Pricing by user role lets you give wholesalers, VIPs or any other role their own quantity tiers, separate from regular retail customers. The Price by Quantity & Bulk Quantity Discounts for WooCommerce plugin handles this in its User Roles section, and it is free.
Before you start #
- WooCommerce active, with Price by Quantity installed.
- The user roles you want to target already exist. You can create a custom role in the Tools section if you need one.
Step-by-step #
- Go to WPFactory > Product Price by Quantity (also reachable at WooCommerce > Settings > Product Price by Quantity).
- Open the User Roles sub-tab and confirm User roles is enabled.
- In User roles settings, select each role you want to price separately, then save changes.
- A settings block now appears for each selected role. Set its Number of levels, save, then fill in the Min quantity and Discount for each level.
- Save changes.

Note: the roles you enable here also appear as separate levels blocks in the per-product and per-category / per-tag settings, so you can override role pricing at those levels too. Customers whose role has no rule fall back to the standard All Products pricing.
Use cases #
- Offer a “Wholesaler” role deeper tiers while retail customers see the standard rule.
- Reward a “VIP Member” role with an extra percentage at high quantities.
Troubleshooting #
- Level fields missing for a role? Set its Number of levels and save changes so the fields appear.
- Role pricing ignored? Check the customer is actually assigned that role and that User roles is enabled.
