Descrición
TierStep Pricing for WooCommerce lets a merchant define cumulative-units-sold pricing tiers on a simple product: for example, the first 50 units sold at $19, the next 100 at $29, then the regular price for everything after that. The price changes automatically as real sales happen – no manual price edits, no coupon codes.
This is a free plugin with no paid tier and no artificially restricted functionality.
Core features (V1)
- Up to three cumulative-sold-units pricing tiers per product.
- An optional campaign start date and end date, checked independently of the tier thresholds (whichever condition ends the campaign first wins).
- A per-campaign “Allow coupons during this campaign” toggle, so a merchant can choose whether coupons may discount a tier price further – independent of each coupon’s own “Exclude sale items” setting.
- Pausing a campaign (unchecking “Enable”) does not reset its progress. Re-enabling it resumes counting from where it left off rather than starting a new campaign from zero.
- A single order cannot cross a tier boundary and get its entire quantity priced at the cheaper tier – the quantity a customer can add is capped to whatever remains in the currently active tier, enforced on both classic WooCommerce checkout and WooCommerce Blocks/Store API checkout.
- If someone else’s order consumes the remaining tier allocation while a different customer already has units sitting in their cart, that customer is shown a clear error (on both classic Cart/Checkout pages and Blocks-based ones) instead of silently completing a purchase at a price that’s no longer valid.
- Compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).
Current scope (V1)
- Simple products only. Variable, Grouped, and External/Affiliate products are not supported in this version – the “TierStep Pricing” tab is hidden for them, and nothing about their pricing is affected.
- “Units sold” is tracked using WooCommerce’s own built-in sales counter. Refunds do not reduce the count (only an explicit order cancellation does) – a refunded sale still counted toward the tier at the time it happened.

Preguntas frecuentes
-
Does this work with variable, grouped, or external/affiliate products?
-
Not in this version. The “TierStep Pricing” tab only appears for simple products. This is a deliberate scope decision for the first release, not a bug.
-
What happens if a customer already has units in their cart and someone else buys the remaining tier allocation first?
-
The customer sees a clear error message the next time their cart or checkout page is checked (on both classic WooCommerce pages and WooCommerce Blocks/Store API pages), telling them how many units are actually still available at the campaign price. Nothing is silently charged at a price that’s no longer valid.
-
Does pausing a campaign (unchecking “Enable”) reset my pricing tiers back to the start?
-
No. The very first time a campaign is enabled, the plugin records how many units had already sold before that point. Unchecking “Enable” only pauses price changes – it does not erase that starting point. Re-enabling the campaign later resumes counting from the same baseline, not a new one.
One thing to know: because this plugin counts units using WooCommerce’s own total-sales tracking (rather than a separate counter), any sales that happen while the campaign is paused still count toward the tier allocation once you turn it back on.
-
Will coupons still work on a product with an active tier price?
-
Yes, by default. Each campaign also has its own “Allow coupons during this campaign” setting – uncheck it if you want to make sure no coupon of any kind can discount the tier price further, regardless of that coupon’s own settings.
-
Does this work with WooCommerce Blocks (the Cart and Checkout blocks) as well as classic checkout?
-
Yes. Pricing, quantity limits, and cart/checkout error messages are all verified against both classic WooCommerce templates and the block-based Cart/Checkout/Store API.
-
Is this compatible with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS)?
-
Yes. The plugin declares compatibility and never reads or writes order data directly – it only reads a product’s own built-in sales count through WooCommerce’s standard product API.
-
Is there a Pro version with more tiers or more features?
-
No. This plugin is free, with no paid tier, no feature gating, and no artificial limits beyond what’s documented here.
