🚀 What Are Mix & Match Discounts?​

A WooCommerce mix and match discount is a promotional strategy that allows customers to pick any combination of products from a selected group and receive a discount on the entire purchase . This strategy encourages customers to explore your product catalog and purchase multiple items at once . For example, you can offer promotions like "Buy any 3 T-shirts, get 15% off" or "Mix and match any 5 pairs of socks for $25" .

Why Use Mix & Match Discounts?​

  • Boost average order value — Customers buy more to reach the discount threshold
  • Clear inventory — Move slow-selling products by bundling them with popular items
  • Give customers freedom of choice — Unlike fixed bundles, customers choose their preferred items
  • Increase product discovery — Encourage customers to explore your product catalog

Key Statistic: Mix and match offers during Black Friday and Cyber Monday can result in a 30% increase in average order value .

WooCommerce Default Limitations​

WooCommerce does not have a native mix and match discount feature . You need a plugin like the Discount Rules and Dynamic Pricing for WooCommerce to create these flexible group discounts. The plugin uses "Products group" mode with a "Quantity" condition to count products together and apply discounts based on the total quantity.

Now you're ready to create mix and match discount rules under the Woo Pricing & Discounts > Pricing tab.

  • Fixed group price: $60.00
  • Individual prices: $25.00, $25.00, $25.00, $20.00

Example: $12 off when you buy any 4 shirts

Calculation:

  • Customer picks any 4 shirts
  • Subtotal: $95.00
  • $12 discount
  • Final price: $83.00
