Note: This guide applies only to users with Smart Coupon for WooCommerce plugin version 3.0.0 or higher. If you are using an older version of the plugin, please refer to the previous documentation here.
The built-in WooCommerce coupon system offers many discounts, but they are limited in functionalities and diversity, and you might need more advanced features to attract customers and increase sales. That’s where the Smart Coupons for WooCommerce plugin can help. This plugin can configure a wide range of BOGO offers such as – Spend a Amount X and Get a Product for Free or at a Discount.
This article will discuss creating a Spend an amount X, and get a product at the discount offer.

Hello there. Is it possible to choose which product will be gifted?
My customer wants after a cart amount, let’s say 50$, the visitor to be able to choose a product as a gift.
This product should be of specific category.

Hi George,
We understand your requirement. However, you need to predefine the giveaway product to achieve that.
