How Do I Add a Free Item to Purchase in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 5:01 pm

If you’re running a WooCommerce store, you might want to give away a free item to customers who purchase a certain product. For example, you could offer a free t-shirt to customers who purchase a certain amount of items from your store.

In this article, we’ll show you how to add a free item to purchase in WooCommerce.

First, you need to log into your WooCommerce account and go to the “Products” page. Next, find the product that you want to offer as a freebie. Once you’ve found the product, click on the “Edit” link.

On the Edit page, scroll down to the “Product Data” section and click on the “Inventory” tab. In the “Stock Status” drop-down menu, select “Instock”.

Next, scroll down to the “Shipping” tab and select “Free Shipping” from the drop-down menu. Save your changes.

PRO TIP: If you are adding a free item to a purchase in WooCommerce, be sure to first check the price of the item. If the price is not zero, then the item will not be added to the purchase as a free item.

Now that you’ve configured your product, you need to configure your coupons. Go to the “Coupons” page and click on the “Add Coupon” button.

In the “Coupon Data” section, enter a coupon code (this is what customers will use to get their free item). Then, set the discount type to “Fixed Cart Discount”.

In the “Apply Coupon” field, enter the product ID of the item that you want to offer as a freebie. You can find this ID by going to the “Products” page and hovering over the product in question. The ID will be displayed in the URL of your browser.

Save your changes and test out your coupon code!
