How to Use Buy X Steps

For advanced cases where you want to create a discount that can apply an infinite number of times, use a "Buy X" step.

Use Cases

Here's what this feature allows you to do:

Allow you to define which products are considered a "set," for example, "1 Shirt and 1 Pants in a bundle."
Count the number of sets in the cart
If the discount has "apply once per order" checked, we multiply the value by the number of sets
Otherwise, we'll multiply the "Quantity" field by the number of sets.
One exception: The "maximum discount amount" of percentage discounts will never be multiplied. This is for the sake of preventing confusion.

Count by: Either "Quantity" or "Price," at the top of the step. The "Price" is based on the "price" (not the "compare at price") before any product discounts apply.
Requirements: Each row is one requirement: a quantity (or amount, when counting by price), then which products are eligible. Pick products or collections with Browse. They show as chips, and you can remove one with its ×. Click + Add requirement to add another row. Customers must meet every requirement, which is why the rows are separated by AND.
Limit uses per order: If you don't want an "infinite" discount, check this and enter the number of sets we'll discount for a single order.
