Step One: Select the Products for the Discount

1. In your website dashboard go to Products
   
   
2. Go to each product that you would like to be involved in this multi-buy discount and make sure they have the same tag or category applied.
   
   
   
   For example, you can create a new tag like "241" on each product that will have this discount
   
   
   
   
3. Make sure to "Save Changes"
   
   

Step Two: Create the Coupon

1. Next, go to Manage Store and click Promos and Coupons
   
   
   
   
2. Click Create a Coupon
   
   
   
   
3. Enter a descriptive title such as "Buy One Get One Free"
   
   
   
   
4. Choose if you want this coupon to be used multiple times or as a single-use offer
   
   
   
   
5. You will need to select "$ discount" - not "% discount"
   
   
   
   
6. You will need to select "Products must match all category, brand, tag conditions"
   
   
   
   
7. Add the Category/Tag/Brand restriction for your coupon. 
   For this example, I made sure to add the tag "241" created earlier for this discount. 
   
   
   
   
8. Choose if you want this coupon to apply for any other current promotion running. 
   
   
   
   
9. The minimum purchase is important for this discount to work.
   
   With the products involved in the discount, make sure the minimum amount is slightly above one of the product price points.
   
   For example, the two products in this example's discount go for $34.50 each. So, you would make the minimum purchase amount slightly above, such as $34.51. 
   
   
   
10. Set a start and end date for your coupon to run.  
    
    
    
    
    
11. Set the dollar discount amount. 
    
    For this example, both products go for $34.50 and this discount is giving the multiple order a free item so the Discount amount would be $34.50.
    
    
    
    
12. Create a unique coupon code for customers to use within the checkout experience
