Buy this, get that other thing free

I've checked but do not see an add on for something like, buy this one product, and I'll give you this other product for free.

Is there anything like this? I've seen the wiki tutorial on BOGOF but I'm afraid to do this, as everytime I try and do coding, I mess something else up. lol.

Is there any easy way to accomplish this? Thanks.

The easiest way I can see to do this is to add a checkbox to the item they have to pay for, something like "Check this box to get the AC charger FREE" or whatever it is. In the description, I'd include a link to the product they will get free. In the description of the product they will get free, I'd put a comment like "get this FREE when you buy the flashlight it charges!" and a link to the product you charge for. Not particularly elegant, but it will work, everyone is happy to check a box to get something free (plus it's a reminder to you to include the free item when you print the invoice or packing list), and no one has to remember a coupon code.

If you really want to go the coupon route, you could set up a coupon for the amount of the free product, but I'm not sure you can require purchase of 2 products for the coupon to be valid (and I'm too foggyheaded right now to go check it out).

Better Together in the downloads section does buy x get y for free.

It never ceases to amaze me how simple things can go so wrong for me.

I installed the Better together thing to my root directory just like the read me said. Now I'm supposed to be able to open my admin/modules/order total and find the Better Together thing in there.

Not in there. Any suggestions? :cry:

Suggest you hire someone to install it for you. I have no idea what's wrong.

Thanks. Before I do that, let me just make sure...When they say install it to your root directory...they mean MYSITE/bettertogether

right? So in my root directory, there'll be
admin
cash
cgi-bin
download
etc etc

my bettertogether is in that list above. Right? If not, that's my problem I guess.

Thanks. Appreciate you being up so early. :smile:
