Smart Discount Rules for WooCommerce – Cart Discount Rules, Dynamic Pricing & Scheduled Sales

✅ Free Version Features

The free version covers real discounting, not a demo:

✅ Visual rule editor with condition and action builders ✅ Percentage discounts , on the entire cart or on products you select ✅ Fixed-amount discounts , capped at the value of whatever they target ✅ Cart subtotal condition with full comparison operators ✅ Specific products in cart condition ✅ Product categories in cart condition ✅ Customer role condition , including guest shoppers ✅ Total cart item quantity condition ✅ Scheduling : date range, recurring weekdays, and overnight time windows ✅ Skip products already on sale ✅ Priority ordering and three stacking modes : additive, exclusive, highest-first ✅ Dashboard : totals across every rule, with quick actions ✅ Analytics : total discount given, orders with a discount, and top performing rules ✅ Rules list with filtering by all, active, or inactive ✅ JSON import and export of every rule ✅ Rule logs with configurable logging level ✅ Up to 5 active rules at a time. Create as many as you like, activate five

Dates are shown in your site’s date format and evaluated in your site’s timezone, so a rule that ends “Sunday” ends when your store’s Sunday ends.

• 📦 Stores pushing basket size with spend thresholds and quantity incentives

📈 Why Smart Discount Rules

There is no shortage of WooCommerce discount plugins. Here is what actually separates this one:

• ⚡ Nothing on your storefront : discounts are worked out on the server and applied as a cart fee. This plugin puts no scripts on your shop pages at all. It only loads anything inside your WordPress admin.
• 🕒 Scheduling that understands your store : weekday recurrence and time-of-day windows, including windows that cross midnight, evaluated in your site’s own timezone rather than UTC.
• 🏷️ No double discounting : a switch on each discount to leave out products already on sale, so a clearance item doesn’t take a second cut.
• 🎚️ Real stacking control : priority order plus additive, exclusive, and highest-first modes, so you decide up front whether two matching rules combine or one stands alone.
• 🔍 Analytics that answer a question : usage count and total savings per rule, so you can see which promotion is actually earning its place.
• 🧩 An extension API, not a wall : documented hooks, filters, a REST API, and a JavaScript registry. Pro is built on the same public API you can build on.
• 🔄 HPOS compatible : fully tested with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage, the default since WooCommerce 8.0.

Privacy Policy

Smart Discount Rules for WooCommerce does not collect or track any store visitor data, and loads no scripts on your storefront.

The plugin uses the Freemius SDK for optional, opt-in usage analytics (admin-side only). On first activation you are asked whether to share non-sensitive diagnostic data: WordPress and PHP versions, plugin version, site URL, and admin email. You can skip this and the plugin works identically either way. You can opt out at any time from the Account page. Nothing is collected without your explicit consent.
