Now let’s get down to configuring the plugin.

• Custom Text & Discount: Enable this option to add price prefixes, and suffixes, and to apply quick discounts to the products.

After entering the details you can save changes.

Now, let us check how it works with a number of examples.

Check the below screenshot to add prefixes and suffixes to the product price.

Here I have added “Only” as the prefix and “Including Tax” as the suffix. After saving the settings, it will reflect on the shop page as well as the product pages and the cart page as in the below screenshots.

Shop page:

You can find the prefix and suffix displayed along with the product price for all products on the shop page.

Similarly, the prefix and suffix will be displayed on the individual product pages as in the below screenshot.

Cart Page:

Setting Quick Discounts

You can either apply a fixed price discount or a percentage discount on all products globally.

Check the screenshot for a demonstration where we add a fixed price discount:

In the above example, I have added $5 to be deducted from all products in the store.

Check the product prices on the shop page before saving the changes for getting more clarity.

Check the screenshot of the Shop page after saving the changes:

You can see the difference as $5 has been deducted from all the products’ prices.

Similarly, on the cart page, check out the screenshot before adding the $5 discount.

You can see the difference as $5 has been deducted from the products’ prices on the cart page.

Similarly, you can set the percentage discount. Let us take the same example of a fixed-price discount. I reset the settings and applied a 10% discount. Check the screenshot:

After saving the changes, it will reflect on the products as in the below screenshot:

10% of the price of products has been deducted from their respective product prices on the shop page. Similarly, on the cart page, a 10% discount will be applied to all the products in the cart.

Setting Prefix, Suffix, and Discounts on Product Level

The same settings can be set up for individual products from their respective product pages. Those settings will be applied only for the products exclusively even though there are other values set up globally on the plugin dashboard. The values set on the individual product level have a higher priority than the global settings.

To configure the settings on the individual product level, go to the product page dashboard > Price Text & Discount.

Check an example:

Here I have added the prefix “Buy at” and the suffix “before December!” exclusively for the product ‘Woo Ninja’. You can also set exclusive discounts as well. And also you can only add a suffix or a prefix according to your requirements as no fields are mandatory here. 

After updating the product page settings, check the shop page below screenshot:

The settings have been updated exclusively on the product ‘Woo Ninja’. The rest of the products have the prefix and suffix set up globally on the plugin dashboard.

Setting Prefix, Suffix, and Discounts for Variable Products

If your store sells variable products, you can add or hide the prefix and suffix and set a discount for each variation individually or for the parent product.  

You can hide the prefix and/or suffix of individual product variations when there are default prefixes and suffixes configured for all products in your store.

For setting up custom text and discounts for all the variations of a parent product, go to the product page dashboard > Price Text & Discount.

Check an example:

For setting up prefixes, suffixes, and discounts for each product variation individually, go to the product page dashboard > Variations > Choose the variations. And set up details for each variation accordingly. 

In case custom text and/or discounts are set up for the parent product as well as the individual product variations, the variations will be given a higher priority. If the individual product variations have not been configured, the plugin will refer to the parent product.

Check an example:

Check the product page after saving the settings.

Here, in this example, I have configured to hide the prefix of the variation ‘Small’ and added a discount of $5. Also, I have enabled to hide the suffix of the variation ‘Large’ and added a discount of $5.

Since I have not configured anything for the variation ‘Medium’, the global prefix and suffix set on the plugin dashboard will be applied to this variation.

Check how these variations will reflect on the product page when a customer chooses each variation:

Variation – Small

Variation – Medium

Variation – Large

Check out the cart page screenshot of custom prefixes and suffixes added to variable products.

This is how you can set custom prefix and suffix for product prices and quick discounts easily with ELEX WooCommerce Product Price Custom Text (Before & After Text) and Discount plugin.
