This form of promotion allows you to set things up so that customers have to purchase items from a number of different group for a discounted price or percentage off the price of the order. For example: buy home shirt, shorts and socks get 10% off. You would create a different group with each product (1 for shirt, 1 for shorts and 1 for socks)
This promotion can be set up in Till and Customer Orders Promotions under Pricing.
Under the Maintain Promotions option ensure mix and match is selected
