In this article, you’ll learn how to set up a WooCommerce cash on delivery fee in two easy steps. It’ll take you less than five minutes.

We’ll also look at some optional extras, like setting minimum or maximum order values for when the fee applies, whether to include shipping costs, and whether to apply tax.

What is cash on delivery in WooCommerce

Just as the name suggest, cash on delivery is a payment method in online stores where the customer pays on receiving their product instead of in advance. Even though it’s not as popular nowadays as it was before, thanks to more advanced online payment options, it’s still a requirement for every eCommerce website to include it. 

Some customers prefer not to disclose credit or debit card information online, which makes cash on delivery (COD) an essential part of any business that doesn’t want to lose potential clients. 

Another reason why you would want to include this method is if you offer customized products and you want to let the customer see whether everything is done per their requirements before committing to payment. 

In the end, including cash on delivery can only enrich the user experience by giving them more control over how they purchase products online.

Why you need to set up WooCommerce cash on delivery fee

There are probably thousands of reasons you might want to charge extra for cash on delivery in your WooCommerce store. Here are the top three:

• It requires additional resources for you to be serving online customers in person.
• You might find that customers who purchase using this method aren’t always there when you deliver – meaning that you need to spend extra time returning products to stock and cancelling orders.
• If your products are perishable, like food items, orders that don’t get delivered can lead to wastage.

In an ideal world, you’d get the payment upfront and online – but this might not be practical.

How much extra should you charge?

This will depend on your store and your products. The only person who can really know the answer to this question is you.

However, there are a couple of things to keep in mind:

• Don’t make the extra charge too high as it might lose you some sales.
• Apply the extra fee as a fixed amount or a percentage of the total order cost.
• Consider removing the fee for site members if you have a user role pricing feature to your website. 

You can also remove or lower the cash on delivery fee if the person has ordered above a certain amount and you have tiered pricing enabled.

Label

Enter the text that you’d like to display on the checkout page for the additional fee.

Type

Choose what kind of fee (or discount) you want apply. This can be a fixed amount or a percentage.

Amount

Enter the amount of the fee. If you chose percentage for the fee type, then the value you enter here will be the percentage.

Include shipping costs

If you want to include the shipping costs in the overall order, then check this option.

Minimum and maximum amounts

Maybe you only want to add a cash on delivery fee for orders under or over a certain value. Enter the amounts here.

Apply tax

Select the ‘Apply tax’ option to add tax to the cash on delivery fee. You can choose the tax class from the field below.

Seeing the cash on delivery fee at checkout

Now, when the customer chooses the cash on delivery fee at checkout, they’ll see an extra charge.

What happens if the customer changes their payment method?

If the user changes their payment gateway then the charge will automatically be removed, and the checkout fields will update.

Of course, adding a fee to your cash on delivery payments might be the opposite of what you want to do. Perhaps, you want to offer the customer a discount for paying this way.

If so, then all you need to do is set the ‘Type’ field to a fixed or percentage discount. Then users will get money off their order if they choose cash on delivery.

Payment gateway based fees and discounts for WooCommerce

In this article, I’m going to look at two ways to apply WooCommerce payment gateway based fees and discounts for WooCommerce:

• Use a plugin to apply fees and discounts in WooCommerce according to the payment gateway
• Programmatically apply fees and discounts according to the payment gateway

By the way, if you’re looking specifically for adding a cash on delivery fee, take a look at this article.

What is a WooCommerce payment gateway?

The payment gateway is the method used by the customer to pay for their order. Examples are PayPal, Stripe (for credit card payments), bank transfer, cash on delivery, and many more.

What payment gateways work with WooCommerce?

Some of the most popular payment gateways that work with WooCommerce are:

• WooPayments, which is WooCommerce’s official payment solution that works with its various extensions
• Stripe
• PayPal Payments
• Square for WooCommerce
• Afterpay
• Authorize.net
• Braintree for WooCommerce
• Klarna Payments
• Razorpay for WooCommerce
• Coinbase Commerce

The full list of WooCommerce payment gateways is available on WooCommerce’s Extension Store, and you’ll be able to filter these by price. The majority of payment gateways are free to download though some require monthly payments.

Which payment gateway should I choose?

Which payment gateway you choose is going to be down to a number of factors, including:

• Where you’re based – Not all payment gateways are available in every country
• How much you’re prepared to pay in fees – each gateway has a different fee structure
• How much you want to spend on initial costs – Some payment gateway plugins are free, others will cost you just to install them on your site

Ultimately, finding the perfect payment gateway hinges on carefully weighing these factors to ensure seamless transactions and optimal financial efficiency for your online business.

What do WooCommerce payment gateways cost?

Costs vary. For instance, PayPal can charge you up to 3.4% per transaction. That’s a big chunk of your profits.

On the other hand, if you offer BACS payments, Cash on Delivery, or other local pickup or collection options, you may not have any cost associated with the payment gateway.

This is the main reason you might want to levy a WooCommerce payment gateway based fee or discount – either to add a surcharge on the payment gateways that cost you extra. Or to offer a discount to customers if they use a cheaper payment method.

Not all payment gateways have costs attached

A really simple way of saving costs for yourself, as the business owner, and for your customers is to offer a collection option. Of course, this depends on the nature of your business but it works really well for stores that sell locally.

You can also offer bank transfer or cheque options. This increases the amount of manual work you need to do, and it slows down the overall process – but it does allow you to save some money.

Why use multiple gateways?

You might be thinking that it would just be simpler to only offer the cheapest payment gateways. Up to a point, that might be true. But there’s a good chance that you’ll miss out on sales if you don’t offer customers payment options that they’re familiar with.

For instance, although it’s expensive, PayPal is a really convenient option for many people to use for payment. They don’t need to find their credit card, they only need to click a button.

So having choice on your site can be to your benefit.

Why apply different charges according to the payment gateway used?

There are several reasons to apply different charges based on the payment gateway, including:

• Credit card providers usually charge you a percentage of each transaction. You can recoup this fee by adding the equivalent amount to the cost of the order and therefore passing the transactional fees from your bank on to your customer.
• PayPal charges you a fee on every transaction. You can add a flat fee or a percentage of the overall order total to recover this cost from the user.
• With PayPal and credit card gateways, you can often find that you are subject to disputes or chargebacks. The costs for these vary between gateway providers but by adding a small surcharge to users who check out through one of these gateways, you can provide a small insurance for yourself against future disputes.
• If you accept payment via BACS or bank transfer, you might be charged per transaction by your bank. You can add a small fixed fee to the cart to cover these bank charges.
• You can offer incentives to your customers to pay by your preferred payment gateway by applying a discount. For instance, if you would like to encourage users to pay via bank transfer, you can offer a fixed or percentage discount.

Which is better – fee or discount?

Should you cost your products at a lower price, then add an extra fee for certain payment gateways? Or should you build the fees into your product price, then offer a discount if the customer chooses a less expensive payment gateway?

This will depend on the type of business you’re running:

• Pricing products lower is always a good encouragement for customers; but seeing an extra fee imposed at checkout can be a cause of cart abandonment
• Having slightly more expensive products but a discount at checkout could be a pleasant surprise for customers

Using a WooCommerce plugin to apply fees and discounts based on payment gateway

However you decide to approach WooCommerce payment gateway based fees and discounts, you’ll need an extension to WooCommerce.

The WooCommerce payment gateway fees plugin that I’m using is WooCommerce Fees and Discounts.

WooCommerce Fees and Discounts

I’m going to provide a couple of different examples using this WooCommerce plugin to show how to apply fees and discounts, either as fixed amounts or percentages of the overall total.

Install WooCommerce Fees and Discounts

• Once you’ve downloaded the Fees and Discounts plugin, upload it to your WordPress admin via Plugins > Add New > Upload.
• Activate the plugin then go to WooCommerce > Settings > Fees and Discounts.
• Ensure that the ‘Enable Payment Gateway Fees and Discounts’ option is selected. You should see all the active payment gateways on your site available as clickable links below the main tabs.

You can set fees and discounts for each payment gateway separately.

How to add a fee to PayPal in WooCommerce

In this example, I’ll walk through charge to add a fixed fee to customers who check out via PayPal. But you can easily adapt this method to add a fee to any payment method.

• Click on the PayPal Checkout link
• In ‘Label’ enter the text that you’d like to use to denote the extra charge
• Choose ‘Fixed fee’ in the ‘Type’ dropdown
• Enter the amount of the fixed fee in the ‘Amount’ field
• Decide whether to include shipping costs in the cart total. (Note that this is mainly relevant if you’re charging a percentage rather than a fixed fee and/or if you are setting minimum or maximum values for the cart)
• In ‘Minimum cart amount’, you can enter a minimum total for the cart before any charges are applied.
• For ‘Maximum cart amount’, you can enter a maximum total for the cart above which no charges will be applied.
• Check ‘Apply tax’ if you would like tax to be applied to the extra charge
• Select the ‘Tax class’
• Click ‘Save changes’

When you choose ‘PayPal’ at the checkout, you’ll see an additional fee added to the totals:

How to apply a discount for certain payment gateways in WooCommerce

In this example, I’ll walk through applying a discount for customers who choose to pay via direct bank transfer. For the sake of the example, the discount will be calculated as a percentage of the overall order total.

• Click on the ‘Direct bank transfer’ link
• In ‘Label’ enter the text that you’d like to use to describe the discount
• Choose ‘Percentage discount’ in the ‘Type’ dropdown
• Enter the percentage in the ‘Amount’ field. In this example, we’ll give the customer a 1% discount for checking out via direct bank transfer.
• Decide whether to include shipping costs in the cart total.
• In ‘Minimum cart amount’, you can enter a minimum total for the cart before any charges are applied. In this example, we’ve set a minimum of 75 – meaning that the customer will need to spend 75 of whatever currency being used before they qualify for the discount
• For ‘Maximum cart amount’, you can enter a maximum total for the cart above which no charges will be applied.
• In ‘Minimum fee/discount amount’, you can enter a minimum value for the discount
• For ‘Maximum fee/discount amount’, you can set a maximum value for the discount. In this example, we’ve limited the discount to 5
• Check ‘Apply tax’ if you would like tax to be applied to the extra charge
• Select the ‘Tax class’
• Click ‘Save changes’

Now, when the user adds at least $75 worth of goods to the cart, they’ll qualify for 1% discount to a maximum of $5.

