How to create bulk discounts in WooCommerce
Bulk discounts allow you to offer better pricing to customers who buy larger quantities of a product. This encourages bigger purchases, helps clear inventory faster, and improves overall order value in your woocommerce store.
💰 Real revenue impact: what you lose without this rule
Bulk pricing motivates customers to buy more per order — especially for wholesale, B2B, or repeat buyers.
