Magento: Buy 3 pay for 2 does not work for me

Question

I like to set a "Buy 3 pay for 2" item rule. I have created a "Cart Price Rules" but it does not seem to apply.

If I add 3 of the same items or 3 different items it still results in the original price.

What am I doing wrong? the changes does not show at all.

Answer 1

Turns out that this function does not exist as standard in Magento. Instead I bought a plugin for it.

the built in support requires that all the products are the same.

Answer 2

try to put 1 in Discount amount, as this is the quantity the customer will receive for free. Plus, clear cache and perform re-index after the rule is created.