Programmatically apply fees and discounts in WooCommerce according to the payment gateway

If you prefer to create your own solution, here is some code to help with applying a fee at checkout based on payment gateway.

This function gets the selected payment gateway for the user’s session and checks to see if it’s PayPal. Note that I’m using the ‘PayPal Checkout’ gateway rather than the older, standard ‘PayPal’ checkout.

If the user has selected the payment gateway, use WC()->cart->add_fee to add the fee. There are four parameters: label, amount, is_taxable, tax_class.

Finally, the function is hooked to woocommerce_cart_calculate_fees so it runs whenever the cart calculates fees.

Now, we just need a small piece of JavaScript to detect when the payment gateway is changed by the user. This triggers the WooCommerce update_checkout event which, in turn, will re-trigger woocommerce_cart_calculate_fees.

Wrapping up

I hope this has been helpful in demonstrating a couple of different ways to add fees or discounts to the WooCommerce checkout. We looked at adding a fee to the WooCommerce payment method and we looked at ways to apply discounts depending on the gateway chosen.

To alleviate this challenge, we have curated a concise selection of the 12 most effective WooCommerce and WordPress plugins, which have been carefully chosen to boost sales and drive remarkable growth for your online business.

The top 12 WooCommerce plugins to drive sales

Every plugin in the list is different. So, rather than it being a case of which plugins are better, it’s important to think about what goals you are trying to achieve with your eCommerce site and which plugins will be the right fit for you.

Purchasing every single plugin in this list isn’t necessary, but you can keep referring back to this list for ideas and recommendations if you ever need to upgrade your WooCommerce store in the future.

It’s worth bearing in mind that while none of these plugins are comparable, we have placed some of the most feature-packed and effective plugins at the top of the list.

#1. WooCommerce Order Bump for up-sells, cross-sells, and product recommendations

The WooCommerce Order Bump plugin offers an all-in-one solution for displaying upsells, cross-sells, and product recommendations in a professional way.

This plugin provides a fantastic method for increasing sales as you can use it to display a modal popup at strategic points in the customer journey on your online store. For instance, display product recommendations popups on the cart and checkout page so customers can quickly add more items to their cart before checking out from your online store. This is a great way to recommend additional products such as related products and cross-sells to your shoppers in an interactive way. It also encourages customers to upgrade their orders with upsells before they submit the checkout form.

In addition to all of these features, WooCommerce Order Bump also lets you offer discounts on products displayed in the modal popup.

#2. WooCommerce Product Table Ultimate to improve the way you display products

One way to improve the shopping experience on your WooCommerce site is by using product tables. Product tables make browsing your online store much more efficient for customers, as shoppers can compare products easily and see more information about them without having to visit each product page.

The best way to implement this in WooCommerce is with a dedicated plugin like WooCommerce Product Table Ultimate.

While you have full control over which products will be displayed in the table, you can also add or remove columns from your product tables according to your requirements. You can manually add products, create tables based on categories or attributes, or include entire WooCommerce categories.

In addition to this, you can also add filtering and sorting options to make it easy for customers to find specific products they need. It not only helps speed up user flow on product pages but also encourages shoppers to spend more when shopping from your online store.

The WooCommerce Product Table Ultimate plugin also lets you override your entire WooCommerce shop pages with product tables. This makes it easy to transform an ordinary WooCommerce site into a professional online store within a few clicks.

#3. WooCommerce Fees and Discounts for dynamic pricing

One of the most effective ways for increasing sales on any WooCommerce site is by offering discounts and promotions. While there are limited options for setting up discounts in default WooCommerce, you can use a plugin like WooCommerce Fees and Discounts to extend the default WooCommerce functionally.

The WooCommerce Fees and Discounts plugin lets you create all types of discounts including bulk discounts, dynamic pricing discounts, role-based discounts, cart-based discounts, and even payment gateway-based discounts.

For example, you can set up a “Buy 3 to get 10% off “ promotion that encourages users to purchase more than one unit of a product so they can get a better price per piece. Similarly, you can set up a discount based on the total amount customers spend when shopping from your online store.

The discounts you create are displayed on the front-end of your site on single product pages, cart, and checkout pages.

This encourages more customers to shop from your online store and can help them make informed purchase decisions.

In addition to this, the WooCommerce Fees and Discounts plugin also lets you create tiered pricing tables and showcase them on your product pages.

This makes it easier for your customers to understand the dynamic pricing rules that you create and encourages them to take you up on the offers.

#4. WooCommerce Product Add-Ons Ultimate for offering extra options

There are many types of online stores that would benefit from adding extra options to configurable products including restaurants, electronics and gadgets stores, apparel stores, custom print shops, and even jewelry stores.

The best way to add extra product options is by using a dedicated product customizer like the WooCommerce Product Add-Ons Ultimate plugin.

With over 16 different add-on fields, you can use the robust plugin to customize your WooCommerce products in many ways. For instance, if you sell apparel products, you can offer personalization options using add-on fields.

You can add as many extra options as you need and upload an image to each option, set a custom label, and a price. This way, you can offer premium extra options to customers who are looking to spend more.

In addition to this, you can also create field groups to display different product options in different sections on the single product page.

For instance, you can offer a personalization options section and also add a “Packaging” field group section that lets customers choose how they want their order to be shipped.

This makes it easier to create professional-looking product pages that not only look good but are highly optimized for conversions.

#5. WooCommerce Minimum Maximum Quantity and Order for controlling order quantity

As an online store owner, you probably already know that it’s important to control order quantity on your online store. This is because there are some products that aren’t worth selling unless you’re moving multiple units at a time.

For example, there’s no point in selling a single roll of toilet paper as they are usually sold in pre-packaged 12-piece packs. Similarly, you might want to set the minimum order quantity for a product like eggs to 6 or 12 so you don’t end up receiving orders that are not possible to fulfill.

While there’s no way to set the minimum or maximum order quantity in WooCommerce, you can use a plugin like WooCommerce Minimum Maximum Quantity and Order to do this.

WooCommerce Minimum Maximum Quantity and Order

Maximise your store’s revenue by setting rules on quantity and values

Find Out More

The powerful plugin is designed to let you set exactly how many units can be sold at a time for any given product available on your online store. For instance, if you set the minimum order quantity for a product to 3, customers will only be able to add 3 or more items to their cart at once.

The plugin offers an easy interface to set the minimum or the maximum quantity that can be ordered for any product on your online store.

This way, when your customers click on the Add to Cart button on the front-end, only the order amount that’s set for the product will be added to their shopping carts.

Similarly, you can also create custom step increments for your WooCommerce products. For instance, customers can purchase t-shirts only in packs of 3, 6, and 12 only.

#6. MailPoet for CRM campaigns

MailPoet is a CRM plugin that works seamlessly and has deep integration with WooCommerce.

You can use MailPoet to essentially create a GDPR-friendly form and display it on the checkout page of your WooCommerce site. This way, you can collect the email addresses of your customers and start building your email list.

Once you have a solid email list, you can use the plugin to create automated email marketing campaigns that are designed to recover abandoned carts on your online store. You can design a custom cart abandonment recovery email using an intuitive email customizer that gives you full control over the styling options.

In addition to this, the plugin comes pre-built with analytics and performance tracking tools. This way, you can gauge the performance of your emails and see how much revenue you’ve generated per email.

#7. TrustPulse for social proof

TrustPulse is a social proof plugin that’s designed to let you send social proof messages to your customers in real-time.

This makes it easier to encourage more conversions to your online store. For instance, you can send messages that the item a user is interested in was recently purchased. It’s a great way to let customers know that your products are trusted by other customers and encourage them to complete their purchases.

In addition to this, TrustPulse also comes pre-built with features like real-time event tracking, flexible design options, and push notification customization options.

#8. MonsterInsights for store analytics

While analytics might not directly drive customers to complete their purchases, it’s an important part of any WooCommerce store since you can learn more about who is visiting your store, and see what stages of the customer journey need to be optimized.

MonsterInsights is one of the most popular eCommerce analytics tools that’s designed to let you track every aspect of your online store with ease.

This plugin, which has Google Analytics integration, lets you create an eCommerce report that gives you insight into your store’s best-selling products, top conversion sources, the time it takes your customers to make a purchase, the keywords your customers use to find your products, and even the country your customers are from.

With over 12 different notification bar positions to choose from, the options for customizing the shopping experience of your online store are limitless. You can easily grab the attention of your site visitors and let them know about important announcements.

#10. AffiliateWP for affiliate management

It’s pretty obvious that if you want to sell more products, you’ll have to increase their visibility. One way to do this is to showcase them on other websites through affiliate marketing.

This not only increases the chances of other people discovering your products but also helps boost sales and revenue for your business. Even though you have to pay a commission on every sale generated, it’s well worth it and helps with the long-term growth of your brand.

One of the best plugins for affiliate management on WooCommerce is the AffiliateWP plugin.

It uses an intuitive affiliate dashboard that makes it easier to manage everything including the total revenue generated, conversion rate, link visits, and unpaid affiliate earnings. This makes it easier to manage affiliates for your brand and helps create effective affiliate marketing strategies.

#11. WP WooCommerce Gift Cards

The WP WooCommerce Gift Cards plugin is a WooCommerce plugin that lets you sell virtual and physical gift cards on your online store.

This plugin offers a wide range of features for advanced coupons, such as the ability to set custom amounts on gift cards so customers don’t end up ordering too many or not enough for the order to be profitable for your business. You can also let customers select when the gift cards will be delivered to them. In addition to this, you can also include QR codes in the gift card email.

#12. Live Chat for helping customers in real time

Through dynamic pricing promotions on your online store, you can create and apply customized pricing rules and discounts based on specific conditions or triggers. For example, you can create a promotion where a customer will receive a 5% discount if they add at least 5 units of a product to their shopping cart.

These conditions can be set to respond to various factors such as customer behavior, cart content, purchase history, or other relevant parameters. With a dynamic pricing plugin for WooCommerce, you can configure promotions that are automatically activated when customers meet the predetermined conditions.

If you’re ready to create a more engaging and personalized shopping environment for your customers while optimizing your revenue and profit, read on! In this article, we are going to look at the top 5 dynamic plugins for WooCommerce that can help you supercharge your sales.

Why is dynamic pricing important for your WooCommerce store?

