Category: Promotions, Discounts & Bundles
Last Updated: February 20, 2026
Applies to: Retail merchants using Clover POS who want to run automated promotions like "Buy 2 Get 1 Free," BOGO deals, quantity-based discounts, mix-and-match bundles, combo meals, progressive "buy more save more," or stacking discounts — ideal for stores selling similar items (e.g., apparel, accessories, groceries, beverages), restaurants with combos, or any business boosting average order value through rules-based automation.
Overview
The Mix or Match Discount Bundler app by CSI Works is a powerful Clover POS tool that lets you create flexible, rule-based promotions that trigger automatically at checkout. It supports unlimited discount scenarios without manual entry, including quantity thresholds, item/category restrictions, lowest-price discounting, and stacking multiple promotions. The app works seamlessly in Register, Dining, and other Clover apps on supported devices (all Clover smart POS devices, including Mini, Flex, Station, Duo, etc.).
This app is especially useful for "Buy X Get Y Free" or similar promotions where you define triggers based on quantities scanned, apply discounts to the cheapest/most expensive items, and limit to specific SKUs or categories.

Answer
Yes, the Mix or Match app fully supports the exact "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" setup you described (and many variations). It automates everything at checkout once configured.
