How to Configure Advanced Discount Price Rules – Cost on Product in WooCommerce

The Cost on Product option in the Dynamic Discount plugin allows you to create product-specific discount rules based on quantity ranges. This helps you offer different discount amounts depending on the product and how many items customers purchase.

For example, you can configure a rule where customers get $10 off when buying 1–5 quantities of Product A, and $12 off when buying 6–10 quantities. You can also apply percentage-based discounts for selected products.

Benefits

Using Cost on Product rules can help:

• Create product-specific discount offers
• Apply discounts based on quantity ranges
• Encourage larger purchases with tiered pricing
• Offer fixed or percentage-based discounts
• Control whether discounts apply to the full cart or selected products only

How to Configure Cost on Product Rules

Step 1: Open the Advanced Discount Price Rules section

Go to your discount rule settings and scroll to the Advanced Discount Price Rules section.

Enable this option and select Cost on Product from the available rule types.

Step 2: Add products for the discount rule

Select the product(s) where you want to apply discounts.

You can create separate discount rules for different products and define quantity ranges for each one.

Step 3: Configure quantity ranges

Enter the minimum quantity and maximum quantity for each discount rule.

This determines when the discount will be applied.

For example:

• Quantity 1–5 → Discount applies
• Quantity 6–10 → Different discount applies

Step 4: Add discount amounts

Enter the discount value you want to apply.

You can add:

• Fixed discount amounts (Example: $10 )
• Percentage discounts (Example: 10% )

Example:

• Product A → Quantity 1–5 → $10 discount
• Product A → Quantity 6–10 → $12 discount

Step 5: Configure percentage discounts for selected products only (Optional)

By default, a percentage discount is calculated based on the cart subtotal amount.

For example:

• Product 1 subtotal = $50
• Product 2 subtotal = $40
• Total cart subtotal = $90

If the discount is 10%, the plugin calculates:

10% of $90 = $9 discount

However, if you want the percentage discount to apply only to selected products, enable the Apply on Products option.

Example:

If only Product 1 is selected and its subtotal is $50:

10% of $50 = $5 discount

This gives you more control over how percentage discounts are calculated.

Example Use Cases

Product-Specific Quantity Discounts

Offer different discounts based on product quantities.

Example:

• Buy 1–5 quantities → $10 off
• Buy 6–10 quantities → $12 off

Wholesale Pricing

Create bulk pricing rules for wholesale customers buying higher quantities.

Example:

• 1–10 quantities → Small discount
• 10+ quantities → Larger discount

Percentage-Based Promotions

Apply percentage discounts for selected products during promotional periods.

Example:

• Buy selected product → 10% off

Conclusion

The Cost on Product option gives you flexible control over product-specific discount pricing in WooCommerce. You can combine products, quantity ranges, fixed discounts, and percentage discounts to create pricing strategies that encourage larger purchases and improve sales.
