Note :

  • The discount rules will not be set with the same priority number.
  • The plugin automatically takes the next sequential priority number among your other store discounts.
  • Discount Priority is always taken in ascending order.

Here’s How to quickly create your price discount rules,

Price Discount Rule No.1- Specific product price discount

This discount rule offers a discount only when the customer shops the set product (specific product).

On the rule page, enter the rule name and choose the discount type as “Product Adjustment” as illustrated below,

set the price discount value

The first price rule is created for a specific product (Sunglasses) with a price discount of $5.

Price Discount Rule No.2- Category based percentage discount

On the rule page, enter the rule name and choose the discount type as “Product Adjustment” as illustrated below,

set the percentage discount

The second price rule is created for a specific category (Accessories) with a percentage discount of 20%.

Save and keep both the rules enabled.
Both the price discount rules are now active in the WooCommerce store.

So when the customer shops a Sunglass it obviously satisfies both of our created price discount rules.

Shopping a Sunglass satisfies Price Discount rule No.1- Specific Product Discount.

Shopping a Sunglass also satisfies Price Discount rule No.2- Category based discounts (since it falls under the Accessories category).

Now, let’s look at the shopping cart and see which of the two price discount rule gets applied.