Let’s go over some of the major benefits of using dynamic pricing on your online store and look at the various types of promotions you can create using WooCommerce pricing plugins.

Benefits of dynamic pricing

There are many benefits of applying dynamic pricing promotions to your online store including:

• Increased competitiveness. Dynamic pricing allows you to respond to market changes more accurately and adjust the prices of your products accordingly. As a result, this can help your online store stay more competitive by offering lower prices when needed or capturing additional profit during high-demand periods.

• Improved revenue and profit optimization. Since dynamic pricing promotions allow you to set prices based on demand, it can be a great way to maximize revenue and profit for your business. For instance, you can raise prices during peak seasons or lower them during slower periods to attract more customers.

• Personalized pricing. You can also use dynamic pricing to create different prices for different user roles or customer segments. This means you can create pricing tiers or offer discounts based on customer loyalty, purchase history, locations, and other relevant factors.

• Inventory management. Another great benefit of using dynamic pricing is that it lets you effectively manage the inventory of your online store. For example, if you have excess stock of a specific product, you can quickly lower prices so it sells out. Similarly, if you have a product that is selling well and is popular on your online store, you can increase the price to prevent stockout and capitalize on its popularity.

Types of dynamic pricing promotions

With a dynamic pricing plugin, it’s possible to create multiple types of promotions on your WooCommerce site. Here are just a few examples of the most sought-after types of dynamic pricing promotions:

• Quantity discounts. You can offer reduced prices to customers who purchase multiple units of a product. For instance, if a customer purchases at least 20 units of a product, they will get a 5% discount on their order.

• Time-based promotions. You can create time-limited discounts or flash sales to create a sense of urgency and drive sales within a specific period. For instance, Black Friday discounts will only last for 24 or 48 hours.

• Tiered pricing. Tiering pricing can be used to offer multiple pricing tiers or pricing options for a product based on the quantity customers purchase. For example, the more units a customer purchases, the lower the price per unit they will get.

• Segment-based discounts. You can also create personalized discounts for specific customer segments. For instance, you can give first-time buyers, loyal customers, or newsletter subscribers a 10% off on their first order.

• Seasonal pricing. You can also use dynamic pricing to adjust product prices according to seasonal demands. For example, increase prices for winter clothing during the colder months and decrease prices before the summer seasons start to clear out old stock.

• Dynamic discounts. You can automatically apply discounts based on predefined rules or conditions on your WooCommerce site. For instance, offer a 5% discount on all products if the customer’s cart value exceeds a certain amount.

The top 5 dynamic pricing plugins for WooCommerce

We’ve carefully selected a range of popular dynamic pricing plugins for WooCommerce. We’ll go through each plugin one by one and look at the features and pros and cons of each, and then explain which our top choice is.

#1. WooCommerce Fees and Discounts

Introducing the WooCommerce Fees and Discounts plugin, your ultimate solution for dynamic pricing rules on your WooCommerce site. With this powerful tool, you can create a variety of pricing incentives to boost sales and enhance the shopping experience.

One of the standout features of the WooCommerce Fees and Discounts plugin is the ability to set up quantity and bulk discount promotions for your shoppers. By offering enticing discounts, you not only encourage customers to spend more but also create a more engaging online store.

Imagine setting up bulk discounts that reward customers with a percentage or fixed amount off their order when they purchase a certain quantity. For instance, when a customer buys 5 units of a product, they automatically receive a 10% discount. This clever strategy entices shoppers to add at least 5 units to their cart, ultimately increasing the average order value.

Similarly, you can create other types of dynamic pricing promotions such as quantity discounts on your online store using the plugin.

For instance, you can offer a “Buy One Get One Free” BOGO offer or “Buy Three and Get One at 50% Off” on any of your products.

Shoppers can simply add the specified quantity to their cart, and during checkout, they enjoy the discounted price for the designated item.

The WooCommerce Fees and Discounts plugin also lets you set up discounts based on specific product groups. For example, you can offer product “Y” as a gift when users purchase at least 10 units of product “X”.

This way when customers add the specific product and the minimum quantity eligible for discount, they will receive a 100% discount on the “Free” product.

You can also set up discounts based on the total value of the cart or the amount the shopper spends on your online store.

By setting up discounts based on the total value of the cart or the amount customers spend, you can motivate them to add more items or increase their order value to enjoy a discounted price per unit.

User role-based discounts and conditional pricing rules add another layer of personalization. You can offer exclusive discounts to registered members while regular customers pay the normal price. This tailored approach rewards loyal customers and fosters a sense of privilege.

For instance, you can offer a discount to registered members who have an account on your online store while regular customers will have to pay the normal price.

The powerful plugin also has features that let you set up discounts based on the payment gateways used.

By incentivizing customers to use your brand’s preferred gateways, you not only streamline the payment process but also encourage their loyalty.

The plugin’s versatility shines through the ability to apply dynamic pricing rules globally to all products, specific categories, or even individual products. This flexibility empowers you to create promotions that suit your specific business needs, offering a seamless shopping experience.

In addition to this, you can also make it easier for your customers to better understand the dynamic pricing rules being used on your online store. While you can add text to the pricing labels on the front-end of your promotions, you can also create tiered pricing tables and display them directly on the single product page.

The WooCommerce Fees and Discounts plugin isn’t just for setting up dynamic pricing promotions but for charging fees, as well. This is a big advantage for store owners who want to add fees to ensure that they don’t lose money on certain purchases.

For instance, if you offer multiple payment methods but one incurs higher transaction fees, you can add fees to the payment method to compensate for your loss.

This way, if shoppers decide to use the payment gateway with higher transaction fees, they will pay the difference themselves. Similarly, you might also want to charge extra fees for shipping heavier items like furniture or fragile items like glass jars or food products.

This way, if users purchase the heavier product, you can charge them a small fee that will compensate for the extra shipping costs associated with the shoppers’ order.

Bonus: Dynamically-priced products in product tables

As a bonus, you can leverage the power of product tables to showcase your dynamic pricing promotions. By using the WooCommerce Product Table Ultimate plugin in conjunction with the WooCommerce Fees and Discounts plugin, you can create highly customizable product tables that highlight items with attached discount promotions. This user-friendly layout empowers customers to browse your catalog, compare options, and conveniently add multiple products to their cart with custom quantities.

The WooCommerce Product Table Ultimate plugin lets you create highly customizable product tables that make it easy for shoppers to purchase multiple products at once.

For example, if all products in a specific category have the “Buy 5 to get 50% off” discount rule applied, you can only showcase products from this category in a product table layout anywhere on your WooCommerce site.

This way, your customers can view all product options with discount promotions and quickly add multiple products with custom quantities to their cart in a single click.

#5. WooCommerce Dynamic Pricing and Discounts by RightPress

WooCommerce Dynamic Pricing and Discounts by RightPress is a great dynamic pricing plugin for WooCommerce that lets you set up powerful discounts on your online store.

While the plugin lets you create most of the dynamic pricing rules already mentioned with other solutions, it also lets you create checkout fees. This way, you can charge fees that are applicable when users reach the checkout stage. For instance, if a user purchases heavy furniture items like sofas and beds, you can charge them extra to cover the additional shipping fees that will incur for your business.

What differentiates this plugin from the rest of the solutions mentioned is its deep conditional logic feature. This allows you to combine different product values and create complex dynamic pricing promotions on your WordPress site. For example, you can set up a $20 pack of three t-shirts but use conditional logic to remove t-shirt products with custom artwork from the promotional offer. Since custom artwork t-shirts will cost more, customers can only get the “discount deal” for regular or plain colored t-shirts.

Pros:

• Conditional logic features.
• Very intuitive to use, even for non-tech-savvy users.

Cons:

• The extra options can be overwhelming for new WooCommerce users.

In this article, we’ll take a look at six different ways to set multiple prices per product in WooCommerce.

But, before we begin, let’s step through some scenarios for when you might need to set WooCommerce multiple prices per product to put everything into context.

Why you might need to set WooCommerce multiple prices per product

By WooCommerce multiple prices per product, we simply mean assigning individual WooCommerce products different sales prices. The price that’s displayed on the front end depends on predefined rules or conditions.

Here are some reasons why store owners might need to set multiple prices per product in WooCommerce:

Reason #1: To sell to different types of customers

For example, you might sell your merchandise to members on your membership site at 10% off its regular price. This is a great way to incentivize visitors to become members.

Or, you could have different product prices displayed to retail customers and wholesale customers since wholesale customers typically buy in bulk.

Reason #2: To offer discounts on different types of products

You can set WooCommerce multiple prices per product to offer discounts. For example, if you want to offer discounts on a specific category of products in your store such as Sports Gear. You could simply define a rule to offer a 15% discount on all Sports Gear products for a limited time. This is a great way to attract new customers and boost sales.

Reason #3: To encourage customers to buy more

Setting WooCommerce multiple prices per product also lets you encourage customers to buy more from you. For example, you can set multiple prices to incentivize customers with bulk pricing marketing tactics.

There are several different ways to implement bulk pricing in WooCommerce. You can set up a tiered pricing model or volume-based pricing based on the types of products you’re selling.

Reason #4: To sell products with different product attributes

If you sell variable products through your online store (i.e. products with different attributes), you can set multiple prices per product to generate more revenue.

For example, if you sell t-shirts, you might sell Large or Extra Large sized t-shirts at a slightly higher price point than Small or Medium t-shirts. Similarly, if you sell tech products, you can charge more money for variations with better specifications.

Now that we have a better understanding of why you might consider setting WooCommerce multiple prices per product, let’s take a look at how you can implement this in your store.

6 different ways to set multiple prices per product in WooCommerce

Here, we’ll step through five different ways to set multiple prices per product in WooCommerce. You can implement one or more pricing tactics to increase conversions and grow your bottom line.

#1: Role-based pricing

WooCommerce role-based pricing lets you offer customers products at different prices based on their user role. For example, you can sell products to regular customers, wholesale buyers, and staff members at different price points.

Implementing role-based pricing in WooCommerce is incredibly easy. All you have to do is choose a pricing adjustment and set different prices for each user role that you’d like to offer discounts to. With the WooCommerce Fees and Discounts plugin, you can set different prices globally or for specific products.

Check out our article on WooCommerce user role pricing in 2 easy steps for step-by-step instructions.

Setting up role-based pricing lets you encourage customers to upgrade their subscriptions. And, as a result, you’re able to increase sales and generate more revenue.

