Output

When the customer adds products to the cart, the code loops through the cart items and checks if the items belong to both category X and Y. Only when both categories are present, the code will automatically include the complimentary product from Category Z in the cart.

If either a product from category X or Y is not present, or if such products added to cart from category X or Y are removed, the complimentary free product added to the cart is also removed. This ensures that the free product is offered when the cart contains items from both the categories of X & Y.

In similar to the above customization, you can offer free gifts based on different conditions and will let customers to automatically add a product to your WooCommerce cart based on cart total, categories, website visit, etc.
