How to exclude Products from rules using Dynamic Pricing and Discounts Plugin for WooCommerce? (Code Snippet)

There may be instances where you configure some rules for dynamic pricing or discounts for products on your store, and would like to exempt some products from these rules. You can achieve this in ELEX Dynamic Pricing and Discounts Plugin for WooCommerce with the following code snippets for different cases.

Case 1: Skipping products from specific rule type

With Dynamic Pricing and Discounts Plugin for WooCommerce, you can create product rules, combinational rules, category rules, cart rules, and buy & get offers. You can skip certain product(s) from these rule types by specifying product ID(s) and rule type in the code snippet.

Consider the following category rule configured in the plugin:

Based on the above category rule, if a minimum of two items of category Clothing are bought, then a percentage discount of value 10 is applied. The discounted rate on the products can be seen on the cart page as shown below:

To skip a product from category rule, say Hoodie (product ID: 2500), include the following code snippet in the functions.php file of your respective website theme folder.

add_filter('eha_dp_skip_product','skip_product_from_discount',1,4);
function skip_product_from_discount($return_val,$pid,$rule,$mode)
{
$pid_to_skip=array(2500); // specify pids to skip
if($mode=='category_rules' && in_array($pid,$pid_to_skip))
{
return true; // true to skip this product
}
return $return_val;
}

Once the code snippet is added, you can see the applicable changes on the cart page as shown in the screenshot below:
