#### Step 1: Set up the offer

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Go to **AOV.ai Bundle > Offers > Create > Frequently Bought Together.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Enter an Offer name. This name is internal only.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In **Customer meets condition**, choose **one:**

* **Specific collection** → click **Select**, choose one or more collections; any product in those collections will *trigger* the offer.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
Choose **Suggested products** to pair with the trigger:

* **AI Recommendation** – auto-suggested by AOV.ai based on patterns.
* **Same collection** – items from the same collection.

* **Specific collection** – manually pick a collection.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
(Optional) Enable **Add free gift** if you want to include an additional free item.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

#### Step 2: Configure discount settings

This section controls **how much customers save** when they buy the bundle. You can set the discount type, value, and any rules for how the discount applies.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Toggle **Discount Bundle** on.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select a **Discount type**:

* Percentage (e.g., 10% off)
* Fixed amount
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
Enter the discount value.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
(Optional) Configure:

* **Discount combinations** (e.g., allow stacking with product or order discounts).
* **Maximum discount uses:** Limit how often the discount can be used:
  * **Limit number of times this discount can be used in total** – set a global usage cap across all customers (e.g., first 50 uses only).
  * **Limit to one use per customer** – each customer can use the bundle discount only once.
    {% endstep %}
    {% endstepper %}

#### Step 3: Advanced configuration

These options refine how the bundle behaves. Toggle to enable the feature(s) you want.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Apply minimum product to receive a discount

* Require customers to add a certain number of items before the discount applies.
* Example: Must add at least 3 products from the bundle to unlock the discount.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
Exclude trigger product from discount

* The trigger product will not receive any discount.
* Only the suggested products get discounted.
* Example: Polo Shirt (trigger) stays at full price, but Sneakers and T-Shirt get 10% off.
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

#### Step 4: Schedule (optional)

Define when the bundle discount should start and end.

Useful for campaigns tied to events like Back-to-School or Black Friday.
