Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity.

Overview

About this plugin

Discount Rules Box adds a tiered “Buy Box” to your WooCommerce product pages — customers pick a 1, 2, or 3-pack quantity, see the exact price and savings for each option before adding to cart, and the discount is applied automatically at checkout. No coupon codes, no manual cart math, no page builder required.

Free gives you a fully working 2-pack buy box (1 & 2 pieces), automatic cart discounts, a live admin preview builder, all 4 pricing models, and every text/display toggle — this is a complete tool, not a crippled trial.

Pro (30-day free trial, no credit card) adds a 3rd pack tier, a Sales Analytics dashboard, full Appearance customization, product/category restrictions, and 1-Click language presets for 13+ languages.

What customers see on your store

  • A tiered Buy Box with 2 or 3 pack options, strikeout pricing, per-unit cost, savings highlights, and stock/urgency badges.
  • The discounted price on the cart and checkout, with the original price crossed out.
  • A “Most Popular” / “Best Value” badge pointing shoppers to the pack you want them to pick.
  • Free shipping badges, or a progress bar toward your free-shipping threshold.
  • Footer trust badges (shipping time, guarantee, payment options) in your own words.

PRICING MODELS AND FEATURES WITH EXAMPLE SCENARIOS

Free version features

  • Discount on 2nd & 3rd Item — only the additional items are discounted, so the value is obvious. Example: $18 item, 40% off the 2nd → 1 piece $18, 2 pieces $28.80 ($14.40/unit).
  • Discount on Entire Quantity — the same discount applies across every item in the pack. Example: 40% off both items in a 2-pack → $21.60 total ($10.80/unit).
  • Percentage or fixed-amount discount, set independently per tier.
  • Live admin preview builder — every color, text, and badge change updates instantly before you save.
  • Compatible with Block Checkout, Classic Checkout, and WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).
  • [drbu_tiered_buy_box] shortcode for any page, or automatic replacement of the default “Add to cart” button.
  • Manually edit every string (CTA buttons, badges, notes, shipping text) for full control over the copy.

Get the PRO version for a 3rd tier, Sales Analytics, and Appearance customization.

Pro features

All Free features, plus:

  • 3rd pack tier — add a “Buy 3” option with its own quantity and discount, e.g. 25% off the 3rd item on top of the 2nd-item discount.
  • Fixed Total Package Price — Example: sell a 3-pack for a flat $39.99, regardless of the per-unit price.
  • Fixed Price Per Unit — Example: price the 2-pack at exactly $14.40/unit, whatever total that produces.
  • Sales Analytics dashboard — total upsell revenue, average-order-value lift, and sales share per tier, so you can see which pack is actually converting.
  • Appearance customization — brand colors, button/card radius, and style presets, no CSS required.
  • Product & category restrictions — run the buy box only on selected products or categories, e.g. Category A and Category B only, everything else untouched.
  • 1-Click language presets — instantly fill every text, badge, and button field in 13+ languages; every field stays 100% editable afterward.

Buy Box examples using the 4 pricing models

Discount on 2nd & 3rd Item (Model A)

Discount on Entire Quantity (Model B)

The whole pack is discounted by the same percentage or fixed amount, item by item.

00

Configurable display elements

Each of these can be toggled independently:

* Free shipping badges or progress bars toward a free-shipping threshold.

* Per-pack savings amount and per-unit price.
