Plugin / WooCommerce Bulk Discount

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Download the latest version and extract it in the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
Once the plugin is activated, you can use it as follows:
First navigate to WooCommerce settings. Under the Bulk Discount tab, find the global
configuration for bulk discounts. Make sure “Bulk Discount enabled” is checked and optionally
fill information about discounts which will be visible on the cart page. You can include HTML
markup in the text – you can, for instance, include a link to your page with your discount
policy. Since version 2.0 you may choose to use a flat discount applied to the cart item subtotal. Optionally you may also
modify the CSS styles for the old value and the new value which is displayed in the cart.
Save the settings.
If you want to set the discount individually per product then navigate to Products and choose a product for which you want
to create a discount policy. In the Product Data panel, click Bulk Discount and optionally fill information about the discount
which will be visible in the product description. If you want to set the discount policy globally for all products, just create
a private product with the title ‘wc_bulk_discount_configurer’ (without quotes). In the bulk discount section of this private
product set the discount as in the case of any individual product (see step 3).
Click “Add discount line” button to create a policy. Quantity (min.) means minimal
number of ordered items so that the (second textbox) Discount applies. It is possible to
add up to five discount lines to fine-tune the discount setting.
Yes, multiple discounts (related to a single product) are supported. Currently it is possible to
set up to 5 discount lines. That should be enough for reasonable fine-tuning of the discount.
Since version 2.0 another type of discount is added, allowing you to set a flat discount in currency units
for the cart item subtotal. Since version 2.4.2 you can add a fixed discount type which is a bit different than
the flat discount type – see below for examples.
Yes. Since version 2.0, this feature has been implemented.
Yes, in case you have several product variations in your store and you need to apply the discount
to all the purchased variations, please upgrade to the latest version of Bulk Discount.
This functionality can be disabled in Bulk Discount settings.
Yes, the plugin supports localization files. You can add support for your language as well by the standard process.
Sure. Below is an example of setting a bulk discount for a product with three discount lines.
Quantity (min.) = 3, Discount (%) = 5
Quantity (min.) = 8, Discount (%) = 10
Quantity (min.) = 15, Discount (%) = 15
If the customer orders, say, 12 items of the product which costs $15 per item, the second
discount line will apply. The customer then pays 12 * 15 = 225 dollars in total minus
10%, which yields $202.5. Note that this discount policy only applies to the concrete product — other
products may have their own (possibly different) discount policies.
Example for flat discount follows:
Quantity (min.) = 10, Discount ($) = 10
Quantity (min.) = 30, Discount ($) = 20
If the customer orders, say, 15 items of the product which costs $10 per item, the first discount
line will apply and the customer will pay (15 * 10) – 10 dollars. If the customers orders
50 items, the second discount line will apply and the final price will be (50 * 10) – 20 dollars.
Example for fixed discount follows:
Quantity (min.) = 10, Discount ($) = 2
Quantity (min.) = 30, Discount ($) = 3
If the customer orders, say, 15 items of the product which costs $10 per item, the first discount
line will apply and the customer will pay (15 * 10) – (15 * 2) = 15 * (10 – 2) dollars. If the customers orders
50 items, the second discount line will apply and the final price will be (50 * 10) – (50 * 3) = 50 * (10 – 3) dollars.Note the difference between fixed and flat discount types!!! Flat discount is a discount from the line subtotal while fixed discount is applied on each individual quantity.
To illustrate what the setting means, let’s have two variations: A and B of some product. Both have this bulk discount setting:
quantity = 10, discount = 10%
quantity = 20, discount = 50%.
If we have “Treat variations separately” checked, then when we order 10 times variation A and 10 times variation B, then 10% bulk discount will be applied on both cart lines.
If we have “Treat variations separately” unchecked, then when we order 10 times variation A and 10 times variation B, it will count the discount to 10 + 10 items,
i.e. 20 items together and now the discount 50% will apply to both cart lines.
Therefore in the first case we treated the variations separately in the computation of the discount and in the second case we treat them as shared.
This feature has been added to version 2.4.0 of WooCommerce Bulk Discount. If you want to set the discount policy globally for all products,
just create a private product with the title ‘wc_bulk_discount_configurer’ (without quotes). See https://codex.wordpress.org/Content_Visibility how to make a post (and also product) private.
In the bulk discount section of this private product set the discount as in the case of any individual product. This discount configuration will override all individual discounts set on products (if they have been set).
