Price By User Roles in WooCommerce Plugin — is a powerful tool designed to give store owners complete control over their pricing structure. It enables you to easily define different prices for the same product based on the customer's user role. Whether you run a B2B/B2C hybrid store, a membership site, or simply want to reward loyal customers, this plugin provides the flexibility needed to tailor the shopping experience and maximize revenue.
The plugin seamlessly integrates with your existing WooCommerce setup. You can set prices at the product level, create global discount rules, or even completely hide prices and the 'Add to Cart' button for certain user roles. This functionality is perfect for creating wholesale portals, members-only stores, or catalogues that require users to log in to see pricing. By personalizing prices, you can build stronger customer relationships, increase conversion rates, and manage complex pricing models without any custom code.
Why This Is Important for Your Business
A "one-price-fits-all" strategy can severely limit your store's potential. According to a Deloitte study, businesses that implement personalized pricing can see a 5-15% increase in revenue. By not offering different prices to wholesale buyers, you're missing out on bulk orders. By not rewarding loyal customers, you risk them switching to a competitor. This plugin directly addresses these pain points by allowing you to create a tiered pricing system. It helps you cater to both B2B and B2C audiences on the same site, increasing your average order value and improving customer lifetime value by making specific groups feel valued with exclusive rates.

FAQ
Can I set a percentage discount for a user role instead of a fixed price?
Yes, absolutely. The plugin allows for great flexibility. You can either set a specific fixed price for a product for a certain user role, or you can apply a global percentage-based (or fixed amount) discount to all products for that role. This is perfect for creating store-wide sales for members or VIPs.
Will this plugin work with variable products and their variations?
Yes, the Price By User Roles plugin fully supports WooCommerce variable products. You can set different prices for each individual variation based on the user's role, giving you granular control over the pricing of products with multiple options like size or color.
Is it possible to hide prices completely from users who are not logged in?
Yes, this is one of the core features. You can configure the plugin to hide the product price and the "Add to Cart" button for guest visitors (or any other user role). You can also replace the price with a custom message, such as "Please log in to see the price" to encourage user registration.
How are taxes handled with role-based prices?
The plugin works seamlessly with WooCommerce's native tax settings. When you set a role-based price, you can choose whether that price is inclusive or exclusive of tax, just like you would with a regular product price. WooCommerce will then calculate and display taxes correctly at checkout based on your store's configuration.
