Fair Pairing – Optimal Pair Matching.
To follow Fair Pairing standards, discounts must use a Greedy Descending Pairing approach instead of selecting the cheapest items across the entire cart.
Steps: Sort Items: Arrange all eligible items by price (highest → lowest).
Pairing (1+1): Group items sequentially (1,2), (3,4), (5,6). The second item in each pair gets the discount. If one item remains, it gets no discount.
Multi-Buy (e.g., 2+1): Group items (1,2,3), (4,5,6).
The last item in each group receives the discount.
Purpose: Ensures discounts are applied per pair/group, complying with consumer protection rules for offers like “Buy 1 Get 1.”
- Usage Limits
- When enabled, the discount repeats as many times as the cart meets the requirements.
- When disabled, the discount applies only once per order.
