WooCommerce: Bulk Dynamic Pricing Without a Plugin

You’re looking to assign different unit prices based on the quantity added to Cart, for example from 1-100 price is $5, from 101-1000 price is $4.90 and from 1001 units ordered price becomes $4.75.

There are many “Dynamic Pricing” plugins out there (and the number #2 on this article would suit complex pricing rules and dynamic discounts), but this time I want to teach you a simple code to DIY WooCommerce quantity-based pricing.

As usual, comments and shares are much appreciated. Enjoy!

PHP Snippet: Change Product Price Based on Quantity Added to Cart (Bulk Pricing)

In our example, our product price is €34 and I want to apply a 5% discount above 100 units and a 10% discount above 1000 units. Screenshots for threshold 1 and threshold 2 are below the snippet.

add_action( 'woocommerce_before_calculate_totals', 'bbloomer_quantity_based_pricing', 9999 );

function bbloomer_quantity_based_pricing( $cart ) {

    if ( is_admin() && ! defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) ) return;

    if ( did_action( 'woocommerce_before_calculate_totals' ) >= 2 ) return;

    // Define discount rules and thresholds
    $threshold1 = 101; // Change price if items > 100
    $discount1 = 0.05; // Reduce unit price by 5%
    $threshold2 = 1001; // Change price if items > 1000
    $discount2 = 0.1; // Reduce unit price by 10%

    foreach ( $cart->get_cart() as $cart_item_key => $cart_item ) {
		if ( $cart_item['quantity'] >= $threshold1 && $cart_item['quantity'] < $threshold2 ) {
			$price = round( $cart_item['data']->get_price() * ( 1 - $discount1 ), 2 );
			$cart_item['data']->set_price( $price );
		} elseif ( $cart_item['quantity'] >= $threshold2 ) {
			$price = round( $cart_item['data']->get_price() * ( 1 - $discount2 ), 2 );
			$cart_item['data']->set_price( $price );
		} 	
    }
