WooCommerce Dynamic Pricing

WooCommerce Dynamic Pricing is a WooCommerce extension that applies pricing adjustments to products and carts: quantity discounts, tiered pricing, buy X get Y (BOGO) offers, wholesale and role-based pricing, and category and cart-total discounts. It is built for store developers and agencies configuring pricing for a client, and for wholesale (B2B) stores.

Can Dynamic Pricing do this?

↑ Back to top

Question	Answer
Quantity discounts and bulk discounts	Yes. Dynamic Pricing gives a product a lower unit price once the cart holds a set quantity, configured on the product’s Dynamic Pricing tab in Bulk mode.
Tiered pricing	Yes. Dynamic Pricing takes a table of quantity tiers per product, and every unit in the cart is priced at the tier the quantity reaches. Each tier is a percentage off, a flat amount off each unit, or a fixed unit price.
BOGO and buy X get Y	Yes. Dynamic Pricing’s Special Offer mode gives the customer a set number of items free or discounted after buying a set number, once per order or repeating, on a product or across a category.
Wholesale and role-based pricing	Yes. Dynamic Pricing applies a discount for any WordPress user role, store-wide on the Role Pricing tab or on individual products, and shows logged-in customers in that role the adjusted price in the shop.
Category and brand discounts	Yes. Dynamic Pricing discounts every product in a category or brand, and can also discount by the quantity bought across a category.
Cart-total discounts	Yes. Dynamic Pricing takes a percentage off orders above an amount you set, for everyone, guests or specific roles.
Scheduled sale dates	Yes. In Dynamic Pricing, product rules, Advanced Category and Advanced Brand rules, and order-total rules take start and end dates.
Variable products	Yes. Dynamic Pricing counts quantities across all variations of a product or per variation, and a rule can be limited to specific variations.
Discounted price on the product page	Yes. Dynamic Pricing shows the adjusted price in the shop and on the product page for role, category and brand pricing, and for product tiers that start at a quantity of 1.
Other extensions	Dynamic Pricing includes integrations for WooCommerce Memberships, Product Bundles, Product Add-ons, Groups and WooCommerce Brands, counts Gravity Forms Product Add-ons configurations one cart line at a time, and is declared compatible with the Cart and Checkout blocks and High-Performance Order Storage. See Dynamic Pricing compatibility for what each one does.
Coupons	Coupons apply on top of Dynamic Pricing adjustments by default. A filter makes coupons set to exclude sale items skip adjusted lines.

The three most common setups follow, each with the cart totals to expect. The reference below covers every other setting.

Requirements

↑ Back to top

• WordPress 6.5 or later
• WooCommerce 9.0 or later
• PHP 7.4 or later

Which screen do I need?

↑ Back to top

You want	Where it is configured
Buy 2, get 1 free, or any buy X get Y offer on a product	The product’s Dynamic Pricing tab, Special Offer mode
Lower unit prices as quantity goes up	The product’s Dynamic Pricing tab, Bulk mode
A trade or wholesale price for a user role	WooCommerce > Dynamic Pricing > Role Pricing, or the product’s tab for one product
A percentage off orders above an amount	WooCommerce > Dynamic Pricing > Order Totals Pricing
The same discount on a whole category or brand	WooCommerce > Dynamic Pricing > Category Pricing or Brand Pricing

Quick start 1: Buy 2, get 1 free

↑ Back to top

The customer pays for two and receives a third free. The offer applies to each block of three items in the cart.

1. Edit the product and open the Dynamic Pricing tab in the Product data panel.
2. Click Add Pricing Group.
3. Leave Applies To on Everyone and Quantities based on on Product Quantity.
4. Set Rule Processing Mode to Special Offer, the mode for free and discounted items.
5. Fill the row: Purchase 2, Receive 1, Type Percentage Discount, Amount 100, Repeating Yes.
6. Click Update.

Measured on a $30 product with this rule:

In cart	Full price	Charged	Free items
2	$60.00	$60.00	0
3	$90.00	$60.00	1
6	$180.00	$120.00	2

The cart shows three items at $20 each: a cart line holds one price per item, so the discount is spread across the line. Set Repeating to No for one free item per order, or the amount to 50 for half price.

Full recipe, with every variation: Buy 2, get 1 free.

Quick start 2: Quantity pricing

↑ Back to top

The more a customer buys, the lower the unit price. When the cart reaches a tier, every unit in it gets that tier’s price.

1. Edit the product and open the Dynamic Pricing tab.
2. Click Add Pricing Group. Leave Applies To on Everyone, Quantities based on on Product Quantity and Rule Processing Mode on Bulk.
3. Fill the first row: Minimum Quantity 5, Max Quantity 9, Type Percentage Discount, Amount 10.
4. Click + to add a row: 10, 24, Percentage Discount, 20.
5. Add a third: 25, *, Percentage Discount, 30. The * covers every higher quantity.
6. Click Update.

Measured on a $100 product with these tiers:

In cart	Unit price	Charged
4	$100.00	$400.00
5	$90.00	$450.00
10	$80.00	$800.00
25	$70.00	$1,750.00

Quantities 1 to 4 stay at the regular price.

