Perfect for bulk discount pricing. * **X for Y** — Classic BOGO-style: buy X pay for Y (e.g. Buy 3, Pay for 2). * **Nth unit % off** — Percentage off every Nth item (e.g. 50% off the 2nd unit). * **Cart % discount** — Percentage off the cart when conditions are met. * **Cart fixed discount** — Fixed amount off the cart total. * **Free shipping** — Free shipping when conditions are met (replaces or overrides the shipping rate). * **Free gift** — Automatically add one or more free products when conditions are met. * **Category discounts** — Different percent or fixed discount per product category in one rule. * **Fixed price** — Override a product's price to a specific amount; choose to apply to all matching items, the cheapest, or the most expensive. Option to always set the price or only when it is a genuine discount. --- ### Rule Conditions Target the right customers at the right time: * **Cart conditions** — Cart subtotal (min/max), cart quantity (min/max), number of distinct line items. * **Customer conditions** — User role (e.g. Wholesale, Subscriber), specific user, total amount spent, number of past orders. * **Product conditions** — Specific products in cart. * **Page conditions** — Cart page, checkout page. * **Coupon condition** — Coupon applied to cart. * **Shipping condition** — Customer's shipping country. * **Schedule** — Optional start date, end date, and days of the week per rule. --- ### Targeting & Exclusions Choose exactly which products a rule applies to: * **Apply to all products** — Rule applies store-wide. * **Specific products** — Target individual product IDs. * **Specific categories** — Target one or more product categories. * **Per-rule exclusions** — Exclude selected products, categories, or tags from a specific rule. * **Global Exclusion List** — A single screen to exclude products from every rule at once (useful for sale items, bundles, etc.). --- ### Templates Start faster with built-in rule templates: | Template | Discount Type | |---|---| | 3 for 2 | X for Y | | 2 for 1 (BOGO) | X for Y | | 50% off the 2nd unit | Nth % off | | Tiered bulk discount | Tiered | | Black Friday % off | Percent off | | Wholesale / role pricing | Role-based | | Free gift on cart | Free gift | | Cart subtotal discount | Cart % off | | Free shipping on cart | Free shipping | | Checkout deal | Cart fixed off | | Category discount | Category discounts | Or start from scratch — the full editor is available for any discount type. --- ### Admin Interface * **Vue 3 single-page app** — Fast, reactive admin with no full-page reloads. * **Rules list** — Sort, filter by type/status, search by name, bulk enable/disable/delete. * **Rule editor** — Two-column layout with a sticky publish sidebar; visual discount-type card grid; segmented controls; structured condition pills; proper tiered-pricing table; and a clean section hierarchy (Discount → Apply To → Conditions → Users & Schedule → Display). * **Templates modal** — Pick a starting template in one click. * **Exclusion List** — Searchable product, category, and tag exclusion manager. --- ### Upcoming Features 🚀 * Shortcodes and Gutenberg blocks for discount messaging. * Import/export rules (CSV / JSON). * Additional condition types and benefit options. * Styling options for frontend discount messages. * Compatibility with major page builders. --- == Installation == **From WordPress admin (recommended):** 1.

Dynamic Pricing & Discount Rules for WooCommerce provides the core dynamic pricing features found in premium plugins — tiered discounts, BOGO, role-based pricing, cart promotions, free shipping rules, and free gifts — completely free with no pro plan required. = Does it support bulk / quantity-based discounts? = Yes. The **Tiered pricing** discount type lets you set different discount percentages or fixed amounts per quantity range. For example: 5% off for 2–4 items, 10% off for 5–9, 15% off for 10 or more. = Can I offer different prices to wholesale or B2B customers? = Yes. Use the **User role** condition to restrict rules to specific roles (e.g. Wholesale, B2B, Subscriber). Combine with any discount type to give role-based pricing without a separate plugin. = How does rule priority work? = Each rule has a numeric priority. The engine applies the highest-priority rule that matches the current cart and customer. Only one discount message is shown on product and shop pages — the one rule the customer will actually receive. = Can I schedule discount rules to run during a specific date range? = Yes. Every rule has an optional schedule with a start date, end date, and optional days of the week. Use it for flash sales, seasonal promotions, or recurring weekly deals. = Does it work with variable products? = Yes. Rules apply to the matched cart items regardless of whether the product is simple or variable. Both product-level and cart-level discounts work with variable products. = Can I exclude certain products from all discounts? = Yes. The **Global Exclusion List** (under **Pricing Rules → Exclusions**) lets you exclude specific products, categories, or tags from every rule at once. You can also add per-rule exclusions in the rule editor. = Will it conflict with WooCommerce coupons? = Rules and coupons work independently. You can use the **Coupon applied** condition to fire a rule only when a specific coupon is present, or run rules without coupons entirely. = Can I show the discount on the shop / archive page? = Yes. Enable "Show on shop" in the rule's display settings. A compact badge appears under the price on the shop/archive listing. On single product pages, the full discount message appears automatically. = Is the plugin compatible with WooCommerce HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage)? = Yes. The plugin declares compatibility with WooCommerce custom order tables (HPOS). = Where can I get support? = Open a thread on the [WordPress.org support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wpulse-pricing-rules-for-woocommerce/). We respond to every thread. --- == Screenshots == 1. Rules list with filters, search, and bulk actions (enable, disable, delete). 2. Templates modal — choose a template or start from scratch. 3.

Fixes SQL injection hardening, CSRF/XSS improvements, removes duplicate AJAX routes, and adds request-scoped caching throughout the rule engine.