Role-based pricing per product

If setting the same adjustment for all products depending on role (#1 above) isn’t what you’re looking for, you can also specify different prices for each product per role.

Just decide which roles you’d like to enable for role-based pricing. You’ll get additional price fields on each product – enter the role-based price for each product, or leave it blank to default to the standard product price.

#2: Tiered pricing

WooCommerce tiered pricing is a strategy that offers customers discounts based on the number of product units they purchase. This method may also be referred to as “WooCommerce different prices for different quantities”. For example, when you buy 0-10 units, each cost $10, and buying 10-20 units reduces each to $5, etc. This works well to encourage customers to buy larger quantities of a product, perfect if you are a wholesaler! 

Tiered pricing is not offered in WooCommerce by default, so you’ll need to define a price per unit within a range, and then you can use a plugin to create tiered pricing rules. With the WooCommerce Fees and Discounts plugin, store owners can easily set up different pricing tiers, including discounts for wholesale goods and bulk purchases, subscriptions or licenses, and discounts for photography packages, among others.

Here’s an example of what it looks like:

#3: Wholesale pricing

If you sell to both retail customers and wholesale customers, you can set up wholesale pricing on your store and offer several discount tiers based on quantity.

From a practical standpoint, this involves creating a multi-tiered wholesale store with a Wholesale user role that’s eligible for discounted rates. Using the WooCommerce Fees and Discounts plugin, you can set percentage-based or fixed discounts for your wholesale customers.

Check out our in-depth, step-by-step WooCommerce wholesale store guide for more information.

Offering wholesale pricing is a great way to incentivize wholesale customers to buy more. This way, you’re able to move stock faster and increase your average order value at the same time.

#4: Category-based discounts

Category-based discounts is a popular marketing strategy where you offer all products under a specific category at a discounted rate for a limited time. Store owners that sell seasonal products implement category-based discounts during end of season sales.

In terms of implementation, you can create a new category or edit an existing one to use for defining the discount rules. Once that’s done, simply assign the category to all relevant products and use WooCommerce Fees and Discounts to offer a category-based discount.

For more information, check out our WooCommerce category discount article to learn how to offer fixed or percentage discounts on specific WooCommerce categories.

Offering category-based discounts has several business benefits, too. It’s a great way to attract new customers, increase your average order value, and boost sales.

#5: Bulk pricing

Bulk pricing is all about offering customers a better price based on quantity. Put simply, you’re able to lower the price per unit product the more customers buy. This is one of the easiest and most effective ways to set WooCommerce multiple prices per product.

Using WooCommerce Fees and Discounts, you can create dynamic pricing rules and create discount tiers. Then, you can choose to offer bulk pricing for all products, products in a specific category, or individual products.

Our WooCommerce bulk discount guide covers step-by-step instructions for different ways to adjust prices according to the quantity ordered.

Bulk pricing discounts let you drive volume by reducing the unit cost for larger quantities and clear out old inventory quickly.

#6: Variable products

If you sell variable products in WooCommerce (i.e. products with attributes), you might consider setting WooCommerce multiple prices per product variation.

For this, you’ll need to first create a variable product and some product attributes such as size, color, or material. Then, populate product variations and set prices for individual variations.

Check out our complete guide on WooCommerce variable products for more information and instructions on how to set it up.

The benefits of selling variable products are two-fold: you can sell different variations of the same product at different price points while giving customers more options.

Setting up multiple prices for your WooCommerce products

WooCommerce is an incredibly flexible e-commerce plugin that allows you to set multiple prices per product in a variety of different ways. This is especially useful for store owners that want to execute marketing strategies to grow their bottom line.

To recap, you can set WooCommerce multiple prices per product in a variety of different ways including:

• Role-based pricing
• Wholesale pricing
• Category-based discounts
• Bulk pricing
• Variable products

Let’s take a look at how the WooCommerce Fees and Discounts plugin to can help you set multiple prices per product in WooCommerce today!

1. Install and activate the WooCommerce Fees and Discounts plugin. Enter your license key under WooCommerce > Settings > Fees and Discounts > License.

2. Enable the dynamic pricing option by ticking the “Enable Dynamic Pricing” box under WooCommerce > Settings > Fees and Discounts.

3. From here, you can create all kinds of pricing rules and add multiple prices to products. Let’s take a look at a few examples:

• If you want to apply bulk pricing, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Fees and Discounts > Dynamic Pricing and choose the “Bulk Pricing” offer type option. From here, enter a label and select which products to apply the rule to. You can also use the Roles text field to apply the rule for specific user roles and create tiered pricing levels using the Tiers section.
  
• Similarly, you can also set up User-Role based pricing. For this, go to the User Role Pricing link. Here, use the Adjustment dropdown menu to offer percentage or fixed discounts on specific user roles, or charge them extra fees. Once you’ve set the discount or fees using the Amount text field, you can choose to display role-based prices for variations using the Role Price Fields section.
  
• For tier-based pricing, set up bulk pricing and then add tiers to the pricing rules by clicking the “Add New Tier” button. From here, set the minimum and maximum quantity, adjustment type (e.g. percentage discount), amount, and label. You can choose to display the tiered pricing table on the product page by choosing the “Pricing Table” option under Dynamic Pricing. The table will automatically appear on the product page.

As an online store owner, your ultimate goal is for your customers to check out from your online store. However, if you don’t incentivize your customers to checkout or if your checkout experience is poor, then it can lead to lost sales and customer dissatisfaction.

In this article, we’re going to look at a range of checkout plugins that can help with your revenue goals. Our list includes plugins that are designed to improve the checkout page and other plugins that drive customers to complete the checkout process in different ways.

What are the benefits of using a checkout plugin?

There are many kinds of checkout plugins, so let’s look at the various purposes they serve and how they can benefit your store:

Some plugins will let you customise or improve the checkout page of your online store while others will help you drive customers to complete the checkout process. In addition to this, there are WooCommerce checkout plugins that can help you incentivise your customers to checkout with a bigger order than they would have otherwise. This improves the average order value and helps you generate more revenue for your business.

Ultimately, WooCommerce checkout plugins are designed to help you optimise the checkout process of your online store by improving the user experience. As a result, you’re able to increase conversions and meet your revenue goals.

It’s important to create an optimised checkout experience because a complicated checkout process can cause your customers to abandon their cart before making a purchase. Optimising the checkout process can reduce abandoned carts and deliver a better overall user experience.

Since WooCommerce checkout plugins will each do different things, we’ve listed a range of them below.

Depending on what functionality you’re trying to add to your WooCommerce site, you’ll find one or more plugins that can:

• Create coupons and discounts on products to encourage more shoppers to complete the checkout when shopping from your online store.
• Offer upsells and cross-sells during checkout that can help increase the average order value on your WooCommerce site.
• Some checkout plugins will also let you define the minimum/maximum quantity or value that customers can purchase before they checkout.
• Customise the fields on the checkout page of your online store to make it more tailored to your customer’s needs and the products you sell.
• Create a one-click or one-page checkout to speed up the user flow on your WooCommerce site.
• Let you offer final add-ons or extra options to customers directly on the checkout page. This lets them add more services to their order right before they check out.

The top 12 checkout plugins for WooCommerce in 2023

Here, we’ll go over the top 12 checkout plugins that are designed for different purposes. This way, you can choose the right WooCommerce checkout plugin for your needs.

#1. WooCommerce Fees and Discounts

The WooCommerce Fees and Discounts plugin is designed to help you create powerful pricing rules for your online store.

Once you install the plugin on your site, you can create unlimited pricing rules to encourage more purchases. For example, you can set up bulk pricing for specific products that lets shoppers get a better price per unit if they buy in larger quantities. The discounted pricing encourages customers to complete the checkout process and is also a great way to increase the average order value on your online store.

Let’s say you create a Buy 10 get 1 free discount or offer a more complex pricing incentive like Buy One Get One Free (BOGOF). This encourages shoppers to add more products to their shopping cart and quickly checkout from your WooCommerce site.

The WooCommerce Fees and Discounts plugin also lets you display the product’s pricing tiers directly on the product page. This way, customers can view the discounts applied to their orders in the cart and checkout pages. This step is crucial because it means that customers will be motivated by the pricing rules from the start to the end of their shopping experience.

In addition to this, the robust plugin also lets you create discounts or charge fees based on the payment gateway shoppers select during the checkout process. This is a great way to incentivise customers to use specific payment methods that incur less processing fees for your business and ultimately result in higher profit margins.

#2. WooCommerce Order Bump

The WooCommerce Order Bump plugin helps you optimise the way you display related products, up-sells, and cross-sells in your store. Whereas by default you can only display related products and up-sells on product pages, and cross-sells in cart pages, the plugin lets you display all kinds of recommended products on product pages, the cart page, and checkout page.

These recommended products are displayed in customisable modal pop-ups. You have the option to choose which products will be displayed to customers when they visit a specific page on your WooCommerce site. As per the example below, instead of sticking to the default method of displaying related products below the actual product, you can trigger a relevant modal pop-up after the customer has added an item to their cart.

Since you have control over where to display related products, up-sells, and cross-sells, you can experiment with different strategies for showing recommended products, and see what works best to increase your customers’ average order value. You may find that showing cross-sells on the product page and related products on the checkout page is the best approach for your store, for example.

#3. WooCommerce Minimum Maximum Quantity and Order

WooCommerce Minimum Maximum Quantity and Order is a plugin dedicated to setting up minimum and maximum quantity and order value rules on your online store.

WooCommerce Minimum Maximum Quantity and Order

Maximise your store’s revenue by setting rules on quantity and values

Find Out More

This plugin lets you increase your online store’s revenue by creating rules on the minimum and maximum quantities and values of items your customers can purchase. For example, your customers will need to buy a minimum of 10 chocolate bars before they can checkout. Any less than the specified minimum amount and they won’t be able to checkout with their order from your online store. Similarly, you can also assign a minimum or maximum order value, for example, customers need a minimum value of $300 in the cart before checking out.

In addition to this, the plugin also lets you sell products in multiples or bulk only. For instance, you can sell “Packs of t-shirts” instead of letting customers select quantities. This way, shoppers can either purchase 1 t-shirt, 5 t-shirts, or 10 t-shirts only. This can also come in handy for selling products that come pre-packaged in bundles such as a pack of toilet paper or a case of wine bottles.

