Custom discount plugin refers to providing product and user-specific discounts to your customers by setting-up rules in the WooCommerce store. For example, you can set a 10% discount across all products in the ‘Electronics’ category and a 5% discount on all products in the ‘Printed Tees’ sub-category of ‘Apparel’.

It gives WooCommerce store-owners full-control over how much discount they can offer, and on which products in order to meet their marketing strategy and maximize profit-margins.

Custom discount plugin will enable your online store to perform following actions:

• Set discounts for a specific user.
• Set discounts on a particular product, product-category or sub-category.
• Offer discounts only to registered users.
• Increase sales on trending products with category-based discounts.

WooCommerce doesn’t provide rules-based discounts by default, but you can add this feature to your store by installing a plugin – ‘Custom WooCommerce Discount for User’ by BeePlugin.
