What Discount Rules for WooCommerce does
Rule-based pricing: bulk discounts, BOGO offers and scheduled sales without touching product prices.
It sits in the ecommerce part of a WordPress stack and is sold by Flycart on a freemium basis. We recommend it in our ecommerce guides because it does that one job well without asking you to rebuild the rest of the site around it.
Every plugin adds work to a page request, so treat this as a decision with a cost. Record a speed test before you install it and run the same test afterwards, on the same page, so you know exactly what it charged you.
