About this plugin
VSW Bogo Offer On Category lets you run powerful Buy X Get Y Free promotions on your WooCommerce store, configured per product category. No coupon codes, no complex setup — just pick a category, choose a deal type, and the plugin does the rest automatically.
How It Works
- Go to the top-level BOGO Offers menu in your WordPress admin sidebar.
- Click + Add Rule, select a product category (e.g. ProductCat, ProductCat1 ).
- Choose a deal type — Buy 1 Get 1 Free, Buy 1 Get 2 Free, Buy 2 Get 2 Free, and many more.
- Save. The offer is live immediately — no page reload needed.
When a customer adds qualifying products from that category to their cart, the plugin automatically identifies the cheapest items and sets their price to ₹0. The cart, mini-cart sidebar, and checkout all reflect the correct discounted total instantly.
