FAQ

Do I need any other plugins for this to work?

Yes, you need two free plugins:
* Groups – For user group management
* WooCommerce – The e-commerce platform

Both are completely free and work seamlessly with this plugin.

What discount methods are available?

You can choose between two methods:
* Rate (Percentage) – For example, 0.1 = 10% discount, 0.25 = 25% discount
* Fixed Amount – For example, 5 = $5 off, 10 = $10 off (in your store currency)

Can I apply discounts to products already on sale?

Yes! You can choose to apply the group discount to either:
* Regular prices – Ignores sale prices
* Sale prices – Applies discount to sale price if available, otherwise to regular price

This gives you complete flexibility in how discounts stack.

What happens if a user belongs to multiple groups?

You have complete control! Choose from four priority methods:
* Higher discount – User gets the best deal (recommended)
* Lower discount – User gets the smallest discount
* Higher group ID – Based on group creation order
* Lower group ID – Based on group creation order

Can I set different discounts for different products?

The free version applies discounts globally to all products based on user groups. If you need product-specific or category-specific discounts, check out the PRO version.

Will customers see the original price?

You decide! There’s an option to display both the original and discounted prices, which helps highlight the savings to your customers. You can even customize the display text.

Does this work with variable products?

I’ve set up all groups with discounts like «Registered 0 (empty field in options)», «VIP 5%», «VIP 10%», «VIP 15%», «VIP 20%», «VIP 30%». Groups with discount work properly, but the main group «Registered» for some reason screwed prices. For example, if a product price was £17, client in a «Registered» group, with no discount now sees £16.99. If I disable plugin, everything go back to normal. Only visitors (not registered) see correct prices when the plugin in active.
