With the ‘Spend X Get Y’ rule, you can allow users to spend a certain amount in order to receive items free (or discounted). So with this rule you can create offers like ‘Spend $100 to get a free hoodie’.
Configuring the rule
To create a ‘Spend X Get Y’ pricing rule, go to WooCommerce > Fees and Discounts and click ‘Add New’.
Rules Settings
In ‘Rule Settings’ select ‘Spend X Get Y’.

Schedule
You can set a status for the rule – either Active, Paused or Scheduled
- Active – to activate the rule on the front end
- Paused – to stop the rule on the front end (but keep your settings, ready to be re-activated at a later date)
- Scheduled – to start and stop the rule at times you specify.
Times and dates
If you have selected ‘Scheduled’ as the status, you’ll see start and end dates and times. Just enter the time and date that you would like the discount rule to go live on your site. You can enter an end date and time as well – or leave these blank for the rule to run indefinitely.

Use this setting to determine which products the offer will apply to. Choose from:
- All items – all items in the store will be eligible for the offer, so the user can spend an amount on any product in the store
- Specific categories – this will open a new field where you can select which categories are eligible for the offer. The user will need to spend the amount on products from specific categories to qualify for the discount
- Specific products – this will open a new field where you can select which products are eligible for the offer. The user will need to spend the amount on specific products to qualify for the discount

Fixed adjustments per product
If you are using either ‘Fixed fee’ or ‘Fixed discount’ then the amount will be adjusted based on the total, not per item.
