How to set a rule for buying two products together to reduce the total price?

Question

I am trying to make a block which shows two products in it with a rule that if a customer bought these two products together the total amount will be reduce by some extent.

e.g. if product A is of $100 and B is of $75, then both will be buy together for $150.

Can anyone has an idea how to apply these kind of promotion rules in magento. I really need to do this as the client need this kind of functionality on its product view page.

I want something like this.

Answer 1

To add multiple products to the cart from the same request you need to use the related_product url parameter. Simply add the extra products to the end of your add to cart url separated by a coman

/product/159/related_product/162,161,160

If you are calling the getUrl function to build your url you can do this as follows:

Mage::app()->getStore()->getUrl('checkout/cart/add/', array('product'=> 12, 'related_product' => implode(',', array(123,456))));

This cannot be done by configurable products. You will need to find another alternate on this. Because when we add any configurable product the associated products are in "Not visible Individually" Mode.

You can use the following url as an answer, it can be an alternate to your situation.

Answer 3

You can view following url::

Create a Shopping Cart Rule - To offer 5% discount for two products or more

If it is for products from specific category, the this can be used.
