WooCommerce Price based on User Role
Display WooCommerce products prices by user roles
Description
With WooCommerce Price based on User Role module you can set different product prices for different user groups (roles). There is also a tool to create custom user roles in Booster’s General module.
If you want to set global price multiplier for each user role, you need:
- Enable the module in WooCommerce > Settings > Booster > Prices & Currencies > Price based on User Role.
- Set multiplier per role.
If you want to set price per user role for each product separately, you need:
- Enable the module in WooCommerce > Settings > Booster > Prices & Currencies > Price based on User Role.
- Check “Enable per Product Settings”.
- Go to product’s edit page and find “Booster: Price based on User Role” meta box.
- Set regular and sale prices for each role. This will override global multiplier for current product and selected role.
Accessible through:
- WooCommerce > Settings > Booster > Prices & Currencies > Price by User Role
Tested on 
WooCommerce 3.4.4 and 
WordPress 4.9.8
WooCommerce 3.4.4 and WordPress 4.9.8Plugin can be downloaded here. If there are any locked fields in the module, you will need to get Booster Plus to unlock them.
HI, I have purchased the pro plugin. I have the price per user enabled and the price and currency per country enabled. The price per user does not work.
Hello folks!
I just want to say that i am really impressed
I have used Booster plugin for a while, mainly because of the great PDF document system which is the best around..
I have now looked around and tested a lots of plugins for dynamic pricing and role based pricing to use in combination with WooCommerce Product bundles, but even woocommerce own dynamic pricing which says to work great with product bundles did not do what i was expecting. All these plugins had no option to totally disable “items on sale” products from the pricing rules.
I was narly to give up when i got to think about all the options included in Booster plugin, i took a look and enabled the role based pricing option, i found that all items even variable could be given a permanent price, which means i could set items on sale price permanent, and these was then excluded from any pricing rule. And the best part was that all these new prices was not serialized in DB, they used its own postmeta so i could easily add the postmeta into my product bulk editor so i do not need to open/edit each product just to change any pricing settings.
After a short hour i had my store ready with pricing rules for 3 different roles and all items on sale excluded, VOILA the dream come true, it works perfect
Thank you guys for the perfect solution…
PS… Do never serialize the pricing values
Kind Regards

I bought Booster Pro, and am very happy with it. I am also using prices per user role, and have enabled it per product (bypassing the general multipliers). However, I’d like to do all the prices in a bulk editor. How are you doing that? What tool are you using to export and import the data into Woocommerce? I’m worried that Booster’s extra fields will ruin imports and exports…?
So with the regular Booster plugin, am I correct to have found that for Price by User Role, I can only utilize that option on one product, and to use it on multiple products, I need to purchase the Booster Plus?
That module allow us to set an easy list of discounts by category and user role.
It works fine for front end orders.
But there is a problem: For admin made orders, even selected customer with his role, only standar prices are applied when adda a product, even after push “recalculate” button.
Who make backend order dont need to know its role, nother its exact discount prices, but cannot place order by that reason.
¿How can we fix that, and makes this module works for admin made orders too?
I have problem using this features…. I want to use the “per product” setting. So i change the meta box from NO to YES, then i update the page, but it always remains at NO. Cannot use it….
I have the same problem. Dear support can you help us?
Regards
Hi,
Could you please recheck that you don’t have “Booster: Free plugin’s version is limited to only one price by user role per products settings product enabled at a time…” message at the top of the page, after you set it to “Yes”. If that’s not the case – please contact me on tom@booster.io for further support.
Best regards,
Tom
Hi. Is there any way that the consumer kan see the ordinarie pris and there User role price? Like the global discart show the prices.
Hello Tobias,
sorry for a late response, can you explain in more details what is your problem? because right now its hard to understand what exactly you want.
Best regards,

