How can I have "Everyday Low Pricing:?

    I have recently started using WooCommerce and for the most part it works for my store of over 31,000 products. However, right now I cannot show both the “Retail” price and my “Everyday low pricing” on the site. Most of my items are discounted 15% to 20% every day. I know there is “sale price” option, but that I plan to use that for items that are discounted even more than the regular, everyday pricing.

    I see in the meta fields the following: “regular_price”, “sale_price”, “price”, and “price”. It seems that the “price” is either the “regular_price” or the “sale_price”, but there is no way to manually change this price. Also, if I change it via the API, then edit the product on the site, it changes the “price” meta value.

    What I am looking for is something that I can manage that “price” attriubute myself – either via plugin or API – and NOT have it updated when I manually edit a product. Or, better yet, expose that “price” meta in the manual editor.

    In addition, I need to be able to display the “regular_price” with a strikethrough and show the “price” in a specific color.

    Any thoughts on this?

    Thank you. I saw that but I am not paying $49 for such a simple thing that SHOULD be built into the primary plugin. So I wrote my own little plugin that does what I need it to.

    99% of stores don’t need a 3rd price field so a core option for this doesn’t make sense. Hope you understand 🙂

    I guess we have to agree to disagree, because EVERY online site I go to shows both the retail price, and the current price. It’s not a “sale” per-se – but just the normal price for the store. NOBODY sells items for retail pricing – because you can’t compete.

    When I want to put an item on sale so that it shows up in “sale” searches, that’s what I use the sale price for. But not every item in my store is “on sale”, and people want to know what the retail price is for comparison shopping.

    It’s the way far more than 1% of online stores do business. Every other online store application I have tried (Volusion, BigCommerce, etc) has this option built in. It’s how e-commerce is done.
