Tribuy \u2013 Group Buy for WooCommerce<\/strong> lets your customers buy together. Set a group price and a goal quantity. Customers join by ordering the quantity they need. If together they reach the goal before the deadline, every order is confirmed at the group price. If they don't, every order is refunded automatically.<\/p>\n\n

It works like wholesale buying spread across many customers. Pool small orders into one big purchase that hits your supplier's minimum order quantity, run a pre-order that only goes into production when enough units are sold, or organise a buying club or co-op.<\/p>\n\n

How it works<\/h3>\n\n
    \n
  1. Create a product and choose the Group buy<\/strong> product type.<\/li>\n
  2. Set the group price, the goal quantity, an optional maximum quantity, the minimum and maximum each customer can order, and the end date.<\/li>\n
  3. Customers order and pay as usual. Their order is held in the Awaiting group<\/strong> status, and the progress bar on the product page fills up.<\/li>\n
  4. When the campaign ends:\n\n
      \n
    • Goal reached:<\/strong> every waiting order moves to Processing<\/em> and the customer is emailed that the deal is confirmed.<\/li>\n
    • Goal missed:<\/strong> every waiting order is refunded through the payment gateway and the customer is emailed. Cash on delivery orders are cancelled. Orders paid with a method that cannot refund automatically are put on hold for you to refund by hand.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

      Features<\/h3>\n\n
        \n
      • Group buy product type<\/strong>, right next to Simple and Variable.<\/li>\n
      • Goal quantity<\/strong>: the total number of units all customers together must buy.<\/li>\n
      • Maximum quantity<\/strong>: cap the campaign at your stock or supplier limit. It closes when the cap is reached.<\/li>\n
      • Minimum and maximum per customer<\/strong>: counted across all of a customer's orders, matched by account and billing email.<\/li>\n
      • Group price<\/strong>: shown next to the regular price, with the saving.<\/li>\n
      • Scheduled start and end dates<\/strong>, handled in the background by Action Scheduler.<\/li>\n
      • Progress bar, units left and live countdown<\/strong> on the product page, plus a compact progress bar in the shop.<\/li>\n
      • Awaiting group order status<\/strong>: paid orders wait here until the campaign closes. Stock is reserved and downloads stay locked until the deal is confirmed.<\/li>\n
      • Automatic refunds<\/strong> through any payment gateway that supports refunds, such as Stripe or PayPal.<\/li>\n
      • Choose what happens at the goal<\/strong>: keep selling until the end date or the maximum, or close the campaign straight away.<\/li>\n
      • End campaign now<\/strong> and Recalculate<\/strong> buttons on the product screen.<\/li>\n
      • Group buy column<\/strong> on the Products screen with the status and progress of each campaign.<\/li>\n
      • Four emails<\/strong> that use the WooCommerce email system: joined<\/em>, successful<\/em> and failed<\/em> for customers, campaign ended<\/em> for you.<\/li>\n
      • Works with the block and classic cart and checkout.<\/strong> Every rule is checked on the server.<\/li>\n
      • HPOS compatible<\/strong>: works with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage.<\/li>\n
      • Translation ready<\/strong>, and every template can be overridden from your theme.<\/li>\n
      • Lightweight<\/strong>: one small table, no external requests, no tracking, and one small script that loads only on product pages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Upload the plugin to \/wp-content\/plugins\/tribuy-group-buy-for-woocommerce<\/code>, or install it from Plugins \u2192 Add New<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
        2. Activate it from the Plugins<\/strong> screen. WooCommerce must be active.<\/li>\n
        3. Go to WooCommerce \u2192 Settings \u2192 Group buy<\/strong> to review the settings.<\/li>\n
        4. Create a product, choose Group buy<\/strong> as the product type, and fill in the Group buy<\/strong> tab.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
          \n

          When is the customer charged?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          At checkout, like any other order. The order then waits in the Awaiting group<\/em> status until the campaign closes.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          What happens to customers if the goal is not reached?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Their payment is refunded automatically through the payment gateway and they receive an email. If the payment method cannot refund automatically, such as a bank transfer, the order is put on hold with a note telling you how much to refund.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Can a customer join more than once?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Yes. Every order counts towards the customer's maximum, so a customer can top up their quantity until they reach it.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Can customers buy group buy products together with regular products?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Not by default, because a mixed order has to wait for the group buy before the regular products can ship. You can allow it under WooCommerce \u2192 Settings \u2192 Group buy<\/strong>.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Does it work with my theme?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Group buys are regular WooCommerce products, so they work with any theme that supports WooCommerce, including block themes. The templates can be overridden by copying them to yourtheme\/woocommerce\/<\/code>.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Does the plugin send data anywhere?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          No. The plugin makes no external requests and collects no usage data.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