Hello,
Very important question here!
Am using price per role on product basis and that works perfectly. I find a limitation though.
Let’s say I have 5 roles and 100 products.
But then I negotiate a special deal on 1 product with a customer. Then I need to create a new role just for that customer, which will be the copy of a role with 99 products with the same discount. And only 1 product with a different discount. Then can you imagine the pain in maintaining these new roles while I agree on special terms with other customers too…
To prevent ending up with 100s of roles I think the best way is to allow in the product page to setup discounts per customer too. Which should be applied instead of the user role discount in this case
Do you think this could be implemented?
I think that would be a huge improvement in the price per role module
Thanks!
“Which should be applied instead of the user role discount in this case” I mean when there is data for a customer then this discount rule should be applied instead of the client’s role discount rule
I have the full paid version but I cannot find a way to disable discount/coupon codes per user role.
In order to prevent maintaining hundreds of products by wholesale price, I want to use a custom user role to reduce the price by percentage for a wholesale user role and that seems to be working great as I can include or exclude specific categories as appropriate without having to go in and set the rate individually for each product or apply a global rate for all products since I need them applied only to specific categories.
The problem is that when adding products to the cart, a wholesale user can till enter coupon codes that are readily available on the site for regular customers and get an additional discount on top of their half price rate and that reduces their price below my own cost of goods. So adding a discount to a wholesale rate is not an option. I can’t find a way to disable the coupon code or remove the coupon box for a wholesale user role.
How do I do that?
Hi,
Thanks for the idea. Unfortunately not possible with Booster at the moment, but seems quite easy to implement. One question though – do you want to disable *all coupons* for some user role? Or you want to enable/disable *each coupon* for some user role (i.e. on per coupon basis)?
Best regards,
Tom
Hi, Tom.
Thanks for the speedy reply. I would like to disable all coupons for a specific user role since the price set per role is the lowest reduced price I can go in those cases.
thanks, deb
Ok, I’ve made some tests already – disabling all coupons will be easy. One note – it disables coupons for some user role completely – this means that even coupon field on cart disappears for that user role. I will get back to you as soon as it’s done – shouldn’t take long. I will also check if this can be done on per coupon basis (maybe this will be useful for other Booster users).
While testing I’ve discovered one workaround that already can be done now in Booster – not sure if this will be good enough to you though – when you create a coupon in WooCommerce, you can select “Exclude sale items” checkbox there. Now if you go to “WooCommerce > Settings > Booster > Prices & Currencies > Price by User Role” and enable “Disable Price by User Role for Regular Price” checkbox there, price by user prices will be counted as sale price, so coupon is not applied. Hope you get the idea.
P.S. If you like Booster, please leave us a rating.
Best regards,
Tom
Cool!!
That sounds like a great workaround. I tried a number of different things that removed things I didn’t want removed or required setting price individually by product (too many products to do that) but I had not tried that control – Didn’t fully understand that one and then got tired of going in circles!
But I’ll check it out. Since I’m still in the “preparing for wholesale” stages at this point, that will be a good start. I’m personally happy with removing coupons for a specific user role, but it’s true that other users may want it on a per coupon basis.
Thanks again for the speedy response and feedback. I”m happy that’s something you can do. And yes, I’m very impressed with Booster and like it very much so far.
thx, deb
Hi Deb,
I’ve just sent you new dev version. You will need to uninstall the old plugin version first (don’t worry your saved settings won’t disappear). There I’ve added new “Coupon by User Role” module in “WooCommerce > Settings > Booster > Cart & Checkout > Coupon by User Role”. Could you please check it out? Any feedback is highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Tom
gosh, Tom! Thanks for doing that and so quickly. It works like a charm 🙂
Thanks so much. I’ve submitted rave reviews for you 🙂

Hi, Tom.
Thanks again for your brilliant work on this. However, I’ve found an issue. I get this error at the top of the page when I check my site with Edge and IE. It’s fine with Chrome and Firefox. I checked all the file paths and code lines on the server and it’s all there and is correct so I can’t figure out why I can’t eliminate the error on those 2 browsers or their cache. Right after I installed the new plugin you sent, I started getting warnings from my security app about malware and missing includes which I could never pin down so when I finally saw these on IE and Edge, I’m guessing it’s these errors it’s seeing.
Here is the error I’m getting at the top of the site on those 2 browsers:
Warning: include_once(/home1/mysite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/booster-plus-for-woocommerce/includes/class-wcj-coupon-by-user-role.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home1/debschlier/public_html/wp-content/plugins/booster-plus-for-woocommerce/includes/core/wcj-modules.php on line 137
Warning: include_once(): Failed opening ‘/home1/mysite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/booster-plus-for-woocommerce/includes/class-wcj-coupon-by-user-role.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/opt/php70/lib/php’) in /home1/debschlier/public_html/wp-content/plugins/booster-plus-for-woocommerce/includes/core/wcj-modules.php on line 137
I tried disabling that setting, as well as disabling booster to see if the error went away but it didn’t seem to make any difference at all. The only thing I haven’t tried is deleting the plugin altogether and starting over to see if it went away because I didn’t want to lose so many settings and all the work I’ve already done individually on products.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks, deb
Since I entered my last note, I’ve discovered that it does show up in Firefox also when I’m NOT logged in.
I’ve also discovered that when logged in on the other browsers, the error does not show up.
It seems the error only shows up when you’re NOT logged into an account.
Hope that helps,
deb
Hi Deb,
Sorry for not replying earlier. This is really weird. Looks like when you are not logged, some of the plugin files are missing. You can try deleting the plugin and re-installing it again. You settings will remain unchanged (if you’d need to really delete Booster settings, this can be done though “WooCommerce > Settings > Booster > Dashboard > Manage Settings > Reset”). Alternatively you can wait till this Sunday (June 3rd), when we are going to release stable version, so you could update normally (not sure it will help though).
P.S. By the way – as mentioned, today we’ve included “Per Coupon” options, so coupons can now be invalidated for some user roles on per coupon basis (i.e. not all coupons at once).
Hope that helps.
Best regards,
Tom
Thanks so much! I didn’t have time to work on this until today so I installed the Booster update before trying anything else and that does seem to have corrected the problem. I have no idea what went wrong but it seems the new version fixed everything 🙂
Super nice plug-in. I really like it. If you don’t mind me saying so, the only thing that could make it even better is a “bulk edit” on things like wholesale entries and other things like that have individual product entries, although I can see how it may not be possible but a gal can dream 🙂
thanks again for all your help and special attention,
deb
