Hi @Dashergrooming,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community! I'm happy to provide some assistance with Buy X, Get Y discounts, to ensure this gets resolved. To share some insight, both discount codes and automatic discounts that provide a "get" item to customers come with a few limitations. 

Currently, the feature of having products automatically added to the cart is considered to be one of those limitations. Buy X, Get Y discounts will require all items to be manually added to the cart in order to apply at checkout. As I can completely understand how this may not be ideal, I'm more than happy to share this note with our Developers. We are always looking for ways to improve the platform and appreciate the feedback. 

To workaround this however, you can check out the Shopify App Store for an available discount app that may allow you to achieve this. For ease, I've gone ahead and suggested a few available apps that may allow for this to be completed: 

• EasyGift: Auto Add to Cart
• CartBot: Auto add to cart
• Automatic Free Gifts

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

That's a major limitation of Shopify's BOGO feature and Shopify more than anyone should know this: having to make a customer manually add in the +1 offering impacts the value of said promotion by dint of effort or confusion on what to do. It's something that should be fixed, not simply buck-passed onto a paid app.

I was trying to figure out how to code this myself but still learning the code base I am working with. The logic sounds very easy to write. In the meantime I did find a 100% free app that is seamless and incredibly fast. I actually wish they had some way for me to donate because they saved me so much time. To find them you will just need to search GA Free Gift BOGO. They are basically the only one that is listed just Free. I still will dive in and figure out how to do this on my own but in the meantime this is a great substitute.

Hi Blair, 

Has this gone anywhere?  Like James said below, this is a major limitation and in my opinion, should be out-of-the-box functionality.  It creates more consumer issues requiring them to manually add the product and the requirement for the store to add yet another app to solve this issue is ridiculous.  We can only do so much to relay the message to consumers to manually add the product to their cart- we've added messaging across the site, merchandised our collections to easily find the product, added the instructions to the promo details, but we still have consumers not following instructions which will lead to unhappy customers.

My issue with the solution of adding yet another app - the more apps we add to our site, the more issues we end up creating, as these third-party apps don't always sync with each other properly.  We also have to go through a lengthy process with our Legal Team to review each and every app we add to our site to ensure our data and our site users are protected. 

My company has the Shopify Plus package and I would expect better results and functionality from the platform.  In my two years using Shopify, I have not been happy with its capabilities and will likely be suggesting to replatform. It has caused more headaches than it's worth.

Hi there. I'm a Shopify merchant for 7 years now. And we use the buy X get Y since then as our main promo.. From 2022 shopify release video on youtube, the Shopify team themselves mentioned "add code would add product to cart at checkout", and it would be release to NON plus merchants by end of 2022. It's 2 years later.. We pay a decent amount monthly for 7 years to Shopify.. Is it going to be released soon?

Hey, @Anthony_ROSEMON! At this time, we do not have updates to share regarding any plans of implementing this feature. However, our developers are aware that this is highly anticipated, so please rest assured this is being put into consideration. As always, we'll publish any changes to our platform on our changelog so keep an eye on that page!
