In this guide, we will explore a simple PHP snippet that helps you implement BOGO tactics to encourage bulk purchases and increase the average order value. This guide will assist you in offering a free product C when purchasing a combination of products A and B with a total minimum quantity of 5.
Solution: WooCommerce Discounts Based on Product Quantity
Let’s consider an example scenario where the store sells the latest smart home devices. If a customer purchases smart light bulbs (Product A) and smart plugs (Product B) from an electronics retailer. The promotion indicates that if you acquire a minimum of 5 items, combining both the smart bulbs and plugs as needed, you’ll receive a voice-controlled virtual assistant device (Product C) at no cost.
add_action('template_redirect', 'ts_add_gift_id_in_cart'); function ts_add_gift_id_in_cart() { if (is_admin()) return; if (WC()->cart->is_empty()) return; $product_a_id = 100; $product_b_id = 911; $product_gifted_id = 470; $min_combined_qty_required = 5; // Get quantities of Product A and Product B in cart $qty_product_a = WC()->cart->get_cart_item_quantities()[$product_a_id]; $qty_product_b = WC()->cart->get_cart_item_quantities()[$product_b_id]; // Calculate the combined quantity $combined_qty = $qty_product_a + $qty_product_b; // Check if the combined quantity meets the minimum requirement if ($combined_qty >= $min_combined_qty_required) { // Check if the free product is not already in the cart $product_gifted_cart_id = WC()->cart->generate_cart_id($product_gifted_id); $product_gifted_in_cart = WC()->cart->find_product_in_cart($product_gifted_cart_id); // If the free product is not in the cart, add it if (!$product_gifted_in_cart) { WC()->cart->add_to_cart($product_gifted_id); } } else { // If the minimum combined quantity requirement is not met, remove the free product if present $product_gifted_in_cart = WC()->cart->find_product_in_cart($product_gifted_id); if ($product_gifted_in_cart) { WC()->cart->remove_cart_item($product_gifted_in_cart); } } }

Output
Scenario | Discounted/Free Product | Example |
Buy Product A and Product B with Total Minimum Quantity | Product C | Buy 5 units of smart light bulbs (Product A) and smart plugs (Product B) to get a free voice-controlled virtual assistant (Product C). |
When a customer buys smart home devices in bulk quantities and if the quantity of those specified products meet the threshold of the minimum combined quantity (A+B), the code automatically adds the complimentary product ‘smart speaker ‘ to the cart.
Until the combined quantity threshold of product A and Product B is not met, the free Product C will not be added to the cart as shown below.
