# Quantity Discounts by Product Category and Tag

To set quantity discounts by category or tag with Price by Quantity & Bulk Quantity Discounts for WooCommerce Pro, enable Per product category or Per product tag at WPFactory > Product Price by Quantity > General. Then edit the term under Products > Categories or Products > Tags, set Enable to Yes, and add the levels.

### Before you start

- Price by Quantity Pro, activated.
- Enable the level at **WPFactory > Product Price by Quantity > General** (also reachable at **WooCommerce > Settings > Product Price by Quantity**).

| Setting | Option ID | Default | Free/Pro |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Per product category | `alg_wc_wholesale_pricing_per_product_cat_enabled` | No | Pro |
| Per product tag | `alg_wc_wholesale_pricing_per_product_tag_enabled` | No | Pro |

### Step-by-step

1. Enable **Per product category** or **Per product tag** on the General tab and save.
2. Go to **Products > Categories** (or **Products > Tags**) and edit the term you want to price.
3. In the **Product Price by Quantity** section, set **Enable** to Yes and choose a **Discount type**.
4. Set **Number of levels**, click **Update**, then fill in each level's Min quantity and Discount.
5. Save the term.

### How it resolves

When a product has no per-product rule, Price by Quantity looks for an enabled category or tag rule (checking categories first, then tags) before falling back to the store-wide rule. The stored meta key on the term is `_alg_wc_wholesale_pricing_per_term_enabled` along with the level keys.

### Use cases

- Offer bulk pricing across an entire "Wholesale" category.
- Run a tag-based promotion, such as tiered pricing for everything tagged "Clearance".

### Troubleshooting

- Fields missing on the term page? Confirm the matching level is enabled on the General tab and saved.
- Rule not applying? Make sure the product has no per-product rule overriding it, and that the term is assigned to the product.

### Ready to set this up?
