Who doesn’t like getting more at a less price? That’s what the buy 2 get 1 free offer is. Customers get three products by paying for two.
The default WooCommerce doesn’t allow setting up buy 2 get 1, buy more get more, buy 1 get 1 or BOGO offers.
So this article will show how you can create a WooCommerce buy 2 get 1 offer within minutes that actually converts using Offermative plugin.
