How to set up a product discount in Advanced Dynamic Pricing for WooCommerce

Product discount is a fairly popular type of discount in online stores. It can be described as a targeted offer, such as buy 2 and get one of equal or lesser value free.

Such a discount can be charged to the actual cost of the product, the quantity purchased, the value of a second unit bought (like a two-for-one), or any combination of these.

Some discounts are only available for a short time and can only be applied once.

All shopping sites offer coupons or discounts.
