↑ Back to top

The “Text Strings” section allows you to adjust various phrases displayed on your Name Your Price-enabled products, ensuring they match your site’s tone and design. These strings include the labels for the “Suggested Price”, “Minimum Price”, and the “Name Your Price” displays.

Styles

↑ Back to top

The “Styles” section gives you control over how the plugin’s elements are displayed on your site.

Disable Stylesheet

This setting allows you to disable the plugin’s default stylesheet. Enabling this option is helpful if you prefer to style the plugin’s elements manually or ensure better compatibility with your theme’s design. When the stylesheet is disabled, you can use custom CSS to control the appearance of fields, buttons, and other elements provided by the plugin. This approach is ideal for developers and designers who want full control over the plugin’s visual presentation.

Hide Quantity Input

Remove the quantity input field from the product page, ideal for products that only allow single-item purchases or where quantity selection isn’t necessary.

How to Use With Simple Products

↑ Back to top

To enable flexible, user-determined pricing on any simple product:

1. Edit a product and look for the ‘Name Your Price’ checkbox in the Product Data metabox. Simple, subscription and bundle products will support customers naming their own price.
2. Tick the checkbox to allow users to set their own price for this product. The suggested and minimum price fields will not be visible until this is checked. Note that this might not function properly if you have javascript disabled.
3. Fill in the suggested, minimum, and maximum prices as desired.
   1. The suggested price prompts users to enter that amount. It is also the price shown on the product page and in the product loop.
   2. The minimum price prevents products from being sold for less than you are willing to accept.
   3. The maximum price prevents products from being sold for more than you are willing to accept.
4. Save the product. When viewing the product on the front-end a text input will appear above the Add to Cart Button where the customer can enter what they are willing to pay.

A Few Notes

To not display a suggested price, you can simply leave the suggested field blank. Similarly to not enforce a minimum price, you can leave the minimum field blank.

How to Use With Variable Products

↑ Back to top

As of Name Your Price 2.0, you can now have name your price variations on variable or variable Subscriptions products. First you will need to set up a variable product. Once configured, within each variation look for a “Name Your Price” checkbox and follow the same rules as simple products for suggested and minimum prices for each variation.

On the front-end when a Name Your Price variation is selected, the Name Your Price price input will appear.

How to Use With Subscription Products

↑ Back to top

Note: Use with Subscription products requires the WooCommerce Subscription Extension – users who do not have WooCommerce Subscriptions installed will not see a “Subscriptions” tab.

Subscription products work similarly to simple products. If you check the Name Your Price box, the subscription price box will be disabled in favor of the suggested and minimum price inputs. The subscription billing period inputs remain unchanged.

Let the customer change their subscription amount

A customer who decides to pay $10 per month may want to increase or decrease their amount.

To enable them to change their subscription amount directly from their My Account area you need to enable price switching support.

To do that you will navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Subscriptions. Scroll down to Switching > Allowing Switching and check the box next to “Change Name Your Price subscription amount”. You can also customize the text of the switch button via the “Name Your Price switch button text” field.

Then be sure to click “Save Changes”.

On the front-end, the customer can navigate to the My Account > Subscriptions page. When they view a specific subscription that was made via Name Your Price, they will now see a “Change price” button (or link depending on the theme styles) next to their subscription product.

Clicking that link will take the customer back to the product page where they can change the price.

The customer will need to go through the checkout flow again. This is a requirement of the Subscriptions plugin. But we will redirect the customer to the checkout page automatically. When they complete checkout the price for their subscription will be updated.

Let the customer choose their billing frequency

The best way to do this is to use Variable Subscriptions, which are similar to Variable Products.

Create a “Billing Period” attribute and define the terms as the periods you wish to allow, such as “Weekly” and “Monthly.”

Then create variations from these attributes and configure the variation’s billing period to match. Then set the variation to be “Name Your Price” and fill in the suggested and minimum prices.
