How to Setup a Buy X, Get Y Automatic Discount Code || Shopify Help Center

when creating a 'buy 5 products, get $5 dollars off' discount, it says 'amount off each', does that mean i would give them $5 dollars off TOTAL, or $5 dollars off every item they buy?

At first I was excited about the Buy x get y promo, until I realized the "get y" portion is not automatically added to the order/cart. I want to reward customers spending more than $100 with a free gift and have it automatically included. This is a HUGE bummer. Making the customer 1) find the specific product that is offered for free and 2) add it to the cart themselves is unnecessarily complicated and, ultimately disappointing to the customer. Additionally, it hardly qualifies as a "Automatic Discount" if other actions are required to fulfill the discount. Am I missing something or is this a decision on your part?

Can you have the automatic discount show on the product page? At the moment we can only get it to show when the customer is checking out but we want to promote the offer in the lead up to Christmas.

Why did the video not cover setting up the Y. The Y is the most important part. I assume that's set up in the "Customer Gets" section, but then I'm so confused by the line: "Customers must add the quantity of items specified below to their chart"

What does it mean by "Buy X, Get Y" I thought it meant they purchase a product and they get a free product automatically.

I was happy to see this feature and planned a campaign around it, but I can't get it working and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it just doesn't do what I thought it would. Apps that handle this are quite expensive so I'm hoping to not have to resort to using one.

? False! Not add product of discount

Is there a way to have the BOGO on the product page?

I set one up, where if they buy X they you get a free hoodie but when I was going through checkout, it did not give me a choice of size of the hoodie or it did not even show up in the checkout, then when I added the hoodie it was full price. What is up with that?

thanks
