Any recommendations for a BOGO 50% app?

Topic summary

Request: A Shopify-compatible way to run a custom BOGO (Buy One Get One) 50% offer across a collection, where every other item (sorted by price descending) is half off, unlimited quantities, and easy to apply via a discount code at POS (Point of Sale) and online. Example: with 4 items, $50 full, $40 half, $25 full, $10 half.

Key considerations and suggestions:

  • Some functionality may require Shopify POS Pro or Shopify Plus.
  • The logic may be closer to a weighted/tiered discount distributed across line items than a simple BOGO.
  • Possible solutions:
    • Explore a flexible discount app with condition builders (e.g., Regios).
    • Consider bundling systems instead of pure discounts.
    • Build a custom app for complex, compounding rules.
    • Use custom draft orders (e.g., via Mechanic) for online; POS needs a different approach.
  • If budget is limited, consider simplifying with prebuilt products or pack/kit variants that match the final price.

Outcome: No confirmed app or final solution yet. Next steps involve evaluating POS plan capabilities and testing flexible discount/bundling apps or pursuing custom development.

Our store just transitioned from our previous POS to Shopify. I’m looking for a recommendation for a Shopify app that can allow for a customized Buy One Get One 50% off discount for a collection of items.

Sale specifications:

  • The sale applies to every other item, in descending price order. For example: if someone is buying 4 items, the $50 item would be full price, the $40 item would be half price, $25 item is full price, $10 item is half price.
  • The sale is unlimited. Someone can buy 2 items or 20, the sale would apply for all the items in that collection.
  • I would like the sale to be easy to apply for my in-store staff – applying the sale as a discount code would be ideal.

This is a sale that our store has run every year for decades. With our previous POS, we had to apply this sale manually, as that POS didn’t really support BOGO-type discounts – if there are any apps out there that would cater to this type of discount, please let me know!

Thank you!

Some advanced capabilities are only available to Shopify POS Pro subscriptions, or Plus plans.

Hi @phoenixdragon I’m @PaulNewton I develop customizations, automations, or customs apps for unique business cases.

Isn’t that just normal BOGOS as separate sets of discounts with separate conditions?

Or NOT actually a BOGO 50%, but some sort of distributed/graduated tiered discount weighted* per line item starting with the first?!
*weight in the MATH sense NOT the physical shipping sense.
You’d have to dig around for an off the shelf app that’ that flexible.

:clipboard: The Regios app’s condition builder might fit I’ve linked a sample conversation below
If not a bundling system instead of purely discounting.

That type of compounding requirements moves quickly into needing to build a custom app.
Or using custom-draft orders, e.g. https://tasks.mechanic.dev/create-a-draft-order-from-the-cart (:warning: for the online sales channel, POS would be different)

Otherwise if not of this is affordable then consider a simpler scheme to avoid unicorn requirements.
Such as prebuilt products that match the final price, or even variants that act as a pack or kit.
