Description

Dreamfox Category Price Manager for WooCommerce lets you create unlimited discount rules targeting one or more product categories. Discounted prices are shown everywhere in your store — shop pages, product pages, cart and checkout — with the original price struck through, just like a native WooCommerce sale.

Works on both the classic [woocommerce_checkout] shortcode checkout and the new WooCommerce Cart and Checkout blocks — discounts and cart-condition discounts (shown as a negative fee) apply correctly either way.

Discount rules

Unlimited rules with priority ordering
Target multiple categories per rule, optionally including subcategories
Three discount types: percentage off, fixed amount off, or a fixed price override
Exclude specific products, other categories, or products already on sale
Cap the maximum discount amount per product
Optional price rounding (e.g. to .99 or to a whole number)

Scheduling

Start and end date/time per rule (site timezone)
Recurring weekday schedule (e.g. weekends only)
Daily time window (“happy hour” discounts)
Rules activate and deactivate automatically at runtime — no cron required

Targeting and conditions

Limit rules to specific user roles, logged-in users, or guests
Cart conditions: minimum cart subtotal or minimum quantity of category items (applied as a cart discount)
Stacking modes: best discount only, first match by priority, or combine all matching rules

Frontend display

Sale badges on discounted products with customizable text (supports {percent} and {amount} placeholders)
Promo message on product pages with optional countdown timer for scheduled rules
[dcpm_discounted_products] shortcode to list currently discounted products

Admin experience

FAQ

Do discounts apply to variable products?: Yes. Variation price ranges are recalculated and cached correctly.
Do the discounts require coupon codes?: No. Prices are adjusted directly, so customers see the discounted price everywhere without entering a coupon.
Can I combine multiple rules?: Yes. Choose between “best discount only”, “first match by priority” or “combine all matching rules” in the settings.
How is this different from WooCommerce coupons or sale prices?: Coupons need a code and only apply at checkout. This plugin changes the product price itself, so shoppers see the discount on shop pages, product pages, cart and checkout. You manage one rule per category instead of editing every product’s sale price.
Can I run a sale on a category only on certain days or hours?: Yes. Each rule supports a start and end date, weekdays and a daily time window (for example a weekend or happy-hour sale).
Can I give a bulk discount, for example 10% off when buying 3 items from a category?: Yes. Use a cart condition (minimum quantity or minimum subtotal). It is applied as a cart discount shown as a negative fee.
Does this work with the new WooCommerce Block Checkout?: Yes. Both the classic checkout and the WooCommerce Cart/Checkout blocks are supported. Category discounts adjust the product price directly (visible on both), and cart-condition discounts (minimum subtotal / minimum quantity) are added as a negative fee that appears in both the classic and block-based cart/checkout totals.
