Smart Dynamic Pricing is a powerful WooCommerce plugin that helps store owners move beyond fixed pricing and adopt intelligent, rule-based price automation.
Instead of manually changing prices, you can create dynamic pricing rules that automatically adjust product prices based on real-world conditions such as product selection, stock levels, customer location, date and time, and more.
The plugin is built with flexibility in mind, offering advanced rule logic using AND/OR conditions and grouped configurations.

How does the Smart Dynamic Pricing Plugin work?
↑ Back to topSmart Dynamic Pricing Plugin works by automatically adjusting product prices based on rules you define, instead of relying on fixed pricing. You create pricing rules using a structured rule builder where you select the products the rule should apply to and define the conditions that must be met.
These conditions can include factors like stock levels, customer location, date and time, device type, and more. Once a rule’s conditions are satisfied, the plugin calculates the adjusted price in real time.
Each rule follows a clear evaluation flow. Rules are checked based on their priority order, and within a rule, condition groups are evaluated using logical AND/OR combinations.

FAQs
↑ Back to topHelp customers by answering commonly asked questions.
Will dynamic pricing affect my entire store or only the cart?
Dynamic pricing applies across your entire store — including shop pages, product pages, cart, checkout, thank-you page, and order details. Customers always see consistent prices everywhere.
What happens if multiple pricing rules match the same product?
You stay in control. The plugin allows you to choose how multiple rules behave:
– First matching rule
– Highest discount
– Lowest discount
If no option is selected, the system safely defaults to First Occurrence.
Can I apply rules only to specific products?
Yes. You can target pricing rules by:
– Individual products
– Categories
– Tags
– Brands
Note: You can also exclude specific products using “not equals” conditions.
How does location-based pricing work?
The plugin detects location differently for logged-in and guest users:
– Logged-in users: Combines saved address and browser location
– Guest users: Uses browser location (permission required)
If permission is denied, the plugin can redirect users to a configurable URL (which you can set from the plugin setting page).
Is customer privacy respected?
Yes. Location and device data are used only for pricing logic, not for tracking or analytics. All data handling follows WordPress and WooCommerce standards.
