 * Failure promoting second unit to 50 % discount: whith four units of two different
   prices, it makes discount cheap product and expensive product , instead of the
   two cheap products.

 * Hi,
    It sounds like you’ve set up a ‘cheapest in the group’ rule, when you want‘
   cheapest in the cart’. ‘cheapest in the cart’ is available in the Pro version.
   Here’s the writeup:
 * 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 Rule 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.
 *  —————————-
    – Cheapest in the cart —————————-
 * For ‘cheapest in the cart’, you’ll need to use a wordpress filter.
    A filter 
   example is include in the pro plugin downloaded ZIP file. Please take a look 
   at pro plugin/cheapest in cart filter.txt and follow those directions…
 * NB: Cheapest in the cart deals cannot repeat – you set the rule to occur once
   per cart
 * Best,
    Vark
