Price rule: How to apply "Buy 6 products and get 1 free" in this special case

[malloco]

Hi,

I have not seen any topic similar to this one, so I have just opened this. Hope somebody can help me with this.
 

I've got a supplier with more than 40 products, which I sell in my online store and we would like to apply this rule: "Buy 6 and get one free" but applied to product type, that is:

 

. If you buy 6 units of Product X1 of supplier Y, you get 1 unit of product X1 free

. If you buy 6 units of Product X2 of supplier Y, you get 1 unit of product X2 free

. If you buy 6 units of Product X3 of supplier Y, you get 1 unit of product X3 free

[...]

. If you buy 6 units of Product X40 of supplier Y, you get 1 unit of product X40 free

 

Considering that the following rule can not be applied:

 

. If you buy 3 units of Product X1 of supplier Y and 3 units of Product X2 of supplier Y, I cannot get 1 unit free.

 

I can do this individually, that is, creating 40 price rules. As i have to show this promotions in the customer cart, the problem I found is that I get a very big list of promotions in the customer cart transforming it in a mess. 

In addition, supplier Y also offers a 12+3 promotion, so I would have to create 80 cart rules.

I have tried all possibilites, but have not found an easiest way to do this.

 

Does anybody knows how to simplify this? any modules? anyway?

Thank you so much in advance,

Hi Bud, 

 

I offer similar promotions on one of my sites and have asked this before but I believe the only options are do it manually or someone did say they had a module they built but it was glitchy so i refrained from that.

 

I would be interested to see if there is any answer out there now though as it was 18 months or so ago i tried to get an answer.