The WooCommerce Minimum Maximum Quantity and Order plugin does a great job of making the shopping experience on your online store much easier to navigate for your customers. As a result, this can reduce the time it takes shoppers to get to the checkout page when shopping from your online store.

Using the robust plugin, you can display product quantities in dropdown lists that make it easier for customers to select how many items they need quickly.

You can also customise labels and create custom error messages to ensure your customers are fully aware of why they’re not able to order products in a specific quantity or why they’re not allowed to check out from your online store just yet. These helpful error messages make it easier for customers to quickly adjust their cart accordingly and checkout from your online store.

Customers can also adjust quantities directly from the cart page. This allows them to make their final changes without having to go back to the single product pages.

#4. Checkout Manager for WooCommerce

The Checkout Manager for WooCommerce plugin lets you customise the checkout fields on your online store.

The intuitive plugin makes it easy to add custom fields to the checkout page of your online store. This allows you to gather information from customers and showcase additional options that customers can select during the checkout process. For instance, you can let customers pay extra for “Gift Wrapping” their order before sending it out.

It also lets you edit the default WooCommerce checkout fields and customise them according to your online store’s unique requirements. Checkout Manager for WooCommerce comes with conditional logic functionality that you can use to show or hide fields depending on other field values to create a more interactive experience on your online store. This also removes unnecessary clutter from the checkout page and enhances the checkout flow of your WooCommerce site.

In addition to this, you can also use the free version of the plugin if you’re not willing to pay just yet. Though it’s quite limited as compared to the premium plugin, it lets you improve the checkout experience on your WooCommerce site to some extent without paying a penny.

#5. WooCommerce Checkout Add-Ons

WooCommerce Checkout Add-Ons is another checkout plugin that lets you customise fields on the checkout page of your online store.

The plugin lets you create custom field types and display them anywhere on the checkout page of your WooCommerce site. For instance, you can create checkbox fields that let customers add tips to their orders or opt for gift wrapping. This is a great way to enhance the shopping experience on your online store and gives your WooCommerce site a professional look and feel.

While the plugin doesn’t support inventory management, it lets you offer conditional add-ons and set up upsell offers on the checkout page. You can even assign fixed amounts or percentage-based costs to the additional fields you add to the checkout page.

#6. Bolt Checkout for WooCommerce

Bolt Checkout for WooCommerce is a free-to-use checkout plugin that lets you create an optimised checkout experience on your online store.

Store owners can speed up and optimise the checkout experience for customers in a single click. The main benefit of the plugin is that it implements an intelligent fraud detection system on your checkout page. As a result, you can ensure customers’ payments are much more secure.

#7. WooCommerce One Page Checkout

WooCommerce One Page Checkout is the official extension from WooCommerce that lets you create a single-page checkout experience on your online store.

The plugin is designed to let you create a shopping and checkout experience on your WooCommerce site that lets customers checkout directly from product pages. For instance, you can create a product page that has product selection fields as well as checkout fields. This way, shoppers can make purchases from your online store quickly without having to navigate through multiple pages.

In addition to this, customers can make changes to their cart items and complete their payments from the same page which encourages more purchases and reduces cart abandonment rates on your WooCommerce site.

#8. YITH WooCommerce One Click Checkout

YITH WooCommerce One Click Checkout is another popular one-click checkout plugin that’s designed to help you transform the checkout experience on your online store.

While the plugin’s primary function is to let customers checkout directly from the product page, it gives you more control over the customisation of the one-click checkout button. This way, you can choose design and layout settings that match your brand’s unique aesthetics.

In addition to this, the plugin also implements certain safety protocols that help create a more secure shopping experience on your online store. For instance, you can choose to hide or display the one-click checkout button for non-logged-in users or show it to users only after their first purchase. It’s the perfect solution for brands that want to create a secure one-page checkout for returning shoppers to quickly checkout with their order without having to go through multiple pages.

#9. CheckoutWC

CheckoutWC is a professional all-in-one checkout plugin for WooCommerce sites.

The plugin comes with a wide range of checkout features such as pre-designed checkout page templates, a built-in side cart or floating cart, and express checkout functionality. It even lets you display order bumps on the checkout page of your online store. This gives you all the functionality you need to create a professional and optimised checkout experience on your brand’s online store.

CheckoutWC is best suited for bigger businesses that need all of these features on their WooCommerce sites.

#10. FOX Currency Switcher

FOX Currency Switcher is a free-to-use tool that lets you display a responsive currency switcher on the front end of your WooCommerce site.

This helps improve the customer experience on your eCommerce store and allows shoppers to easily view product prices in the currency that’s relevant to them. While this is a great way to let shoppers view the prices of products in different currencies in real-time, it’s also useful for letting customers select and pay in their preferred currency at the checkout stage.

#11. WooCommerce Direct Checkout

WooCommerce Direct Checkout is another checkout plugin worth mentioning due to its simplicity and ease of use.

The plugin lets you create a one-page checkout on your WooCommerce site without having to touch a single line of code. You can direct customers to the checkout page from product pages or let them complete the checkout process directly from the single product pages.

While it’s similar to other checkout plugins we’ve compared earlier, it can be a solid option if you’re looking to experiment with different checkout processes and see what works best for your WooCommerce site.

#12. Checkout Field Editor

Checkout Field Editor is another official WooCommerce extension that lets you customise the default WooCommerce checkout fields.

The plugin works well for adding or removing custom fields or editing the default ones from your checkout page. It’s a good solution for brands that only prefer to stick with official WooCommerce extensions, though there’s no real reason to do that.

In addition to this, the plugin is quite simple for what it’s priced at and this is why we’ve placed it below other similar checkout field editor plugins in our list.

Which checkout plugins should you start with?

We’ve looked at many kinds of checkout plugins, all of which are good and designed to serve different purposes. In addition to using plugins to customise the checkout experience itself, we think it’s equally important to use WooCommerce checkout plugins that create a better shopping experience overall on your online store. This way, you can encourage more customers to get to the checkout stage and complete their purchases.

You want to use checkout plugins that also allow you to customise various aspects of your online store and not just the checkout page. It gives you more bang for your buck and allows you to create a better user experience on your WooCommerce site overall.

We recommend using these three plugins for optimising the overall customer experience on your online store:

• WooCommerce Fees and Discounts. This plugin lets you offer discounts on products to motivate shoppers to make purchases and lets you add discounts or fees to specific payment gateways to incentivise customers to use the ones that yield your business higher profit margins.

• WooCommerce Order Bump. Using this intuitive solution, it’s possible to offer cross-sells, upsells, and related products directly on the checkout page as well as single product pages and cart pages on your online store.

• WooCommerce Minimum Maximum Quantity and Order. This plugin is the perfect solution for brands that want their customers to choose from predefined minimum and maximum quantities and values when making purchases. This makes it easier for shoppers to quickly select their desired quantities or values, thereby speeding up the shopping process.

As a WooCommerce store owner, you might want to create dynamic pricing rules for your online store. These usually take the form of discounts, such as “Buy One Get One Free”, or “Buy 5 items and get 15% off”. This way, you encourage shoppers on your online store to spend more or add more items to their cart.

These rules are essentially a great way to increase sales, the average order value, and customer loyalty for your brand. However, you need to clearly display these pricing rules so that your customers will understand the deal they can get in your store, and this way, you’ll encourage them to increase their order.

In this article, we’re going to look at a few of the best tiered pricing table plugins for WooCommerce so you can choose the right one for your eCommerce store.

The top 5 plugins to display tiered pricing tables in WooCommerce

Let’s dive deeper into the top 5 solutions that can help you display tiered pricing tables on your WordPress site.

#1. WooCommerce Fees and Discounts

WooCommerce Fees and Discounts offers an all-in-one solution for setting up fees and discounts on your online store and showcasing a tiered pricing table with your products.

While most plugins only let you create and display pricing rules for discounts, this particular plugin stands out because it also lets automatically set fees when customers hit certain conditions, such as if they use a payment provider that has a higher processing fee or if their cart hits a certain weight. This makes the plugin a fantastic solution for improving the customer experience in your store. By seeing these fees laid out before they checkout, customers can choose to decrease the items in their cart or choose an alternative payment method.

Let’s look at some of the different pricing rules you can set with WooCommerce Fees and Discounts. Many of the discount rules we include here can be displayed as pricing tables on product pages or elsewhere in your store.

Bulk discounts

You can set up bulk discounts by entering either a percentage discount or a fixed amount discount. For example, you can offer shoppers 10% off if they buy at least 5 t-shirts or give them £5 off if they purchase at least 2 t-shirts. The discounts are also applied to variable products.

Let’s say you have a lot of old stock sitting, and you want to clear out your inventory. You can create a bulk pricing rule that encourages users on your WooCommerce site to add more items to their shopping cart before proceeding to checkout. Similarly, these rules also work great if you’re a wholesaler and want to encourage regular bulk purchases from your clients.

Dynamic pricing rules

The plugin also works great for setting up complex dynamic pricing rules such as “Buy One Get One Free”, or “Buy product x and get product y for free”. The plugin gives you full control over customizing and setting up these dynamic pricing rules however you’d like.

Complex pricing rules can also be useful when running a launch campaign for a new product on your WooCommerce site. For instance, if you’re launching a new “Laptop” product, you can apply discounts on related products such as laptop accessories or software keys.

Cart discounts and fees

WooCommerce Fees and Discounts also lets you set up discounts according to the total value of your customer’s cart. This essentially means you can offer customers free shipping or discounts if they spend over a certain amount. For example, you can offer discounts or free shipping on all orders above £100 or offer 2% off if customers’ cart value is above £50.

Additionally, you can also charge your customers extra if their order exceeds a certain weight to account for the extra shipping costs.

The WooCommerce Fees and Discounts plugin lets you set up these pricing rules on your WooCommerce store either globally, or set up rules for specific categories or individual products from your catalogue. This works great for many scenarios and is suitable for most types of online stores.

Displaying these rules in a pricing table

The great thing about WooCommerce Fees and Discounts is that it lets you showcase these complex pricing rules as tables on individual product pages of your online store.

For instance, when a customer visits a product page, they will see that they can get a 5% discount if they add at least 3 items to their cart, a 10% discount if they add 6 items, and a 15% discount if they purchase 10 or more items. This makes it easy for your customers to understand what discounts and fees apply when shopping from your online store.

