How together?

By /

Nikki is one of our custo the BOGO(Buy One Get One) offers for the same set of products(s).

The Business Case

[porto_content_box align=”justify”]

I would like to the percentage discount(on a specific product category).
How could I create such a combo?

[/porto_content_box]

For demonstration, let us say Nikki has a product category called ‘Hoodie’ for which she wanted to offer 10% discount. And based on her BOGO discount requirement, let us consider, the purchase of 6 units of hoodies, one free mug was given, and consequently, 11 hoodies with 2 free mugs and 22 hoodies with 5 free mugs should be given.

Although this case may seem straight-forward, the available solution was short of something.

Our Dynamic Pricing and Discount Plugin for WooCommerce provides three discount calculation modes:

1. Best Discount – in which only the Category Rule was being applied, as the best discount.

2. First Match Rule – based on the priority set on the Execution Order settings, the first rule was being applied.
For example, if the BOGO rule was prioritized, the Category rule was not applied.

3. All Matched Rule – applies Category rule(10% discount) and all BOGO rules(6+1, 11+2 and 22+5)

The Optimal Solution

The available calculation mode did not help Nikki achieve her discount requirement correctly. Hence we suggested her to the Dynamic Pricing plugin.

Let us take a step-by-step walkthrough to see how the solution was achievable.

1. Configure Category discount using WooCommerce Catalog Mode, Wholesale & Role Base Pricing plugin

  • Go to find price adjustment table.
  • Next, select desired category(Hoodie in our case) from the Categories column and enter -10% value in Price Adjustment(%) column. Since we are offering this discount for all users, the same values have to be set up for all user roles.
  • Lastly, tick the Enable checkbox for all user roles and save the settings.

A sample screenshot of the settings is shown below.

2. Configure BOGO discounts using Dynamic Pricing and Discounts Plugin for WooCommerce

  • Go to WooCommerce > Dynamic Pricing > Settings.
  • In the Execution Order section, enable only BOGO Rules, and in the Calculation Mode settings, select First Match Rule option.
    Below is a sample screenshot that shows the settings to be configured.

  • Next, go to Dynamic Pricing > Discount Rules > BOGO Rules. 
  • Click on Add New Rule button.
  • Configure the first rule for 22 units of hoodies with 5 free units of mugs, as shown in the screenshot below.

  • Similarly, add other rules for 11 hoodies with 2 free mugs and 6 hoodies with 1 free mug.
    The final BOGO rules created will look something as shown in the below screenshot.

Hence all our settings are configured now.

The Outcome

Moving to the cart, as shown in the screenshot below.

As shown in the above screenshot, the category discount of 10% is applied to the product.

Next, when we increase the number of units to the cart, as shown in the below screenshot.

When the number of units for hoodies is increased to the cart, as shown in the screenshot below.

Further, when the quantity of hoodies is increased to twenty-two, the cart is updated with percentage discount with five units of free mugs, as shown in the below screenshot.

Hence, in this way, Nikki was able to apply Percentage discount for a specific category from WooCommerce Catalog Mode, Wholesale & Role Based Pricing plugin and BOGO discounts from Dynamic Pricing and Discounts for WooCommerce very easily.
