# Discount cheapest cart item

In this guide, you’ll learn how to set up:

* Apply a Discount (x% % or x$ $) to the Cheapest Cart Item

Set the rule as buy any 3 products and get a discount on the cheapest one. (You can set another rule with more products.)

Instead of giving the cheapest item for free, you can apply a specific discount. This could be:

* Percentage discount (e.g., 50% off the cheapest item)
* Fixed discount (e.g., $10 off the lowest-priced item)

#### Step 1: Add a New Dynamic Pricing Rule

* Go to YayPricing > Click Add Rule and select Buy X Get Y

#### Step 2: Define the Pricing Rule for Buying 2 of 3 Products

In the Buy Product section:

Choose Cart Subtotal, Quantity, or Products in Cart depending on your campaign.

Example: Customer must buy at least 2 items.

#### Step 3: Choose the Cheapest Item Target

In the “Get Products” section, choose the “Discount" option > the Cheapest one. Specify the discount type as a percentage discount and the discount value. Assign 3 similar products as above.&#x20;

Option A: Percentage Discount

In the Get Product section, choose:

* Type: Discount %
* Amount: 30%
* YayPricing will automatically apply the percentage to the cheapest item.