The WooCommerce Fees and Discounts plugin makes it very easy to customise these attractive-looking pricing tables by adjusting a few values.

If you set the County by field to Product, the cart will show a strikethrough in the product’s original price and display the discounted price per line item.

The Min Quantity field lets you specify the minimum number of items a customer has to add to quality for the pricing tier. Similarly, the Max Quantity field lets you specify the maximum number of items a customer can purchase before they upgrade to the next pricing tier. In this way, you can easily set discounts for quantity ranges.

Using the Adjustment dropdown menu, you can select the type of discount or fee based on a percentage or a fixed amount. Then, you can use the Amount field to specify the discount for your pricing tier. In addition to this, the Label field lets you set custom labels or send custom messages to customers as a way to keep them informed about the pricing tiers.

Your customers can easily view the applied discounts in their shopping cart after they’ve added the items they’d like to purchase. This encourages shoppers to check out quickly and helps reduce cart abandonment on your online store.

#2. Tiered Pricing Table for WooCommerce

Tiered Pricing Table for WooCommerce offers a professional solution that’s designed to help you set up dynamic pricing for your WooCommerce products.

The powerful plugin does a great job at letting you easily set up discount rules on your WooCommerce site and display them in a table-style layout. However, it doesn’t work well if you want to create rules for additional fees like charging customers extra for shipping if their order exceeds a certain weight. This makes it less versatile than our top option, the WooCommerce Fees and Discounts plugin.

#3. ELEX WooCommerce Dynamic Pricing and Discounts Plugin

ELEX WooCommerce Dynamic Pricing and Discounts is a pricing table plugin with various options for setting up discounts on your products. You can set up basic pricing rules for individual products or all products in a certain category, but it’s also possible to create discounts by weight, although that’s not a pricing scenario you would want to implement globally.

This plugin lets you display a pricing table on your individual product pages to keep them informed about ongoing discounts in your store.

#4. B2BKing

B2BKing is a dynamic pricing plugin with a lot of features included. On one hand, this can be a good thing, especially if you run a store with a lot of products and need the extra functionality. On the other hand, if you don’t need all those features, you’ll find the plugin is too expensive, and could even slow down your online store by adding too much bloat.

Setting up dynamic pricing rules is quite easy with this plugin as you can simply import tiered pricing rules and display them on the front-end of your WooCommerce store, but ultimately we don’t think this is the best fit for a store owner who just wants to set up dynamic pricing rules and display tiered pricing tables.

B2BKing lets you set up dynamic pricing rules as well as display tiered pricing tables on your online store. You can also import tiered pricing rules and showcase those on the frontend of your WooCommerce site.

#5. Dynamic Pricing and Pricing Rules

Dynamic Pricing and Pricing Rules is another reputable pricing table plugin that offers an intuitive solution for setting up dynamic pricing discounts on your online store as well as neatly displaying them.

You can set up discounts based on user role, minimum order amount, per product category, or even within a date range. Although you can set up dynamic pricing rules, this plugin works best for showcasing quantity-based discounts on tiered pricing tables.

Our #1 tiered pricing table plugin: WooCommerce Fees and Discounts

We’ve mentioned a few WooCommerce tiered pricing table plugin options that let you set up and showcase dynamic pricing rules in your online store, but our top pick is WooCommerce Fees and Discounts.

This plugin gives you all the functionality you need to create discounts and dynamic pricing rules in your store, as well as display them in pricing tables on product pages, which encourages customers to increase their average order value to benefit from these offers. However, you can also set up pricing rules around fees as well, which most plugins don’t allow for. This gives you an advantage as a store owner as it helps reduce impact around things like higher processing fees for certain payment providers.

The post ​​The best WooCommerce tiered pricing table plugins in 2023 appeared first on Plugin Republic.

Pricing tables are a great way to showcase your products and their prices in an organised and easy-to-understand manner. They help increase conversions, improve customer experience, and simplify the process of buying from your store.

There are many pricing table plugins out there that let you do this on your WordPress website. In this post, we’re going to look at the top 8 plugins to help you decide on the right plugin for your needs.

Why should you use a pricing table for WooCommerce?

WooCommerce, by default, is quite limited in terms of how you can display products as well as product prices on your online store. If customers want to see an overview of all your products, they’ll have to go to your shop’s main pages, and then they’ll have to open each product page if they want to learn more about a specific item. This isn’t ideal, as it can slow down the slowing process and make your eCommerce store harder to navigate.

Pricing tables resolve this issue as they make products and pricing information easier to find and more presentable for your customers. There are different kinds of pricing tables, and no plugin will do everything, so it’s worth thinking about what kind of functionality you’re looking to add to your store.

Some pricing table plugins will let you display all your products in a table, making it easier for customers to compare their features and prices on one page. Other pricing tables offer a column-based pricing table, which is good for comparing a small number of items, especially for pricing tiers and subscription-based products. Some plugins will let you set up any complex pricing rules that you may have set up in your store, so customers will know if there are any discounts they can take advantage of.

Let’s compare these different options in more depth: 

Display multiple products in a product table

One of the best ways to increase product visibility on your online store is by displaying multiple items in a sortable product table. This makes it easier for your customers to view your product catalogue and add multiple products to their cart without having to navigate to the corresponding single product pages.

This is a neat way to organise products on your WooCommerce site so it’s easier for your customers to compare, sort, and filter products, which speeds up the buying process!

Create complex pricing rules and display them in a table

By default, WooCommerce does not let you create and display pricing rules on your online store. However, depending on the pricing plugin you use, you can create complex pricing rules and display them in a table on your product pages.

For instance, you can create dynamic pricing rules such as “Buy one get one free” or “Buy 3 items and get 10% off”. This way, users will be incentivised to add more products to their shopping cart which, in return, helps generate more profits as well as clear out old stock.

For this use case, you’ll need a plugin that can generate a pricing table that can be displayed on single product pages so your customers can easily understand how the complex pricing rules work.

Display a pricing structure for product plans

If you run a membership site or sell products with different tiers (such as software or a plugin), you’ll need to use a pricing table plugin to display an overview of the different prices and features associated with each plan.

The top 8 pricing table plugins for WooCommerce

Let’s take a look at the top 8 pricing table plugins for WooCommerce.

#1. WooCommerce Product Table Ultimate

WooCommerce Product Table Ultimate offers the best solution if you want to display multiple products in a sortable table on your online store.

The plugin comes prebuilt with all the functionality you need to showcase products in a sortable table-style layout anywhere on your WooCommerce site.

You can use the plugin to automatically override the default shop pages and display product tables on them without having to put in much manual effort.

This way, you can transform your shop’s default pages within a few clicks and make it easier for customers to navigate through multiple products and quickly select the ones they’re interested in. You can also display a product table anywhere on your site using a shortcode or Gutenberg blocks.

For instance, you can list some of your most popular or top-selling products in a product table and display them anywhere on your WooCommerce site.

WooCommerce Product Table Ultimate gives you full control over how many products you want to display in a single product table.

While it lets you display all your shop’s products (including variable products) in a product table, you can also display products from a specific category or tag, or display individual or specific products from your catalog in a product table.

For instance, if you run an apparel store, you can display all “Hoodies” products in a product table so it’s easier for your customers to browse through all product options.

The WooCommerce Product Table Ultimate plugin also lets you add filtering and sorting options to your product tables.

You can specify the sortable and filterable columns when designing your product table and choose whether to display them in dropdowns or clickable terms.

This helps your customers quickly find products that are relevant to them when shopping from your WooCommerce site. For instance, shoppers can find products in a certain price range or find products that are a specific colour.

In addition to this, you can also enable the “Add to cart” button on every single row in your product table.

This will display a checkbox next to each product row so customers can select, add multiple items from the product table at once to their shopping cart, and proceed to checkout. It will look something like this on the front-end:

The WooCommerce Product Table Ultimate plugin is the perfect solution for businesses that want to display their products in a better way.

Let’s say you run a wholesale store. You can replace the shop page with a product table that lists all your products in a sortable layout. This will make it easier for your clients to quickly place bulk orders from your WooCommerce site.

The plugin also works great if you run an online restaurant and want to use your main shop page as an online ordering system. You can showcase all menu items in product tables to speed up the ordering process for your online restaurant.

Similarly, if you own an online music store, you can create product tables for your vinyl by category. For instance, you can list all “Rock” vinyl in one product table and all “Jazz” vinyl in another.

The WooCommerce Product Table Ultimate plugin also works great if you run an online apparel store. You can display products on sale or your shop’s most popular products in a product table on your homepage.

#2. WooCommerce Fees and Discounts

WooCommerce Fees and Discounts is a user-friendly pricing plugin that lets you create dynamic pricing rules for your WooCommerce site.

You can create complex pricing rules such as “Buy One Get One Free” or “Buy Two laptops and get a free smartphone” to encourage shoppers on your site to spend more. This way, customers will get a better price per unit or receive a free gift if they purchase more or add more items to their cart.

The great thing about WooCommerce Fees and Discounts is that it lets you display pricing tables on your WooCommerce site. This way, you can keep your customers informed about the dynamic pricing rules and make it easier for them to follow them.

You can configure the pricing table display using the plugin’s settings and specify where to place it on your product pages.

This way, when customers go to the product page to purchase a t-shirt, they will see that they can buy 1 t-shirt at the normal price, 3 t-shirts at a 5% discount, and 6 t-shirts to receive a 10% discount.

#3. Storefront Pricing Tables

Storefront Pricing Tables is a simple pricing table plugin designed to help you display pricing tables in a column format on your WooCommerce site.

The plugin works great if you offer membership plans or complex products on your WooCommerce site where you need to explain the differences comparatively. The plugin works great if you want to compare a small number of products (such as three or four), but the tiered pricing table won’t look as good if you need to showcase lots of products in this format. 

#4. WooCommerce Product Pricing Table

WooCommerce Product Pricing Table is a pricing table for WooCommerce plugin that lets you compare a small number of products on your online store.

You can create pricing tables with unlimited rows and columns so you can show all relevant details of your product in the pricing table. The best part is that the plugin comes with pre-designed templates that make it easier to quickly set up pricing tables on your WooCommerce site without having to put in a lot of work.

