Before creating our discount, let\u2019s use an example to better illustrate how it will work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- If the customer is a wholesaler AND purchases between 5 and 10<\/b> of a product, we need to apply a 10% discount off the product price<\/b>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If the customer is a wholesaler AND \u00a0purchases between 11 and 20<\/b> of a product, we need to apply a 13% discount off the product price<\/b>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Now that we agree on what we intend to do, we can now follow this WooCommerce bulk discount demo to create our WooCommerce role-based pricing discount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Click on Discounts > New Discount <\/b>menu to access the new discount page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- After setting up the basic discount properties such as the start and end date, periodicity and user limit, set the ‘rules relationship’<\/b> to AND<\/b>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Then click on the Add rules group<\/b> button to create a new rules set.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The first rules group we need to add will make sure this part of the discount applies: \u201cIf customer purchases more than 5 of a product within the clothing category<\/b>\u201d. To do that, click on the Add rules group<\/b> button to create a new group.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Select the If Order items count<\/b> as discount condition for the first rule.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Then select is more than<\/b> as the comparison operator.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Finally, enter 5 as value<\/b> to compare the condition with.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Then click on the and button<\/b> in the group to add a new rule within the same group below the first rule we just set.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Set If Order products<\/b> as the discount condition, IN<\/b> as operator and select the product list<\/b> you previously created. By following the previous steps, you will get the result below:
![\"woocommerce](\"https:\/\/www.orionorigin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/bulk-discount-category-1-1.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n- Click on the Add rules group<\/b> button to add the second rules group. That second group we need to add will make sure this part of the discount applies: \u201cIf customer purchases less than 10 of a product within the clothing category<\/b>\u201d. Repeat the previous steps to setup the group as below:
![\"bulk](\"https:\/\/www.orionorigin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/bulk-discount-category-2.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/a> These two groups must be\u00a0added separately<\/b> to have the plugin interpret each group independently according to our needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Click on the Add rules group<\/b> button to add the third rules group. That third group we need to add will make sure that all the previous rules only applies for our customer role just like this:
![\"bulk](\"https:\/\/www.orionorigin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/bulk-discount-user-role.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/a> This will allow you to select any existing user role, both default and custom ones added by a plugin.
These three groups must be added separately<\/b> to have the plugin interpret each group independently according to our needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Set the discount Action to Percentage off product price<\/b>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Set the Evaluate per product<\/b> to Yes <\/b>if needed to make sure the plugin evaluates the number of purchases per product.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Select the previously created Product list<\/b> on which to apply the discount when all defined conditions rules are met.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Save the discount.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Create a different discount for each interval of your bulk pricing strategy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
The entire discount for the first interval will look just like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow to create a bulk discount strategy per customer group?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The main difference between the customers’ roles <\/b>and the customers’ groups<\/b> is that WordPress only allows one role per user. On the other hand, groups managed by the groups plugin<\/a> are the perfect alternative to create multiple roles for a user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to create a bulk discount per user group, just follow the same steps as the “customer role” WooCommerce bulk demo but make sure you select \u201cIf customer group\u201d<\/b> as the discount condition instead of \u201cIf customer role\u201d<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- After setting up the basic discount properties such as the start and end date, periodicity and user limit, set the ‘rules relationship’<\/b> to AND<\/b>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If the customer is a wholesaler AND \u00a0purchases between 11 and 20<\/b> of a product, we need to apply a 13% discount off the product price<\/b>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
