I am trying to add free product for specific category, Customer can add only one free product in the cart for specific category. I tried to add shopping cart price rule as

Condition: If total quantity less than 1 for a subselection of items in cart matching ALL of these conditions: Category is 5

Action: If ALL of these conditions are TRUE : Category is 5

But it doesn't work.

And I tried another way by custom coding: get total items by category, if it is greater than count of 1, show haserror message in cart page. This also not working, I don't know exactly where to put this calculation.

Any idea? Help me.

  • @AvijitGupta: I write a custom code to find out total products in the specific category; Mage/CatalogInventory/Model/Stock/Item.php Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($this->getProduct()->getCategoryIds('5'))->getName(); like this, I got the category name by loop, – Lavanya Jan 8 '16 at 7:27
  • Exactly what I need: Only one product customer can add in the cart. I want to write code to relate this, so if i get the total count of item in the category, i can restrict with error : if ($totalItemByCategory>1) { $result->setHasError(true) ->setMessage( Mage::helper('cataloginventory')->__('You cannot add one more free item in the cart.', '') ) ->setQuoteMessage(Mage::helper('cataloginventory')->__('Some of the products cannot be ordered in requested quantity.')) return $result; } – Lavanya Jan 8 '16 at 7:30
  • You can simply write event observer for check cart have 1 product from specific category? – zus Jan 8 '20 at 10:12

Magento default didn't provide for free product in Shopping Cart Price Rules. You need to find a plug-in for this.

Here cheapest one that I used before.

This one is compatible up to Magento 1.9.2

Then, you can set free product based on which categories.