#5. WP Table Builder

WP Table Builder offers a simple yet effective solution for displaying products in product tables. While you can create product tables and list your shop’s products in a better layout than what you get with default WooCommerce, it is still limited in terms of the elements you can add to your product table. Compared to a similar option, like the WooCommerce Product Table Ultimate plugin, you have much fewer options to design your product tables.

Additionally, you can use WP Table Builder to import and export product tables on your WooCommerce site, which is very convenient.

#6. JetElements

JetElements is a widget pack that extends the Elementor page builder and it comes with a highly customisable pricing table widget.

The pricing table widget is designed to help you display pricing tiers rather than multiple products. In addition to this, it’s highly customisable and looks great on modern-looking sites. If you use Elementor to create your site, then this is a great option. However, if you use another page builder, or simply prefer Gutenberg, then you’ll probably want to avoid this one. 

#7. WooCommerce Pricing Table Plugin

WooCommerce Pricing Table Plugin is a popular, free, and intuitive extension that’s designed to help you display tiered pricing or compare a small number of products on your online store.

While the simple plugin works great for showcasing a small number of products or for displaying the different pricing tiers on your shop’s pages, it isn’t designed to do complex things like displaying multiple products in a table layout. For this, you will have to resort to an alternative solution like the WooCommerce Product Table Ultimate plugin.

#8. Pricing Table by Supystic

Pricing Table by Supystic is a free-to-use pricing table plugin that lets you showcase simple-looking pricing tables without having to touch a single line of code.

You can create various types of pricing tables with an easy-to-use drag-and-drop builder, which is great if you’re not very experienced with coding. However, the plugin’s reviews are mixed, and it seems that the plugin doesn’t work for some people or causes bugs on their online store.

Improve your WooCommerce store with pricing tables

We’ve seen in this article that there are different kinds of pricing tables. The pricing table plugin you choose will depend on what you want to achieve in your WooCommerce store. However, we think that one of the most versatile ways of displaying prices on your online store is to place them on a product table. This is exactly why WooCommerce Product Table Ultimate is our top pick.

The WooCommerce Product Table Ultimate offers store owners all the functionality they need to list products in a sortable and filterable product table. This makes it easier for customers to browse through your catalog and quickly find the products they’re interested in. As a result, it helps speed up the buying process on your online store and encourages more sales.

If you’re looking to create dynamic pricing rules and display them in a table on your shop’s pages, then the WooCommerce Fees and Discounts plugin is another plugin worth considering.

The best part is that both WooCommerce Product Table Ultimate and WooCommerce Fees and Discounts integrate perfectly to create a conversion-optimized shopping experience on your WooCommerce site. You can create dynamic pricing rules and let shoppers purchase multiple items without having to navigate multiple product pages.

Bulk discounts offer numerous benefits to eCommerce store owners and can help boost sales. You can encourage customers to spend more by offering discounts on bulk purchases. This helps increase customer loyalty and encourages repeat purchases. It’s ideal for wholesalers, retailers, or online stores that want to sell products in larger quantities.

Using a WooCommerce plugin, you can set bulk pricing rules so your customers always benefit from discounts when shopping from your online store. You’re not limited to manually lowering prices whenever you want to run a sale.

In this article, we’ll look at the top 8 bulk discount plugins for WooCommerce.

Why should you offer bulk discounts in your store?

Let’s talk about some of the major reasons why store owners might want to offer bulk discounts to customers.

Drive volume

By offering bulk discounts on your online store, you’re essentially offering your customers the option to get a better price if they add more products to their cart. As a result, this helps drive more volume as customers are likely to increase their order size for a better discount.

Bring in new customers

A sale or deal encourages more people to shop from your online store. Offering bulk discounts on your WooCommerce site can help bring in new customers that want to pay a lower price or are looking to purchase products in bulk online.

Encourage repeat customers

Since bulk discounts don’t require customers to enter a coupon code and are automatically applied once customers add the required quantity, it encourages repeat customers.

Customers who have previously benefited from the discount can do it the next time they shop from your online store without having to look for coupon codes.

Increase customer satisfaction

Offering bulk discounts not only helps drive more volume but is a great way to increase customer satisfaction on your WooCommerce site. Customers love knowing they got the best price by shopping from your online store.

Clear old stock

Bulk discount strategies are designed to encourage shoppers to purchase more volume of a product at a lower rate per unit. This helps store owners clear out old inventory or stock, especially if they sell seasonal products or products with a shorter expiry date.

Tap into new markets

If you’re offering discounts on bulk purchases on your WooCommerce site, you can set yourself apart from other online stores. It’s a great way to enter new markets and make a name for your brand.

Fill capacity

Depending on the products you sell and their production cost, bulk discounts can help you fill more capacity and order goods in larger quantities. This is a more cost-effective and effective way to reduce warehouse storage costs.

Why do you need a WooCommerce bulk discount plugin?

WooCommerce doesn’t come with pre-built functionality that lets you set up bulk discount pricing rules on your online store.

You can bulk edit products in WooCommerce and manually decrease or increase the price of multiple products by a percentage discount. While this works great for changing the default price of products on your online store, this solution is not ideal for a number of reasons.

For starters, you have to manually edit product pricing every time you want to offer a discount on your online store. This means, if you want to offer a sale, you will first have to decrease the prices of products and then change them back to regular prices once the sale is over.

If you do it this way, customers won’t be able to take advantage of bulk discounts every time they shop from your online store, only during sale periods.

Furthermore, default WooCommerce doesn’t let you set dynamic pricing rules like BOGOF or buy 2 get 1 free. This is essential for encouraging shoppers to spend more on your WooCommerce site.

In addition to this, the bulk editing in default WooCommerce only works on simple products, not grouped products or variable products.

The top 8 bulk discount plugins for WooCommerce

Here, we’ll dive deeper into the best 8 WooCommerce bulk discount plugins.

#1. WooCommerce Fees and Discounts

WooCommerce Fees and Discounts is a powerful plugin that comes with all the features you need to create all kinds of pricing incentives on your WooCommerce site.

WooCommerce Fees and Discounts

Create powerful pricing incentives quickly and easily

Find Out More

For starters, you can apply bulk discounts by a fixed amount or a percentage on your online store.

For instance, you can trigger a bulk discount that is applied only when a customer buys at least 5 units of an item. You can set this discount to be 5% cheaper per unit or set a fixed discount amount like “£2”.

When shoppers add the required quantity to their cart, the quantity-based discount will automatically be applied and the discounted price will be displayed on the product page, as well.

WooCommerce Fees and Discounts lets you set discount rules on specific products, categories, or your entire online store. This makes the plugin really flexible and suitable for all types of online stores.

For example, you can set bulk discounts for products in your “Tshirts” category only.

This way, you can clear out old stock by offering bulk discounts on products within a specific category on your WooCommerce site.

Additionally, the plugin also lets you create multiple pricing tiers to incentivise shoppers on your online store to buy more items.

For instance, you can offer a 5% discount if shoppers purchase 5 items and a 10% discount if they purchase 8 or more items. You can also choose to display pricing tiers in a table right below or above the “Add to cart” button on your single product pages.

This is a great way to encourage customers to spend more when shopping from your online store. It also offers an easy way to display discount information to shoppers in an easy-to-read layout.

The WooCommerce Fees and Discounts plugin also lets you create advanced dynamic pricing rules such as “Buy one get one free” or “Buy product x and get product y for free”.

You can create a dynamic pricing rule such as “Buy 3 get 1 free” to encourage shoppers to purchase more.

This way, when customers add at least 3 products to their cart, the 4th item they add will be 100% free and the discount will be displayed in the cart.

Alternatively, you can also create dynamic pricing rules such as “Buy 2 trousers to get a free belt”.

This encourages customers to spend more than they had planned in order to get a “Free” gift from you.

After customers add the required quantity to their cart, they can purchase the other product for free when shopping from your online store.

The plugin also lets you set a discount based on the cart total rather than the number of items in the shopper’s cart.

This way, if a customer exceeds the value, they will receive a discount on their entire order.

This is a great option if you sell a range of low-cost and expensive items on your WooCommerce site. This might be useful to stores that sell designer trousers as well as accessories such as caps, belts, and cuff links.

The WooCommerce Fees and Discounts plugin also lets you set bulk pricing rules based on user roles. This comes in handy if you’re a wholesaler that wants to encourage shoppers to make an account on your online store and benefit from bulk discounts. In addition to this, this is a great way to encourage shoppers to visit your online store again and make repeat purchases.

#2. Bulk Discounts for WooCommerce

Bulk Discounts for WooCommerce is a simple plugin designed to let you create unlimited pricing rules for your WordPress site.

You can set up “buy-x-and-get-discount-on-x” or “buy-x-and-get-discount-on-y” discount rules on your WooCommerce site using the plugin. For instance, you can offer a “Buy 5 t-shirts and get a 5% discount” or a “Buy 2 t-shirts and get a 30% discount on a baseball cap” discount rule.

In addition to this, the Bulk Discounts for WooCommerce plugin also lets you offer free gifts based on cart conditions. For example, you can offer a free item to shoppers if their cart value exceeds £100.

#3. Discount Rules for WooCommerce

The Discount Rules for WooCommerce plugin offers a simple solution for setting up basic bulk discounts on your online store.

This is a free plugin that works great if you want to set up simple discount rules but doesn’t have the functionality to create more advanced discount rules such as “BOGOF” or “Buy x and get an offer on y” offers.

The plugin is ideal if that’s all you need for your online store and you can always subscribe to the Pro version of the plugin to access more features.

#4. Dynamic Pricing

Dynamic Pricing is a popular bulk pricing plugin for WooCommerce that’s trusted by over 10,000 online stores.

You can set up bulk or quantity discounts on your online store and configure them according to your unique requirements. You can also create complex pricing rules such as discounts on specific categories and role-based pricing.

However, it’s quite an expensive option considering other plugins like the WooCommerce Fees and Discounts plugin that can do the same job (and more) at a better price.

#5. WooCommerce Quantity Discounts, Rules & Swatches

WooCommerce Quantity Discounts, Rules & Swatches is a professional plugin that’s designed to help you create tiered pricing and quantity-based rules on your online store.

The unique feature of this plugin is that it lets you showcase quantity swatches on your product pages so shoppers can quickly select multiple products without having to use the simple dropdown menu. For instance, you can showcase quantity swatches like “1x t-shirt at £10” and “3x t-shirts at £20”. This way, your shoppers can quickly decide and purchase multiple products at a discount when shopping from your online store.

