WooCommerce- Provide Discount for Wholesale User Role on Local Pickup along with the Mark-up Discount

This is a business case from a customer using our ELEX WooCommerce Catalog Mode, Wholesale & Role Based Pricing to give category discount in his shop. He want’s to give 10% additional discount when the wholesale user chooses to pickup the order from the shop. The ELEX WooCommerce Catalog Mode, Wholesale & Role Based Pricing plugin don’t have the option to give discounts based on the shipping option. You can provide discounts to products based on category or provide individual price adjustment for the user roles. or use the plugin for the tax calculations based on user roles. But discount based on shipping is not possible with this plugin, But we do have another plugin which is capable of doing this. The ELEX Dynamic Pricing and Discounts Plugin for WooCommerce can give discounts based on the shipping option used in the cart/checkout page. In this article I’ll explain how to use the two plugins to achieve this. The set up and configuration is pretty simple.

Business case: Give 20% discount to all categories using  ELEX WooCommerce Catalog Mode, Wholesale & Role Based Pricing and give 10% discount if shipping option selected is Local pick up using ELEX Dynamic Pricing and Discounts Plugin for WooCommerce plugin.

Requirements:

Set up ELEX WooCommerce Catalog Mode, Wholesale & Role Based Pricing

You can give a discount or add mark up prices to categories for user roles, and also assign individual product prices as per the roles. You can also add/delete user roles using this plugin. But in this article we’ll discuss about how to set mark up discount for the different user roles.

Add Category Discount

For the current business case we need to give a 20% discount on all categories. so we can go to the plugin settings and under Role based-setting go to “Price Adjustment: (Discount/Markup)”. Here you can see the list of user roles you have and you can choose the categories for the roles you want to give discount to or if you want to give discount or add markup price to all categories you can just leave it blank. You can add adjustment to price based on percentage or fixed value, to five discount choose ‘D’ from the drop down and to add markup price you can choose ‘M’ from the drop down. Make sure you check the enable check box to apply the price adjustment. Add a 20 value under the percentage adjustment and choose ‘D’ for the user role Wholesale user role as shown below. 
Now for all wholesale user role you’ll get 20% discount on all products.

Set Up Local Pick-up

To set up the local pickup you can go to WooCommerce Shipping Zones-> Create a zone to which you want to offer local pickup option, and add a shipping method Local pickup. If you want to offer discount on other shipping method such as flat rate or free shipping options you can add it here. Or if you need to add local pick up for multiple zones you can create multiple shipping zone and offer local pick up shipping option.

Add a Cart Rule

Choose the check for option as ” Total No. of Units”, and set the minimum quantity as 1, and max quantity you can leave blank if you don’t want to put any restriction. Choose the discount type as ‘Percentage discount’ and give the value as 10. 
Now go to the “Allowed Role & Date” and under the user-role field select Wholesale user. and the dates field you can leave blank or unchanged if you want it to start right away, but if you want a start and end date for the offer you can select the dates in the respective fields. 
Next, under the ‘Advanced Restriction’ tab choose the local pickup option from the ‘Allowed Shipping Methods’ field. with this options the discount rule will apply only for wholesale users when they select Local pick up as shipping option, else they’ll get only the 20% discount provided by the ELEX WooCommerce Catalog Mode, Wholesale & Role Based Pricing plugin. 
If you want to offer discount when the customer select some other shipping option you can set in the same field above. You can even restrict the rule to some payment method.

And when you select the shipping option as Local Pick up you get another 10% discount. First the 20% category discount is applied, and then then 10% discount is applied to the product price when local pick up is selected.
