second product (the Y product) that is already added and the customer will get the discount on it
- Choose the X product that the customer needs to buy – add the specific product or choose a whole collection that will be triggered. You can also edit the available item variants for the discount.
7. Choose what the customer will get – the customer will add any of the chosen items in their cart to take advantage of the discount. The customer will get the items at a discounted value based on the option you choose:
- Free – apply the discount automatically and get the item for free
- Percentage discount – add a percentage value and get the item with an automatic percentage discount (e.g., 20%). Then, choose how many items you want the discount to apply for. (e.g., the customer will get a discount on only 1 item).
Choose the Y product that the customer gets a discount for – add the specific product or choose a whole collection that will be triggered by the discount. You can also edit the available item variants for the discount.
Note: The discount will be applied only to the items you select in this section and only when they are already added to the cart.
Additional options: Set the maximum number of uses per order.
Example: If the customer buys 100 pairs of jeans, you won’t probably want them to get that many T-shirts with discounts. With this option, you can set a usage limit per order of the discount.