#6. Bulk Pricing for WooCommerce

Bulk Pricing for WooCommerce is another great pricing plugin that comes pre-built with all the functionality you need to set up bulk pricing rules on your WooCommerce site.

On top of the basic bulk discount features, the plugin is very easy to set up, even if you’re not very tech-savvy, and lets you display discount information on your single product pages.

However, the plugin’s price point is a little expensive for what it is and the features it offers.

#7. Dynamic Pricing and Discount Rules

Dynamic Pricing and Discount Rules is a professional pricing rule plugin that comes with all the features of most of the other plugins discussed above.

Its most unique feature is that you can bulk import or export your product discount rules. This way, you can upload all your pricing rules as a CSV and the plugin will read them from the spreadsheet.

Offer bulk discounts in your store with WooCommerce Fees and Discounts

Offering bulk discounts on your WooCommerce site is a great way to drive more volume, clear old stock, increase customer satisfaction and encourage more repeat customers. However, with default WooCommerce, you’re stuck with the bulk editing feature that doesn’t let you set up dynamic pricing rules or bulk discounts.

This is why it’s better to use a pricing plugin to set up bulk discounts on your WooCommerce site. Of all the plugins mentioned in our list, the WooCommerce Fees and Discounts plugin stands out from the rest because of its premium features and ease of use. This plugin lets you set up all sorts of bulk discounts and gives you full customisability of how bulk discounts work on your online store.

While WooCommerce is one of the most popular ecommerce platforms to build attractive online stores for physical products and services, it doesn’t offer any functionality to accept invoice payments. Having invoice payment options that meet the needs of your users is a great way to build and facilitate customers relationships.

In this article, we’ll explore how you can accept invoice payments in WooCommerce.

What are invoice payments, and why should you accept them on your WooCommerce site?

Accepting WooCommerce invoice payments is an important part of running a successful business.

For starters, it’s a great way to keep track of your business’s finances and get paid on time while reducing manual errors when dealing with numbers. As a result, it can help your business improve cash flow and offer a more professional shopping experience on your online store.

By accepting WooCommerce invoice payments, you also aid sales and revenue which in turn help you grow your business faster and stand out from the competition. It’s also a great way to reduce the risk of customers forgetting to make a payment or making a mistake when transferring funds to your business.

Instead of making payments from their banking app or payments application, customers can pay for their order directly from your WooCommerce store. As a result, you effectively reduce any manual errors in sending over the wrong amount and make it more convenient for all types of users to buy from your ecommerce store.

In addition, implementing invoice payments on your online store also helps increase customer satisfaction. This is because customers don’t have to go through the hassle of creating an account on another website and then having to transfer funds between accounts. It makes the whole payment experience on your online store more seamless and user-friendly.

Accepting invoice payments on your store is not only a great solution for sellers but is also beneficial for buyers. While invoice payments help sellers get paid faster and allow them to focus on other aspects of their business rather than chasing down the overdue invoices, it also gives buyers the option of making payments at their convenience. This way, buyers can pay directly from your WooCommerce site without having to wait until they receive their next paycheck or transfer funds from their savings account into their checking account.

As a result, it helps promote a more friendly and welcoming shopping experience on your WooCommerce site. This also helps your business increase sales and improve customer retention in the long run.

How to accept invoice payments in WooCommerce

While WooCommerce doesn’t let you accept invoice payments out of the box, there are a few ways you can set this up on your WordPress site.

More specifically, you can do this by using either an invoicing plugin or integrating with payment gateways like PayPal and Stripe. This way, you can offer shoppers a direct way of paying for their orders from your WooCommerce site without having to create an account somewhere else or transfer funds between accounts.

One of the best options to do this is by using an all-in-one solution such as the WooCommerce Product Add-Ons Ultimate plugin.

The WooCommerce Product Add-Ons Ultimate is a powerful plugin that lets you enhance the shopping experience on your store. You can use it to offer personalisable products, manage variable products better, and accept invoice payments on your online store.

This plugin stands out from other similar solutions as it enables invoicing on your online store and so much more, at the same price as an invoicing-only tool. This means you can get more features out of a single plugin while paying a budget-friendly price for it.

For a better understanding of why the WooCommerce Product Add-Ons Ultimate is the “ultimate” solution for your online store, it’s important to first understand how it works.

The WooCommerce Product Add-Ons Ultimate is a custom product add-ons plugin that allows your customers to personalise products by selecting extra product options using text boxes, dropdown fields, checkboxes, and radio buttons. In fact, you can add as many additional fields to your products as you like by choosing from over 10 different add-on fields. This gives you and the customers on your online store more fine-grained control over configuring your WooCommerce products.

Additionally, you can also assign a price to every field that you add to your WooCommerce products, which either adds or subtracts from the original product price. This way, you can charge extra for personalisations or offer premium product options.

For example, you can charge an extra $2 for adding the product to a gift box or let customers print their own logo on apparel products for an additional $7. Put simply it lets you add more value to your existing WooCommerce products and increase your profitability. The best part about this is that it also enables you to accept invoice payments seamlessly.

Who should use Product Add-Ons Ultimate?

The WooCommerce Product Add-Ons Ultimate plugin is perfect for anyone looking to accept invoice payments directly through their WordPress site.

For example, if you’re a web designer running your own small business, you can invoice clients and let them pay you through your website. The Product Add-Ons Ultimate plugin lets you set up an area on your site where all of your clients can easily make payments.

Similarly, if you have a brochure site and you invoice your clients directly, you can use the Product Add-Ons Ultimate plugin to accept invoice payments. So, instead of requiring clients to make direct bank transfers to pay your invoices, you can let them pay you directly through your website.

Steps required to accept invoice payments using Product Add-Ons Ultimate

Here, we’ll take a look at the essential steps you need to follow to accept WooCommerce invoice payments using the WooCommerce Product Add-Ons Ultimate plugin.

For this tutorial, you will need a WordPress site with the WooCommerce plugin installed and ready to go. You will also need some WooCommerce products added to your site as well as the WooCommerce Product Add-Ons Ultimate plugin.

Step #1: Get the WooCommerce Product Add-Ons Ultimate plugin

Start off by getting the WooCommerce Product Add-Ons Ultimate plugin and installing it on your WordPress site. Download the plugin .zip file using the link emailed to you at the time of purchase. Navigate to Plugins → Add New and upload the WordPress plugin to your site and install it.

Once the plugin is installed and activated, it’s time to validate your license. Navigate to WooCommerce → Settings → Product Add-Ons from the WordPress dashboard and click on the licence link. Enter the licence key also given to you at the time of purchase and click on the Activate this licence button to continue.

Step #2: Create an invoice for your WooCommerce payments

While WooCommerce Product Add-Ons Ultimate doesn’t have the option to create a WooCommerce invoice for payments, it works seamlessly with invoice plugins. This way, you can use the invoice plugin to create WooCommerce invoices based on the products your customers want to purchase and send them directly via email or download the invoice as a PDF file.

Once you’ve sent the invoice to the customer, you can offer an easy way to accept the invoice payment using the WooCommerce Product Add-Ons Ultimate plugin. Start off by creating a new “Pay invoice bill” named product by navigating to Products → Add New.

After adding a title and short description, set the price to “0” and select Hide Price using the Price label display dropdown menu.

Next, go to the Product Add-Ons tab and click on the Add Group tab and then click on the Add Field button.

Give your field a title and select Name Your Price using the Field Type dropdown menu. Make sure to also select the Required Field? checkbox.

Now add another field and select Text from the Field Type dropdown menu. This field will let users enter their Invoice ID or invoice number when making payments on your WooCommerce site. Once you’re done, click the Publish button.

After you send your customers the invoice, they can pay it directly from your WooCommerce site by entering their customer invoice ID or invoice number and the total amount.

Step #3: Set up pricing rules and link payment gateways

Now that customers can easily pay their invoice payments directly from your WooCommerce site, you want to make sure all payment gateways are properly set up.

For this, we’ll use the WooCommerce Fees and Discounts plugin to set up payment gateways and charge fees accordingly. You can use it to pass on processing fees to customers instead of paying them yourself.

After installing and activating the WooCommerce Fees and Discounts plugin, navigate to WooCommerce → Settings → Fees and Discounts and check the Enable Payment Gateway Fees and Discounts checkbox.

Click on the Save changes button. Next, click on the Payment Gateways link to set up payment gateways on your WooCommerce site.

Select your payment gateway using the links above and choose whether you want to offer a discount or charge a fee based on the payment method the customer decides to use. You can also choose to apply tax on the total amount of fees charged to the customer. Once you’re done, make sure to click on the Save changes button to continue.

This way, customers can make invoice payments using popular payment processors – such as PayPal – directly from your WooCommerce site. This also ensures customers pay the processing fees when using PayPal to checkout from your WooCommerce site.

Step #4: Test out the payment process before accepting payments

It’s also important to test out the payment process before you start accepting payments on your WooCommerce site.

This prevents any payment errors or bugs from occurring as such problems can be detrimental to the profitability of your business. This is why it’s recommended to test out the payment process yourself first and see how well it works. This is also a great way to identify any potential bottlenecks that can be worked on to improve the payment experience on your WooCommerce site.

Conclusion

Invoicing is a great way to offer a more seamless payment experience for customers shopping in your online store. This not only helps enhance the shopping experience on your WooCommerce store but also helps your business easily manage and accept payments, without having to worry about delays. If you spend less time accepting and managing payments, you can focus on other important business responsibilities.

In addition to this, it also makes it easier for your customers to pay for their purchases directly from your WooCommerce site instead of having to use a different application or transfer funds between accounts. However, since WooCommerce by default doesn’t let you do this, we recommend using an all-in-one solution such as the WooCommerce Product Add-Ons Ultimate plugin.

By paying the same price as you would for an invoicing tool, you also get access to a marketing tool that lets you offer discounts on future orders if customers pay invoices on time.

You can also use it as an upsell tool by offering related products based on what kind of personalisation customers select. For instance, if a customer chooses a colour option for a shirt, you can show them other shirt models in that colour.

Similarly, you can also use the plugin as an effective cross-sell tool by offering complementary products based on what kind of personalisation the customer decides to go with. For example, if a customer chooses the engraving option for a necklace product, you can show them available rings and pendants that they can also get engraved.
