Customer Specific Pricing for WooCommerce | Role-Based Pricing in WooCommerce
In the world of professional e-commerce, the “one price for all” model is often a limitation. B2B wholesalers, membership clubs, and multi-tier retail stores require the flexibility to treat different customers uniquely. The Role-Based Pricing for WooCommerce extension by Edify is the industry-standard solution for creating a truly dynamic pricing ecosystem.

The Strategy of Tiered Pricing
Tiered pricing isn’t just about giving discounts; it’s about strategic growth. By offering a “Wholesale” role 20% off or a “VIP” role a fixed price on high-ticket items, you incentivize bulk purchases and foster long-term loyalty. This extension allows you to automate these nudges without manual coupon management.
Beyond User Roles: Individual Customer Pricing
One of the most powerful features of this extension is the ability to set prices for individual customers. If you have a high-value contract with a specific client, you can set a unique price just for their user ID. This ensures your most important relationships are handled with precision, all while keeping those rates invisible to the general public.
Global Rules vs. Product-Specific Controls
Managing a large inventory is simplified through the Global Rule Engine. You can apply a 10% markup or discount to entire categories in seconds. However, for your flagship products, you can dive into the product-level settings to override global rules with specific fixed prices, ensuring your margins are always protected.
The Catalog Mode Hybrid
If you aren’t ready to sell to everyone, you can use the “Hide Price” toggle for guest users. This turns your shop into a lead-generation tool, forcing users to register (and providing you with their email) before they can see your competitive pricing.