Tiers on a variable product

↑ Back to top

On a variable product, the setting that decides the price is Quantities based on. Product Quantity adds up every variation of the product; Variation Quantity counts each variation on its own. To give the tiers to selected variations, set Product / Variations to Specific Variations.

Measured on a hoodie in sizes S, M and L, every size $100, with two rows: 5 to 9 at 10% off and 10 to * at 20% off.

In cart	Quantities based on	Charged
3 S + 2 L	Product Quantity	$450.00, every unit at $90
3 S + 2 L	Variation Quantity	$500.00, each size below 5
5 S + 2 L	Variation Quantity	$650.00, S at $90 and L at $100
4 S + 3 M + 3 L	Product Quantity	$800.00, every unit at $80
10 S	Variation Quantity	$800.00, every unit at $80

Use Product Quantity when the customer thinks of the order as “10 hoodies”, and Variation Quantity when each size or colour is priced as its own item.

Full recipe, including variable products: Tiered quantity discounts.

Quick start 3: Wholesale pricing by role

↑ Back to top

Customers in a user role, such as a wholesale role, see a lower price as soon as they log in: in the shop, on the product page and in the cart. Everyone else sees the regular price. Create the role first, with at least one customer in it to check the result.

1. Go to WooCommerce > Dynamic Pricing and open the Role Pricing tab.
2. Find the row for your wholesale role and tick Enabled.
3. Set Type to Percentage Discount and Amount to 25.
4. Click Save Changes.

Measured with this rule:

Signed in as	Regular price	Charged
Retail customer	$100.00	$100.00
Wholesale customer	$100.00	$75.00
Wholesale customer	$40.00	$30.00

If the trade discount differs by product, use the product’s Dynamic Pricing tab: set Applies To to Specific Roles, pick the role, and add one Bulk row with Minimum Quantity 1 and Max Quantity *. Where a product has its own rule, that rule sets the product’s price.

Full recipe, including both routes side by side: Wholesale pricing by role.

How rules work together

↑ Back to top

• Shop and product page prices. The shop and product page show the adjusted price next to the struck-through regular price for role, category and brand pricing, and for product tiers whose first tier starts at a quantity of 0 or 1. Quantity tiers and buy X get Y offers update the cart price as the customer adds items.
• A product’s own rule takes priority over role pricing. A cart line priced by a product rule keeps that price.
• Category and brand pricing combine with role pricing by default. Category Pricing applies first, then the role discount applies to the result. Developers can change whether rules stack with the woocommerce_dynamic_pricing_is_cumulative filter.
• Order totals pricing applies last, to items at their regular price.
• Within a product, pricing groups are checked top to bottom and the first one that matches is used.
• Special offers discount the cheapest qualifying item first.
• Coupons apply on top of pricing adjustments. See the FAQ to make “Exclude sale items” coupons skip adjusted lines.

• Enter plain numbers: 25 for 25% or $25.
• Write large numbers as digits: 1000.
• If your store’s decimal separator is a comma, use a comma for decimal amounts.

FAQ

↑ Back to top

Which prices show on the product page?

↑ Back to top

The product page shows the adjusted price next to the struck-through regular price for role, category and brand pricing. A product whose first tier starts at a quantity of 0 or 1 shows that tier’s price. Quantity tiers and buy X get Y offers update the cart price as the customer adds items.

Do coupons apply on top of Dynamic Pricing?

↑ Back to top

Yes, coupons apply on top of pricing adjustments. To make coupons with Exclude sale items ticked skip lines that Dynamic Pricing has adjusted, add this to your theme’s functions.php or a code snippets plugin:

add_filter( 'wc_dynamic_pricing_check_coupons', '__return_true' );

Can I leave sale items out of pricing adjustments?

↑ Back to top

For product rules and Advanced Category Pricing, yes. The woocommerce_dynamic_pricing_process_product_discounts filter receives the product, and returning false for it leaves that cart line at its own price.

Which item is free in a buy X get Y offer?

↑ Back to top

The cheapest qualifying item in the cart.

How do rules work with Product Bundles?

↑ Back to top

It depends on the bundle’s pricing. A bundle with its own price is treated as one product. If bundled items are priced individually, rules apply to each item, so a bundle of 2 games and 2 books counts as 4 items for a product quantity rule.

How do pricing adjustments work with orders edited in the admin?

↑ Back to top

Pricing adjustments apply in the cart and at checkout. For an order you edit by hand in the admin, set its totals on the order screen.

Why do administrators see every role discount?

↑ Back to top

On multisite, a network administrator counts as every role, so every role rule applies to them. Test role pricing with a customer account in that role.

Can I round to more decimal places?

↑ Back to top

Dynamic Pricing rounds to your WooCommerce decimal setting. To calculate with four decimal places:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_dynamic_pricing_get_decimals', function () { return 4; } );

Prices display at your store’s decimal setting.

I see an array of data under each cart item

That is debug output from WP_DEBUG. Set WP_DEBUG to false in wp-config.php on a live store. See Debugging in WordPress.
