Ways to Set Up Bulk Pricing for WooCommerce

There are many ways to change the prices in your store. Simply you can go to the product page and change the price in a few clicks. But it is not an ideal method to apply discounts dynamically and for the multitude of your products. Since WooCommerce is adaptable to accept any features with its settings options as well as with the help of plugins and extensions, it is not a tedious task.

So in this article, you can see 3 methods for setting up bulk pricing as I listed below. They are:

Using the default WooCommerce bulk edit option.
With a WooCommerce Bulk Edit plugin.
With a WooCommerce Dynamic Pricing and Discounts Plugin.

So let us begin with the default WooCommerce bulk edit option.

Method 1: Set Up Bulk Pricing for WooCommerce with WooCommerce Default Bulk Edit Option

This is quite an easy option, which allows you to increase or decrease the price of all products in your store with a number of filter options.

Go to your WooCommerce dashboard > All Products.

If you want to apply some filters to sort the required products, select required categories, product types such as simple, variable, external, or grouped, and required stock status. Click Filter to list the filtered products.

Tick the required products from the list or select all products to proceed to the next step.

Choose Edit from the drop-down pickup list where labeled as Bulk actions. Then click Apply.

A new window will be displayed where you can find the option to apply the price change. Here you can change the regular price and sale price. You will have 2 options to edit the regular price such as increase or decrease the existing price by a fixed dollar or a percentage. You can enter the fixed price or percentage accordingly and save the changes to make it applicable for the selected products in your store.

Similarly, you can bulk edit the sale price of the selected products. There is one more option available to edit the sale price, that is, set the regular price discounted by a fixed price or a percentage. After setting up the pricing accordingly, click Update.

The updates will be reflected on the product pages and the Shop page.

Method 2: Set Up Bulk Pricing for WooCommerce with a WooCommerce Bulk Edit Plugin

If you need more bulk edit features to apply bulk pricing to your products, it is better to integrate a WooCommerce bulk edit plugin. ELEX WooCommerce Advanced Bulk Edit Products, Prices & Attributes is one of the best bulk edit plugins in the WooCommerce market, which you can use to apply various bulk edit operations in your store. In this article, I am taking ELEX WooCommerce Advanced Bulk Edit Products, Prices & Attributes plugin to show how you can apply bulk pricing for WooCommerce with a bulk edit plugin.

It is a premium plugin that allows you to filter the required products finely even if your store sells different product variations and external products under different categories and subcategories and so on.

You have 5 options to bulk edit Regular price. They are:

Increase by Percentage (+ %): Increase the regular price by a specific percentage of the existing price.
Decrease by Percentage (- %): Decrease the regular price of the filtered products by a particular percentage.
Increase by Price (+ $): Increase a fixed amount of price to the existing regular price.
Decrease by Price (- %): Decrease a fixed amount from the existing regular price of all the filtered products.

Check an example that I have set to apply the price of $30 for all products.

The same options are available for bulk editing sale price of the filtered products. Check an example in the below screenshot:

In the above example, $5 will be added to the sale price of all filtered products.

After setting up the prices, click Continue. Click Finish on the Schedule tab to execute the bulk edit or schedule the update to execute the bulk edit later.

To give you an idea regarding how to set up the bulk pricing with this plugin, I am demonstrating an example of Category Rules in this plugin.

Go to WooCommerce > Dynamic Pricing > Category Rules > Add New Rule.

In the above example, I have chosen a category Clothing, and added a 20% discount to be applied to all products which come under the Clothing category. This will be applied only when the customer chooses 3 or more products from the Clothing category. You can set different discounts according to your requirements. And also there are options to set up role-based discounts to make this offer available for selected user roles and filter users based on their purchase history and many more.

After saving the rule, the price of the product will reflect on the customer’s Cart page when they pick more than 3 products under the Clothing category as shown in the below screenshot.

As you can see in the above screenshot, when the customer added 3 shirts, which come under the Clothing category, a 20% discount has been applied to the product price.

This discount will be applicable for all the products under the Clothing category (according to the example). You can set a discount in accordance with the requirements and pricing methods in your store.

Wrap Up

You can opt for any one method from the above 3 methods I have explained. If you simply need to increase or decrease the product prices, you can do it with WooCommerce’s bulk edit option itself. If you need to bulk edit prices such as increase or decrease it, the bulk edit plugin will be the right option. And, if you are looking for a plugin that helps to apply discounts and offers in bulk, then the dynamic pricing plugin will be the best option.
