Rules and restrictions

Rules and Restrictions are like the conditions that you set for the discount. The discount will only apply to the product or the whole cart depending on whether the conditions are satisfied or not.

You can set the rules based on Product price, Cart total, and the number of items in the cart. If you want the discount to be applied to the product only if it matches a particular criteria/condition, you can use our Rules and Restrictions section for setting the same. You can set restrictions for your Pricing rules based on the following.

The conditions are equal to, less than, greater than, less than, or equal to, and greater than or equal to.

You can set multiple rules, using the + symbol on the right side of the rule. And the – symbol is used to remove the rule.

The above rule set is an example for setting multiple rules. Either the first two rules or the last rule must be satisfied for applying the rule to the product or to the cart.

You can also add some groups of rules and each group can contain multiple rules itself. The product or cart must satisfy all or some of the rule combinations according to the rules that are set.

The above example has two groups of rules. The ‘OR’ option at the center states that one of the two combinations must be satisfied to apply the discount. If it was ‘AND’, the two combinations must be satisfied for applying the discount.

If you enable multiple discount values (only available for discount types – Fixed / Percentage of product price) then each group will have an option to add a separate discount value

If you enable multiple discount values then you can set discount values for each group as below. Remember each group will be considered as different and make sure to set the group relation to OR. The discount field will not be visible on existing restrictions, please remove the existing restrictions and add new restrictions to sewer discount values.

The woocommerce discounts can be regulated with respect to the User Roles. The roles may be Administrator, Editor, Author, Contributor, Subscriber, Customer, Shop Manager, or any user-defined roles. You can also set a discount for a selected user from the user list.
