General Note

Please note that some of these free eStore addons are developed by our users in the community. So they do not have any advanced customization option. The description above explains exactly what this addon does.

Automatically Apply Discounted Product Prices for Members

You can automatically give a discount to your emember users on your eStore products.

How Auto Member Discounts Work

Normal visitors (non-members) of the site will see the standard full product price. Logged in members of the site will see a discounted price (according to the discount rate you set in the settings).

discounted-product-prices-for-site-members

Configuring the Automatic Discounts for Members

Step 1) Download and install the eStore dynamic discounts/coupons addon

Step 2) Go to the “Dynamic Coupons” menu in from the eStore admin dashboard area

Step 3) Go to the “WP eMember Integration” section and check the “Enable Auto Discounts For Members” option.

Step 4) Specify a discount rate in the “Member Discount Amount” field. For example: use a value like 25 if the members should automatically receive a 25% discount.

Step 5) Save the settings

Step 6) This step is optional. You can edit your membership level and apply a different discount rate if you want to offer different discount to different levels. For example: you may want to apply 15% discount to silver level members and 30% discount to gold level members.

When members go to your store page, they will automatically see the discounted product price (according to their membership access level). Normal visitors (non-members) will continue to see the standard product price.

This works for any fancy product display templates offered in WP eStore. So this will work even if you are using it on a sales/landing page (instead of a store page).
