Description
PriceCue Quantity Tiers for WooCommerce helps stores create simple quantity-tier pricing for WooCommerce simple products.
Use PriceCue to show quantity offer cards on the product page, keep the native WooCommerce quantity field as the source of truth, and apply the correct per-unit price in the cart and checkout.
Example:
- Quantity 1: $39.99 each
- Quantity 2: $34.99 each
- Quantity 3 or more: $29.99 each
PriceCue uses real WooCommerce cart quantities. If a shopper changes the quantity manually, the plugin resolves the highest qualifying threshold and applies that tier price. The final tier remains active above its threshold, so a 3+ tier can also price quantities such as 4, 5, or 8.
Key features
- Quantity-tier offer cards for simple WooCommerce products.
- Exact unit price, percentage discount, or fixed amount off per unit.
- Server-side price resolution from the real WooCommerce quantity.
- Native WooCommerce quantity field remains authoritative.
- Quantity card and WooCommerce quantity input stay synchronized.
- Final-tier helper text for quantities above the last threshold.
- Customer-facing cart, checkout, and order label based on the actual quantity.
- Hidden audit metadata for order records.
- Price ceiling protection: PriceCue will not raise the current WooCommerce product price.
- Supports rules with zero assigned products, so merchants can prepare rules before assigning products.
- WooCommerce HPOS compatibility.
- No analytics, telemetry, remote API calls, gifts, bundles, or upsells.
Important v1 scope
PriceCue 1.x is intentionally focused on whole-unit simple products.
The plugin does not support variable products, product bundles, buy-one-get-one offers, free gifts, companion products, cross-sells, or analytics.
Do not use another dynamic pricing or quantity pricing plugin on the same PriceCue-enabled products.
Pricing behavior
Quantity thresholds are minimum quantities.
For example, if the thresholds are 1, 3, and 5:
- Quantity 1 and 2 use the threshold-1 price.
- Quantity 3 and 4 use the threshold-3 price.
- Quantity 5 and above use the threshold-5 price.
The browser never controls the final price. PHP resolves the applicable tier from the real WooCommerce cart quantity.
PriceCue will never raise the current WooCommerce catalog or sale price. If a configured tier price is higher than the product’s current WooCommerce price, the customer pays the lower WooCommerce price.
Order metadata
PriceCue saves the configured visible metadata label and value to WooCommerce order items. It also stores machine-managed audit metadata such as rule ID, tier threshold, effective quantity, applied unit price, pricing mode, and plugin version.
The audit fields remain stored for traceability but are hidden from WooCommerce’s normal order-item meta display.
Installation
- Make sure WooCommerce is installed and active.
- Upload the plugin ZIP from Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, or install it from the WordPress.org plugin directory.
- Activate PriceCue Quantity Tiers for WooCommerce.
- Go to WooCommerce > PriceCue Quantity Tiers.
- Add a rule, assign one or more simple products, and configure unique quantity thresholds beginning at quantity 1.
- Configure the storefront selector headline and customer-facing metadata labels as needed.
FAQ
-
Does PriceCue work with variable products?
-
No. PriceCue 1.x supports WooCommerce simple products only.
-
Does PriceCue create bundle products or separate cart lines?
-
No. PriceCue keeps the native WooCommerce product and quantity. It changes the cart line’s unit price based on the resolved tier.
-
Can customers manually enter quantities above the last tier?
-
Yes. The final tier remains active above its threshold. For example, a 3+ tier applies to quantities such as 4, 5, and 8.
-
Does PriceCue combine different products for quantity pricing?
-
No. Quantity calculation is per product. Different products do not combine toward the same tier.
-
Can PriceCue raise a product’s price?
-
No. PriceCue caps the calculated tier price so it will not exceed the product’s current WooCommerce catalog or sale price.
-
Does PriceCue send data to external services?
-
No. PriceCue does not include analytics, telemetry, tracking pixels, or remote API calls.
