📋 Table of Contents​

🚀 Introduction to the Quantity Table​

The quantity table is a powerful visual feature of the Discount Rules and Dynamic Pricing plugin that displays bulk discount tiers directly on product pages. This transparent pricing display helps customers understand the savings they can unlock by purchasing more items, ultimately increasing conversion rates and average order value.

What the Quantity Table Shows​

When you create a bulk pricing rule, the plugin automatically generates a quantity table on eligible product pages showing:

  • Quantity ranges (e.g., 2-5 items)
  • Discount percentage or amount (e.g., 10% off)
  • Discounted price per unit (e.g., $22.50)

This table gives customers a clear incentive to buy more, creating a powerful psychological trigger for larger purchases.

Default Behavior​

By default, the plugin automatically adds the quantity table on the product page before the Add to Cart button. If it doesn't appear, you can easily adjust its position or use a shortcode for custom placement.

📋 Prerequisites: Create a Bulk Pricing Rule​

Before the quantity table can appear, you must first create a bulk pricing rule for your products. The quantity table will only display for products that have an active bulk discount rule.

Please refer to one of the following guides to create a bulk pricing rule:

Note: If you have created a bulk pricing rule properly and the quantity table still doesn't show on the product page, follow the troubleshooting steps below.

Positioning the Quantity Table​

The plugin provides flexible options for positioning the quantity table on product pages. If the default position doesn't work with your theme, you can easily change it.

Step 1: Access Plugin Settings​

  1. In your WordPress admin, go to Woo Pricing & Discounts > Settings
  2. Click on the Promotion tab
  3. Find the Quantity Table section

Settings

Step 2: Select a Position​

  1. Ensure that "Display Quantity Table" is Yes or Enabled

  2. Locate the "Quantity Table Position" dropdown

  3. Choose from the following positions:

    • Before Add to Cart Button (Default) - Table appears before the Add to Cart button
    • After Add to Cart Button - Table appears after the Add to Cart button
    • Before Add to Cart form - Table appears before the Add to Cart form
    • After Add to Cart form - Table appears after the Add to Cart form
    • Before Product excerpt - Table appears before the product excerpt
    • After Product excerpt - Table appears after the product excerpt
    • After Product meta - Table appears after the product meta
    • None - Disables automatic display (use shortcode instead)

  4. Click Save Changes

Step 3: Test the Position​

  1. Visit a product page that has a bulk pricing rule
  2. Check if the quantity table appears in the selected position
  3. If it doesn't work, try another position

Troubleshooting Position Issues​

If none of the listed positions work with your theme:

  1. Set "Quantity Table Position" to "None"
  2. Use the shortcode method described below

Using the Shortcode for Custom Placement​

If the automatic positioning doesn't work with your theme, or you want more control over where the quantity table appears, you can use the [wccs_bulk_table] shortcode.

Basic Shortcode​

Simply add this shortcode to your product page content:

[wccs_bulk_table]

This will display the quantity table for the current product.

Shortcode with Product ID​

You can also display the quantity table for a specific product:

[wccs_bulk_table product_id="1"]

Replace 1 with the actual product ID.

Where to Add the Shortcode​

  • Product description - Add the shortcode directly in the product description field
  • Custom theme files - Add the shortcode to your theme's template files using echo do_shortcode('[wccs_bulk_table]');
  • Widgets - Add the shortcode to a text widget on product pages

Enabling Variation Price Updates​

When you offer bulk discounts on product variations (e.g., different sizes or colors of a variable product), you can enable automatic price updates when a variation is selected.

Why Variation Price Updates Matter​

Without this feature, the price displayed on the product page may not reflect the discount for the selected variation. When enabled:

  1. The product page shows the original price
  2. When a customer selects a variation (e.g., Size: Large, Color: Beige)
  3. The price automatically updates to show the discounted price for that specific variation

How to Enable Variation Price Updates​

  1. Go to Woo Pricing & Discounts > Settings
  2. Click on the Promotion tab
  3. Find the Quantity Table section
  4. Locate the "Variation Price Update" field
  5. Set it to "Enabled"
  6. Click Save Changes

Note: When Variation Price Update is enabled, the product price will automatically update to reflect the selected variation's price when a variation is chosen on the product page.

Customizing with Themes & Styles​

The quantity table supports preset themes that allow you to match the table's appearance to your store's design.

How to Apply a Theme​

  1. Go to Woo Pricing & Discounts > Settings
  2. Click on the Promotion tab
  3. Find the Quantity Table section
  4. Locate the "Table Theme Preset" option
  5. Choose from the available themes
  6. A Live Table Preview will show you how the table will look
  7. Click Save Changes

  1. Go to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS
  2. Add your custom CSS rules
  3. Target the quantity table using the .wccs-bulk-pricing-table-container class
