Running special offers is one of the best ways to keep customers coming back to your WooCommerce store. At Pedleyonline, we’ve put together these FAQs to answer common questions about creating discounts, vouchers, and limited-time deals.
Is it possible to offer a quantity discount on my e-commerce store?
WooCommerce makes it possible to offer a quantity discount for a product however this is achieved by using a plugin for which there may be a charge.
Quantity discounts are used by sellers to incentivise a buyer by offering a decreased cost per unit if goods are purchased in greater numbers.
If you would like to offer your customers a quantity discount, please make us aware of this either during the enquiry phase of the project or in the early stages whilst we are discussing requirements.
Can I promote ‘linked purchases’, ‘related products’ or ‘you might also like…’ ?
It is possible to add a relationship between specified products on your eCommerce website. This means that customers will be made aware of any related products when viewing or purchasing a product. This includes products within the same category; however, it is possible for you to select and manually link products together to provide this functionality.
Can WooCommerce accommodate limited period sales? e.g. a January Sale, Weekend Deal.
Yes, it is possible to promote and administer all types of sales. There are lots of options and lots of different ways of achieving this. Examples include a Discount Code that can be used shop wide or applicable only to a specific category. It is also possible to manually apply a sale price to a product which will override the regular price of the product. This works well where the sale is only for a small number of products.
Can my e-commerce website feature special offers? e.g. ‘BOGOFF', ‘3 for 2’, ‘Half price’.
Yes, it is possible to set up various special offers. There are several basic discount options. More sophisticated special offers such as buy one get one free, 3 for £10, 3 for 2, buy one get one half price will require the use of a plugin which will incur a licence fee and implementation costs.
