# it doesnt work right…

 * I’m following examples here: [http://www.varktech.com/documentation/pricing-deals/examples/](http://www.varktech.com/documentation/pricing-deals/examples/)
 * When I do
    Buy Each Unit Apply Rule one per cart Get Discount Next One
 * It works. But it just randomly? picks instead of cheaper one. I’m assuming lesser
   expensive discount is pro version?
 * BUT!!!
 * 1. When I change rule to unlimited rule usage per cart, so u can buy multiple
   things at once, it applies discount to ALL units not every two units.
 * 2. I tried…
    Buy unit quantity 1 Get next unit quantity 1 or Next $$ value 1 
   but either of that works.
 * 3. Also same as above Buy unit 2 get next unit 1
    does not work at all.
 * Please let me know if there’s a bug? or if i’m not setting it right?
 * I’m trying to do
    Buy 1 Get 2nd item 50% off Buy 2 get 3rd item 50% off
 * Thank you.

 * Hi,
    Thanks for your query. While there’s a lot of info provided, I’m not really
   sure where you’re trying to go.
 * You mentioned a ‘cheapest’ deal – it’s important to understand the difference
   between ‘cheapest in the group’ and ‘cheapest in the cart’ which are entirely
   different things.
 * You mention two different deals you want to create:
 * Buy 1 Get 2nd item 50% off
    Buy 2 get 3rd item 50% off
 * 1. is ‘cheapest’ involved in these rules?
    2. creating these two rules will create
   an overlapping discount – if you buy 3 items, the 2nd item will get a discount(
   rule 1), as will the 3rd (rule 2) – is this what you had in mind?
 * Best,
    Vark

 * Thx for super quick response!
 * Let me rephrase and let’s simplify.
    I’m trying to create ANY product (dont’ 
   care about groups or category for now)
 * buy 1 get 2nd item 50% off.
    item 1: $10 item 2: $15
 * I want discount provided to $10 by default. That’s what I mean by cheapest one.
 * But also in same rule if there’s 3 items (but will only qualify for 1 discount
   
   item 1: $10 item 2: $15 item 3: $5
 * I still want discount to be applied to $10 item.
 * Does that make sense?
 * To clarify, i’m trying to prevent someone buying $5 item then adding $50 item
   to get $25 discount.

 * Hi,
    Sorry, i must be thick today, but I’m not getting any of this.
 * Please summarize the discounts you want to create in this fashion:
 * “Buy X get Y at a discount”
 * Try to think of this as a general rule, rather than ‘in this situation do this,
   in that situation do that’
 * All these qualifications are not really coming together for me…

 * sure.
 * ‘Buy 1 get 1 at a 50% off discount’
 * Simple. The only thing I want to avoid is the more expensive one in the cart 
   being on 50% off discount.

 * So is what you want:
 * “Buy 2 get cheaper of the two 50% off”
 * or
 * “Buy 2 or more get cheapest in the cart 50% off”
 * ??

 * Yes
 * and
 * ‘Buy 1 get 2nd highest item 50% off’ <- given there’s 3 items in there. BUT to
   be honest, this is NOT important.
 * If I can make 1st part work, I’d be happy for now and I can try this out… and
   hold all other complains until i get pro… lol

 * Here’s the writeup on that:
 * As in intro, it’s important to think about Cheapest deals in the correct way…
 * If you want a deal where you buy 1, get a 2nd item but the discount is on the
   cheaper of the two,
    the rule should be: ‘buy 2 get the cheapest at a discount’.
 *  —————————-
    – Cheapest in the group – —————————-
 * [http://www.varktech.com/documentation/pricing-deals/examples/#cheapest](http://www.varktech.com/documentation/pricing-deals/examples/#cheapest)
   
   Buy any 2 Laptops, get the less expensive 20% off
 * Cheapest in the group deals are very literal. In this example the counts the 
   first
    two items it finds, and discounts the cheaper of the two. If the rule 
   repeats, it goes on to the next two.
 * – select
    Deal Type : Discount Cheapest / Most Expensive – hit the ‘publish’ /‘
   update button – ignore the error messages – then when you get there, Discount
   Applies To : Cheapest Product will be available
 * for a group, change the following:
    Show Me : Advanced Buy Group Amount Applies
   To : All Products Buy Group Amount Type : Buy Unit Quantity Buy Group Amount 
   Count : XXX desired amount filter details and whatever discounting you desire.
 * Cheapest in the group deals are very literal. In this example the counts the 
   first
    two items it finds, and discounts the cheaper of the two. If the rule 
   repeats, it goes on to the next two.

 * Advanced button makes whole lot of sense!!! 🙂
 * But still havign an issue. so I put 1 as XX and 1 as YY
    But it says I need to
   put more than 1.
 * I tried putting 2 and 2 (XX and YY) but that didint’ make discount on cart of
   4 either. what am i doing wrong?

 * Please go and compare the rule example mentioned above:
    [http://www.varktech.com/documentation/pricing-deals/examples/#cheapest](http://www.varktech.com/documentation/pricing-deals/examples/#cheapest)
   with the rule you’ve created.
 * You need to change a large number of things:
    Deal Action : Buy something, discount
   the item Buy Group Amount Count : 2 Buy Group Amount Applies To : All Products
   Get Group Amount Type : Discount Each Unit

 * YAY!!! it’s working!!!
 * Thanks! damn. that was a lot more confusing than I expected. however, I can see
   from complexity, it’s designed to be able to offer pretty much any kinds of deals.
 * Now, is this always automatically on sale? or is it possible to tie such deals
   with a coupon code?

 * Bug report!
 * I noticed that this plugin somehow hides price on ‘Variable product’.
    I didn’t
   look into it deep but I added this and another plugin to test recently so that
   was my first try. When I disabled this plugin, price came back….

    Woocommerce Enfold theme

 * Hi,
    Suggest you check for a module conflict.
 * To track down a module conflict, you can:
    (1) Install and activate a maintenance
   mode plugin (if desired) (2) deactivate ***all*** plugins except Woo, Pricing
   Deals (and maintenance mode plugin) (3) ** switch to a clean default theme like
   2014 ** (4) test. if good, add 1 module back in. Retest. (5) rinse and repeat
   until conflict identified.
 * Best,
    Vark
