What is the Condition/ Rules section ?
When creating discount offers, you can add conditions to limit the discount based on a number of parameters like subtotal, user roles, categories, products, purchase history, shipping methods, number of items / quantities in the cart and so on.
These conditions can help you make your discounts more targeted and persuasive. The conditions are checked before a discount is applied.
Creating conditional based discounts is now simple with the Discount Rules PRO plugin for WooCommerce.
This guide will list out all the available conditions, their purchase and how you can use them in your discount rules.
Note: The PRO version of Discount Rules plugin is required to use conditions other than the subtotal condition, which is available in the free version.
