In this rule, you can even set the number of units instead of quantity.
In this rule, the plugin will check the minimum quantity you have entered to be purchased by the customers. According to the above screenshot, when a customer purchases a minimum of 3 products from the Clothing category, they will be eligible to get 1 Woo Logo Poster and 1 Woo Album for free.
Similarly, you can apply the same discount based on product tags. When a specific number of products purchased by the customers come under a specific product tag, a certain quantity of products can be set for free. This can be done using the BOGO Tag Rules.
According to the above rule, if a customer purchases a minimum of 2 products that have a ‘nike’ tag, they will get 1 CAP for free.
