Buy 2 get the 3rd one free

Is there a way to create the concept of buy 2 get the 3rd one free ..in Nop ??

No, but here is what you can do:
1. Let's say you have Product1, Product2, Product3.
2. Go to the Product1 variant details page. Ensure that 'Require other product variants are added to the cart' is checked. Set 'Required product variant IDs:' to Product3 ID. And ensure that 'Automatically add these product variants to the cart' is checked.
3. Create a new discount. Ensure that 'Discount type' type is set to 'Assigned to product variants'. Check 'Use percentage' and set 'Discount percentage' to '100%'. Then go 'requirements' tab and create 'Customer has all of these product variants in the cart' requirement with IDs of Product1 and Product2.
4. Apply this discount to Product3 (on the product variant details page, discounts tab)

Is this a GENERIC SOLUTION where it would work with ANY 3 products the customer buys
or ...just to those 3 specific products (Product1, Product2, Product3) ?

Cause it seems that if I do that, I will NOT be able to sell that Product by itself.
..and that makes it a "no no".

Hi,

How about using tier prices ? is if only for one product then you could add a tier price where the quantity of 3 and the price would be (price x 2 /3).
Should give the same effect the only issue with this (that I can see) is that is only per product variant.

Try follow the next steps:

1. Let's say we have Product1, Product2, Product3.
2. Create a new discount. Ensure that 'Discount type' type is set to 'Assigned to product variants'. Check 'Use percentage' and set 'Discount percentage' to '100%'. Then go 'requirements' tab and create 'Customer has all of these product variants in the cart' requirement with IDs of Product1 and Product2.
3. Apply this discount to Product3 (on the product variant details page, discounts tab)

Note: The only issue here is that you have to manually add Product3 to the cart

This would also not work if you wanted to allow a free gift depending on order value e.g. Free gift if you spend over X

Right. But we're talking about "Buy 2 get the 3rd one free" feature and it works.

This one is an absolutely another requirement. In this case you'll have to implement a new discount requirement rule plugin (sub-total is over $X, this one is not implemented in nopCommerce yet) and use it when configuring a discount
