We are configuring the plugin and you’d probably know what to choose. Yes, Settings, it is.
In the Settings tab, you have around 8 very basic properties for configuring discount rules. Here’s how it looks.
General Configuration
The general configuration of the plugin deals with the settings that are needed to run the Woo Discount rule plugin.
License Key
The License Key is the unique code used for validating your plugin instance. You can get your License key on your My Downloads page. Enter your license key and click “Validate”.
Price Rule Configuration
If you want to provide WooCommerce discounts on the product level or specific products, you need to create a price rule. The configuration you carry out in this segment will be reflected in the product page whenever you set a “price rule”.
Rule setup for price
This field applies only to ‘Price Discount Rules’ and NOT to Cart Discount Rules. It has 4 options:
If there are two or more discount rules that add to the WooCommerce same product, this field decides which rule to actually apply
First matched rule – To apply the rule with the highest priority or order
All matched rules – To apply all the matching rules
Biggest one from matched rules – To apply the rule that offers the highest discount
Lowest one from matched rules – To apply the rule that offers the lowest discount.
Note: The property applies to all the discount rules that you have created and not just one rule.
Show price discount on product page
Familiar with the “Strikethrough” that appears on the product price when there is a discount?
Set the value of this property to “Show” for the strikethrough to appear. Otherwise, disable it.
Show Sale tag on the product page
Let your customers know the best selling products on the product page by displaying the ‘Sale’ tag. Select the option ‘Show’ in the field dropbox to display the Sale tag on the product page.
Discount table
The discount table appears on the product page and shows all the discounts applicable to the product. It has two columns – Range and Discount. To display the discount table on the product page, go to your WordPress Dashboard->WooCommerce->Woo Discount Rules->Settings->Scroll down to Products tab->select “Yes” or“No” on the show discount table section.
Customization of the Show discount table
If you want to customize the discount table, on the settings page, you can click on the Customise Discount table and you can see a table where you can choose to hide the title column. Configuring WooCommerce Discount Rules is that simple.
You can change or translate or customize the look and feel of the discount table that shows up on the product pages. You can choose to change the texts and titles by directly adding the content.
You can show the Discounted Price by simply enabling the option in “Discount Column Value on the table”. You can show the column discount in the pricing table to your customers when they are on the product page.
The smart way of explaining the customers about your WooCommerce discount. By displaying the column discount range in the product pricing table, the customer gets to know about your discount rule related to that product. This also makes the customer choose bulk discount offers in order to save more. While customizing the discount table you can show the column discount in the pricing table to your customers when they are on the product page.
Show strikeout discount in Cart item
Many times we would have noticed ‘strikeout’ of the discount rated in the cart. This checkbox is enabled accordingly if you want the strikeout discounted rate to be displayed in the cart or not.
Auto-add free product on coupon applied
Say, you create a discount coupon and associate that coupon with a discount rule.
Let the coupon code be “SUMMER”. The coupon rule is to gift a cap free when the subtotal is $500. So, when the total reaches $500 and when you don’t have the product “cap” in the cart, two conditions are checked
If “Auto-add” free product on coupon applied” is set to ‘Yes’. The product will automatically be added to the cart when the customer enters the coupon code.
If “Auto add free product on coupon applied” is set to ‘No’. The product will not be added automatically to the cart.
Cart Rule Configuration
This setting will be reflected in the product pages when you set a “Cart rule”
Coupon name to be displayed
The coupon name which is associated with a discount rule needs to be entered in this field. This is set while creating a cart discount rule in the Rule page.
Note: Make sure you create coupon codes that are easy to remember by your customers.
Rule setup for cart
If there are two or more discount rules that apply to the same discount rule, this field decides which rule to actually apply.
It has 4 options:
First matched rule – To apply the rule with the highest priority or order
All matched rules – To apply all the matching rules
Biggest one from matched rules – To apply the rule that offers the highest discount
Lowest one from matched rules – To apply the rule that offers the lowest discount.
Enable Free shipping option
Select ‘Free Shipping’ as the discount type in the Rule page, if you wish to go with the shipping offers of default WooCommerce.
Select ‘disabled’ in WooCommerce if the free shipping offer is to be declined.
Message on apply discount in cart
Want to display some text message when a customer chooses to apply for a discount in the cart? The discount messages can be displayed both for price discount rules and cart rules.
Below settings that are to be enabled when you want to display a discount message for a price rule,
Go to Woo Discount Rules -> Settings -> Promotion section.
Configure the below settings to display the message,
Content to display in message
When the “message on apply discount in cart” is set to ‘enable’, it opens a new field where you will be asked to enter the message that needs to be added.
Shortcodes used in the text box,

Here, rule name has been used to display the discount message, the code to be written is,
