Upsell integrates with Bold Discounts to give you the ability to create Buy One, Get One (BOGO) offers on your site.
Discounts' Duplicate & Hide feature creates duplicate, discounted versions of your store's products that are hidden from the storefront. These hidden products can be offered through Upsell when certain conditions are met. This ensures that the items cannot be purchased on their own, and that the customer must qualify for the discounted item(s) first.
Upsell allows you to set conditions for when this product is offered. You can have the hidden discounted item(s) display when a specific product is added to the cart, when the customer is checking out with certain items, or when the customer's cart is within a defined price range.
For more information on a BOGO offer using Discounts and Upsell, please see the videos below or follow along with the step-by-step setup guide.
Note: This offer type can only be created using Bold Discounts. Discounts Powered by Bold Price Rules does not create duplicate products. If you are using Discounts powered by Bold Price Rules, you can create these BOGOs using Bold Bundles.

Note: If a collection of products is selected as the trigger, a collection of under 5000 products must be selected. If a collection of over 5000 products is selected, an error is generated within Bold Upsell after selecting Save Offer.
