WPC Early Bird Discount for WooCommerce

WPC Early Bird Discount allows you to set up dynamic, tiered pricing based on the number of items sold. Reward your first customers with the biggest discounts and gradually decrease the discount as more items are sold. It is the perfect tool for product launches, crowdfunding campaigns, and limited-time offers.

The plugin provides a powerful rules engine to apply campaigns globally or to specific products, categories, or attributes. With built-in slot reservations, real-time counters, and a visual simulator, you have complete control over your early bird promotions.

🎯 Tiered Discount Engine

Create an unlimited number of discount tiers to encourage early purchases. The price automatically adjusts as items are sold.

• Discount Types — Choose from Percentage Discount, Fixed Discount, or a Fixed Target Price.
• Sequential Tiers — Define ranges like “First 10 items”, “Next 20 items”, “Next 50 items”.
• Automatic Reversion — Once all discounted tiers are sold out or the campaign ends, the product automatically returns to its regular price.
• Real-time Counters — The plugin keeps track of sold items. If an order is cancelled or refunded, the slot is automatically restored.

🧠 Powerful Rules System

Target your campaigns exactly where you want them. Rules are evaluated from top to bottom, applying the first matching rule.

• Global & Specific Targeting — Apply a rule to the entire store, or limit it to specific categories, tags, attributes, or hand-picked products.
• Time-Bound Campaigns — Set a Start Date & Time and an End Date & Time. Offers activate and expire automatically without manual intervention.
• Priority Management — Drag and drop rules to reorder them and manage priorities when a product matches multiple campaigns.

🔒 Slot Reservation System

Avoid overselling and customer frustration with our robust checkout reservation system.

• Checkout Holds — When a customer reaches the checkout page, their early bird slot is temporarily reserved for a configurable number of minutes (e.g., 15 minutes).
• Concurrency Safe — Built with MySQL database locks (GET_LOCK) to prevent race conditions during high-traffic product launches.
• Automatic Expiration — If the customer abandons the checkout or the payment fails, the slot is automatically released back to the pool.

🛒 Frontend & Customer Experience

Create urgency and clearly communicate the value of the early bird offer.

• Public Tier Table — Show a clean table on the product page detailing all upcoming, current, and sold-out tiers, along with their respective prices and remaining quantities.
• Urgency Badges — Display customizable text (e.g., “10 items left at this special price”) on the product page and archive pages.
• Smart Cart Updates — If a tier sells out while a customer has the item in their cart, they are notified of the price change before checkout.

🛠️ Admin Tools & Utilities

Manage your campaigns with confidence using built-in developer-friendly tools.

• Rule Simulator — Enter a product and a simulated “sold count” to see exactly which rule applies, what tier is active, and the calculated price. Test your logic before going live!
• Localization Tab — Edit all frontend text (table headers, status messages, checkout warnings) directly in the plugin settings. No translation plugins required.
• Import/Export — Export your complex rule sets as a JSON file and import them into another site. Perfect for moving from staging to production.
