WooCommerce Cheapest & Most Expensive Product Promotions is a WordPress plugin that gives store administrators precise control over cart-based discounts. The plugin automatically identifies the cheapest or most expensive product in a customer’s cart and applies a configurable percentage discount — including the ability to give items away for free. Whether you want to incentivize larger orders, reward loyal customers, or run targeted sales campaigns, this plugin provides the flexibility to structure promotions that drive revenue.
The plugin works by detecting when specific conditions are met in the shopping cart, then automatically identifying the cheapest or most expensive product and applying your configured discount. Setup is straightforward, with two clear application strategies and granular control over every aspect of the promotion.
Setting up a promotion takes just two steps. First, choose your application strategy. You can base the promotion on cart total, which applies the discount to the cheapest or most expensive product currently in the cart. Optionally define a minimum and maximum cart total range so the promotion only activates within that spending window.
Alternatively, use the specific products strategy to select a set of products and/or categories. The promotion activates when at least one of the selected items is in the cart. You can define custom quantity ranges using minimum and maximum values, and even add multiple product blocks that work together with AND logic. For example, a promotion could require Product 1 (minimum quantity of 2) AND Product 2 (quantity between 3 and 6) to both be present.
Next, choose your item selection strategy. Apply the discount to the cheapest or most expensive item in the entire cart, or only among the products you specifically selected. If multiple quantities of that item exist, you control how many items receive the discount.
Increase Average Order Value: Encourage customers to add more items to reach promotion thresholds and spend more per transaction.
Clear Inventory: Apply 100% discounts to specific products to move slow-selling stock without manual intervention.
Target Specific Segments: Use role restrictions to create promotions for wholesale buyers, VIP customers, or other user groups.
Create Complex Campaigns: Combine product, quantity, and cart total conditions for highly targeted offers that maximize promotional ROI.
Multilingual Ready: Run promotions across multiple language versions of your store with full WPML support.
Imagine your store sells Product 1 at $4 and Product 2 at $2. You configure a promotion with a 100% discount on Product 1 (maximum quantity 2) and Product 2 (maximum quantity 4). A customer adds Product 1 and Product 2 (quantity 10) to their cart. The plugin identifies Product 2 as the cheapest, applies the 100% discount, and limits it to the maximum quantity of 2 items — resulting in a $4 discount. This level of precision control makes the plugin ideal for sophisticated promotional strategies.
Store administrators can also apply promotions for every N items purchased or every N dollars spent, enabling buy-more-save-more campaigns that run automatically without manual intervention.
How is the discount displayed to customers?
The discount is displayed as a cart fee in the WooCommerce cart and checkout pages, clearly showing customers the promotion that has been applied.
Can I give a product away for free?
Yes. You can set the percentage discount to 100%, effectively giving the cheapest or most expensive product in the cart away for free.
Does the plugin work with WooCommerce coupons?
Yes. You can configure promotions to only apply when a selected coupon has been used, or prevent promotions from applying when any coupon is already in the cart.
Is this plugin compatible with multilingual stores?
Yes. The plugin is compatible with WPML, and promotion labels can be translated using WPML’s String Translator under the WooCommerce-Cheaper domain.
Can I restrict promotions to certain customer types?
Yes. The plugin supports role restrictions, allowing you to limit promotions to specific user roles during the promotion setup.
