Description
Dreamfox Category Price Manager for WooCommerce lets you create unlimited discount rules targeting one or more product categories. Discounted prices are shown everywhere in your store — shop pages, product pages, cart and checkout — with the original price struck through, just like a native WooCommerce sale.
Discount rules
- Unlimited rules with priority ordering
- Target multiple categories per rule, optionally including subcategories
- Three discount types: percentage off, fixed amount off, or a fixed price override
- Exclude specific products, other categories, or products already on sale
- Cap the maximum discount amount per product
- Optional price rounding (e.g. to .99 or to a whole number)
Scheduling
- Start and end date/time per rule (site timezone)
- Recurring weekday schedule (e.g. weekends only)
- Daily time window (“happy hour” discounts)
- Rules activate and deactivate automatically at runtime — no cron required
Targeting and conditions
- Limit rules to specific user roles, logged-in users, or guests
- Cart conditions: minimum cart subtotal or minimum quantity of category items (applied as a cart discount)
- Stacking modes: best discount only, first match by priority, or combine all matching rules
Frontend display
- Sale badges on discounted products with customizable text (supports {percent} and {amount} placeholders)
- Promo message on product pages with optional countdown timer for scheduled rules
- [dcpm_discounted_products] shortcode to list currently discounted products
Admin experience
- Rules manager under WooCommerce Category Discounts
- Quick-discount field directly on the category edit screen
- Live discount preview while editing a rule
- Import and export all rules as JSON
- Optional clean uninstall
Installation
- Upload the plugin folder to
/wp-content/plugins/or install via the Plugins screen. - Activate the plugin. WooCommerce must be installed and active.
- Go to WooCommerce Category Discounts to create your first rule.
FAQ
-
Do discounts apply to variable products?
-
Yes. Variation price ranges are recalculated and cached correctly.
-
Do the discounts require coupon codes?
-
No. Prices are adjusted directly, so customers see the discounted price everywhere without entering a coupon.
-
Can I combine multiple rules?
-
Yes. Choose between “best discount only”, “first match by priority” or “combine all matching rules” in the settings.
