FAQ

How do I set up membership pricing tiers?

Navigate to WooCommerce > Role-Based Pricing, create custom roles for each tier (Bronze, Silver, Gold), then set percentage off, amount off, or exact set price for each membership level. Members automatically see their tier pricing when logged in.

Can I offer discounts based on customer groups?

Yes. Create a role (e.g., Wholesale) and assign a percentage off, amount off, or set price. You can also set product-specific overrides when needed.

Does it work for customer groups and price levels?

Yes. You can use existing WordPress roles or create up to 3 custom roles. Each role can have its own discount, and product-level overrides are supported.

How do I create volume discounts for wholesale customers?

Create a “Wholesale” customer group, assign a discount (e.g., 25% off, $5 off, or set price to $50), and assign wholesale customers to this role. They’ll automatically see discounted prices on all products.

What’s the performance impact on my store?

The plugin is optimized for high performance with advanced caching, indexed database queries, and smart hook loading. Most stores see no noticeable impact, and some see improvements due to efficient pricing calculations.

Is it compatible with variable products and variations?

Yes. You can apply rules to all variations or to individual variations. Use “Set Price” to give a specific variation an exact price (e.g. $35) regardless of its regular price. Use “Amount Off” to subtract a fixed amount, or “Percentage” for percentage discounts.

Can I override global pricing for specific products?

Absolutely. Product-specific pricing rules always override global rules. For variable products, you can apply rules to all variations or choose a specific variation. Variation-specific rules override parent rules.

Does it work with other WooCommerce plugins?

Yes, it’s designed for maximum compatibility using standard WooCommerce hooks and WordPress coding standards. Works alongside most WooCommerce extensions.

Can I customize the member price color?

Yes! By default, member prices use your theme’s color. To customize, go to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS and add: .maxtdesign-rbp-price .maxtdesign-rbp-member { color: #your-color !important; }. See CUSTOMIZATION-GUIDE.md for examples.

How does it compare to subscription-based pricing plugins?

This plugin is completely free, with no recurring fees and no external API requirements.

Is technical support included?

Community support is available through the WordPress.org forums.
