Quick Start Guide

Set up quantity breaks and bulk discounts on your WooCommerce store in under 5 minutes.

⏱️ Time to complete: ~5 minutes. No coding required — everything is configured from the WordPress admin dashboard.

1. Installation & Activation

  1. Download the discount-rules-box-upsell ZIP file from your account.
  2. In WordPress go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
  3. Choose the ZIP file and click Install Now, then Activate.
  4. Alternatively upload the unzipped folder to /wp-content/plugins/ via FTP/SFTP and activate it from Plugins.
⚠️ WooCommerce is required. The plugin needs an active WooCommerce installation (7.0+ recommended, tested up to 9.5).
⚠️ Getting the "upload_max_filesize" error? The ZIP is only ~100 KB, so the error comes from the server, not the plugin. See the FAQ for all fixes (php.ini, .htaccess, wp-config.php, multisite, FTP).

2. First Configuration in 4 Steps

After activation, go to WooCommerce → Discount Rules Box. The settings are organized into 5 tabs; the first four matter the most.

Step 1 — Tiers & Pricing

  • Number of packaging tiers: choose 2 Tiers (1, 2 pieces) or 3 Tiers (1, 2, 3 pieces).
  • Pricing model: pick between Model A (discount on additional items), Model B (discount on entire quantity), Model C (fixed total bundle price) and Model D (fixed price per unit). See Packaging Tiers & Pricing Models.
  • Discount unit: percentage (%) or fixed amount per additional unit.
  • Tier details: set the quantity, name and discount for each active tier.

Step 2 — Appearance & Styles

  • Click a style preset (Warm Rose Gold, Amazon Orange, Sunny Yellow, Ocean Royal Blue, Modern Blue, Emerald Fresh, Energy Red) for an instant palette.
  • Or set your own primary color, button text color, "best value" badge color and card background.
  • Choose the button corner radius (Pill / Rounded / Soft / Sharp) and tier card corner radius.

Step 3 — Display Options

  • Toggle free shipping, footer badges, savings callout, "best value" badge, per-unit price and strikeout price.
  • Disabled options are hidden from the frontend together with their related settings. See Display Options.

Step 4 — Texts & Badges

  • Use the 1-Click Language Presets (13 languages: English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, Português, Русский, हिन्दी, Nederlands, Polski, Română, Magyar, Srpski/Hrvatski/Bosanski) to fill every field with a high-converting translation.
  • Or customize every package title, note, CTA button, badge and cart label manually. Placeholders like {price}, {save}, {qty}, {unit_price}, {d2}, {d3} are replaced automatically.
Save your settings — every change takes effect immediately on the frontend and on the [tiered_buy_box] shortcode. The live preview in the admin shows the exact result in real time.
