Magento 1.9 – Add Free Promotional Gift for Purchases Over $200 and $380

free-giftmagento-1.9promotionsshopping-cart-price-rules

I want to run the Christmas promo on site. I have to promote the gifts after purchase of 200$ and $380 respectively.

If someone buy a products more than $200, I want to give a free gift product Sports Band.
If someone buy a products more than $380, I want to give a free gift product Sports Belt.

If they purchased the products from "Sports" category.

In other words:

Sport Category Products Total more than $200

=> Free Sport Band
Sport Category Products Total more than $380

=> Free Sport Belt

Best Answer

There is a lightweight free extension for exactly this scenario: C4B_FreeProduct

It adds a new shopping cart price rules action "free product" where you can enter qty and sku.

These products are added to the cart as non editable items with price 0 during sales rule validation.

Configuration

You would create two shopping cart price rules with conditions like this:

And then configure the "Add a gift" action.

How it works

A new rule type is added to the sales rule form, in an observer on adminhtml_block_salesrule_actions_prepareform
An observer on salesrule_validator_process processes the new rule type. It adds the configured SKU to the cart and sets a custom price of 0 and a custom option that identifies the product as free gift.
Another observer on sales_quote_collect_totals_before removes existing gift items from the cart (that's what the custom option from before is for), before the rules are processed.
The cart item template is adjusted to remove qty input and "remove" link from gift items (they would not work anyways).

Disclaimer: I was involved in the development of this extension.

Magento – Offering a free gift with purchase of a particular product type

As you've mentioned there are 10+ extensions that do this. No extension is going to fulfill your every business rule out of the box - make it yourself!

Create one 'free' product
Set their visibility to be 'Not Visibile Individually'
Set the 100+ custom options on the product
Create a System > Configuration input field and tab set to manage the ID of the free product (alternatively create a product attribute or attribute set that identifies the product as a free product type). I will use the former as a suggested approach.

Then, create a new block and template to display the custom options from this product:

<?php

class YourCompany_YourModule_Block_Freeproduct extends Mage_Core_Block_Abstract
{

    protected $_freeProduct;

    public function getFreeProduct()
    {
        if(!isset($this->_freeProduct)){
            $id = Mage::getStoreConfig('system/freeproduct/free_product_id');
            $this->_freeProduct = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($id);
        }

        return $this->_freeProduct;
    }

    public function getFreeProductOptions()
    {
        if($product = $this->getFreeProduct()){
            if(!$product->hasOptions()){
                return;
            }

            return $product->getOptions();
        }
    }

}

And make use of getFreeProductOptions in your template/phtml file:

<?php if($options = $this->getFreeProductOptions()): ?>

    <select name="free_product">
        <?php foreach($options as $option): ?>
            <option value="<?php echo $option->getId();?>"><?php echo $option->getTitle(); ?></option>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
    </select>

<?php endif; ?>

You will want to call this block that renders the template from inside a getChildHtml and locate that inside of the <form> element on your theme's catalog/product/view.phtml file. This way, the free_product value comes along for the ride with an add to cart button click.

All you have to do then is create an observer of the cart add postdispatch event and examine the request object. From there you'll have the chosen option id to add to the cart. Voila!

Best of luck!

Magento – Promo Shopping Cart Price Rule Buy 3 Get 1 Free

Buy X get Y free using the promo rules never produces the results you want which is why I wrote a module for it a few years ago. Have a look at my Buy X Get Y Free module, it has a Category X get Y free feature which will do exactly what you want - Buy 3 items from category 8 - add a free item to the cart.

You can see it working here - buy two or more sauces and you get free spaghetti!
