The purchased history-based discounts can be configured both at the product and cart level.

2.Based on User-Role

The user role based discounts are typical among online stores. Different customers playing different roles such as Premium users or subscribers or registered users, wholesalers can get separate discounts in your store if you apply this rule. Take a look at the below screenshot,

based on user role

If you want to provide a discount when only for Subscribers and Customers or different discounts for Retailers and Wholesalers, then you can select the respective User role in the list, from the drop-down in the rules section. The discount value can be set on the discount section of the rule page. This advanced WooCommerce plugin for discount coupons can be configured both at the cart and product level.

Bulk Discount is a way of providing discounts for customers who purchase in bulk from your WooCommerce store. Bulk discounts can be offered both at the product and cart level.

Store Wide bulk discounts come into action when you apply the rule for all the products in your WooCommerce store. It is a WooCommerce discount for quantity. This can be configured as illustrated below,

The above screenshot displays only 2 discount tiers. Any number of discount tiers can be set as per the requirements.

WooCommerce bulk discounts can also be configured for a specific category(ies), a specific product, variable products, bulk discounts using WooCommerce extension coupons, and bulk discounts based on cart quantity.

4.BOGO Deals

When it comes to BOGO deals, there are generally two cases involved. First is where you give the same product purchased by the customer as the free product, and second is where you give a different product as the free product.

Buy X and Get X

The WooCommerce BOGO deal for the same product.

On the rule page, enter the rule name and select the discount type as “Buy X and get X” from the drop-down as illustrated below,

Bogo same product

In the Get discount section,

Enter the minimum and maximum quantity to be purchase.

Enter the quantity of the Free product and its discount type as “Free”.

Here,

If the customer purchases 2 or 3 quantities of a product, a quantity same product will be added automatically to the cart for Free.

Similarly, If the customer purchases 4or 5quantities of a product, 2 quantities of the same product will be added automatically to the cart for Free.

When you want the discounts to be applied in sequential ranges enable the “Recursive” option.

Buy X and Get Y

The WooCommerce BOGO deal for different products.

Bogo different product

In the get discount section, has the below options,

Get Y Discount type has three options,

Get Y Discount type: free Product with auto-add options.

Buy X and get Y – Categories: either the cheapest or highest product from the specific category will be given as the free product.

Buy X and get Y – All: The cheapest or the highest product in the store will be offered as a free product.

Here choose,

Get Y Discount type as “Get Y Discount type” and enable the Auto-Add option.

Buy X count based on – Filters set above (counts the items cumulatively).

For any 2 items, a quantity of belt is added as the free product.

For any 3 items, 2 quantities of the belt are added as the free product.

Note: You can enable the Recursive option if you are configuring discounts like Buy 1 and Get 1
BOGO deals can be configured on product(s)/category(ies)/attribute(s) as per your requirements.

5.Based on Cart quantity and subtotal

Cart Quantity

Total cart quantity refers to the number of items in the customer’s cart. You can also include the number of each line item in the cart. There are options for both the cases in Woo Discount Rules.

The below screenshot displays the configuration for item quantity,

based on cart quantity

Choose condition type as “Item Quantity” and select greater than or less than value.

The below screenshot displays the configuration for Line item quantity,

line item configuration

Choose condition type as “ Line Item Count” and select greater than or less than value.

Order Subtotal

Here comes the subtotal based discount. The order subtotal is nothing but the total amount for which the customer has purchased.

order subtotal

Choose condition type as “Subtotal” and select greater than or less than the value (total amount).

For example, you can provide a discount based on the order subtotal, say “All orders above $500 will get a 15% discount”.

You can create as many conditions per rule as you want but the discount value is the same for all. You cannot apply a 15% discount for one condition and 10% for another. If you want to apply different discount values, then you need to create a separate discount rule.

The below steps is the gist of creating a WooCommerce discount Rule,

  • Choose the relevant discount type
  • Enter the discount value
  • Click the Save Rule button

You are now good to go. The rule is saved and will be applied in your WooCommerce online store without clashing with other existing discount rules.

There is no limit to how many conditions or ranges you add per rule, and also how many rules you create for your store. With WooCommerce Discount Rules, you can create as many advanced discount rules as you please, with the utmost ease.
