This section, found under WooCommerce > Settings > Roles & Pricing > Custom Roles allows you to manage custom user roles in your WooCommerce store.

1. Role Label: This column displays the custom roles you’ve added, such as “Role 1,” “Gold,” or “VIP.” These roles can be used to assign different pricing rules to customers based on their role.
2. Role Slug: The role slug is the identifier used internally by WooCommerce for these roles. It is a unique string that represents each role (e.g., “gold,” “wholesale”).
3. Remove: Clicking the “Remove” link in this column deletes the respective custom role from your settings.

Insert Role: You can add new role by clicking the “Insert Role” button. When adding a role, you must specify a Role Label (what the customer sees) and a Role Slug (the system identifier). Moreover, this works for all product prices by user roles for WooCommerce.

In the Role based pricing section added a global rule set to enable or disable the specific pricing rules for different user roles. It is found WooCommerce > Settings > Roles & Pricing > Role Based Pricing.

Enable Global Pricing: When enabled, global role based pricing ruleset will be applied to the entire store.

Store owners can create unlimited rulesets to apply global pricing for entire store products for specific user roles. Each table header is defined below:
