In this document let’s discuss about two discount types:

  • Discount based on Tags

  • Discount based on Brands

Introduction:

Discount based on Tags refers to offering discounts on products that are assigned to specific tags whereas, discount based on Brands refers to offering discounts on products associated with specific brands.

For example: 10% discount on all products tagged as "summer collection”, 15% discount on all products from the brand "Nike."

The Discount Rules for WooCommerce plugin allows you to offer targeted discounts based on tags and brands which allows you to target specific products or groups of products and provide customers with incentives to purchase them.

Example scenarios:

  • 10% off on all products tagged as "Clearance Sale"

  • Get a 20% discount on products tagged as "New Arrivals" from the whole cart

  • Enjoy a 15% discount on all products from the brand "Adidas"

  • Get Free Shipping while customers purchase from the brand "Crocs"
