Biggest opportunity: Swap “price rule” and “bulk discount” for “discounts” and “pricing rules”. “price rule” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “discounts” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “bulk discount” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “pricing rules” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 700 of 69.3K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,181 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “price rule” and “bulk discount” for “discounts” and “pricing rules”. “price rule” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “discounts” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “bulk discount” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “pricing rules” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

The ELEX support team is excellent! I needed a good discount plugin for my WooCommerce website and found the “ELEX WooCommerce Dynamic Discount and Pricing” plugin. It had tons of features and was reasonably priced, so I purchased it and began evaluating it. I encountered a few problems with the plugin on my site, which was a fairly complicated site that had functionality the ELEX plugin had not been tested with. They were very responsive in helping me resolve the problems and maintained excellent communication with me. Many thanks to a terrific team, particularly Akash, who provided the majority of communication with me! A great company to work with! This topic was modified 1 year, 5 months ago by rscrouse3211.

This was the only plugin I’ve found that works well for our needs. We had an issue with the plugin and support met with me several times and worked to solve it quickly. Very highly recommended.

I had a problem with the settings of a rule that caused a bug in other plugins. I asked for support and immediatly a call was booked and the problem was identified and solved in 10 min.

If you activate the plugin and apply a discount to shop, the plugin change the original price of the product, when you disable it the discount price still there so you have to change manually all the prices again. There is no option to reset the prices again so if you have 2000 products is a hard work This topic was modified 4 years, 8 months ago by uomiguel.

After trying like hundreds of plugins, I stumbled upon this one. This is the best plugin that provides category discount in free version. Interface is very easy to use and there are no complex settings to configure. No bullshit or anything just straight up categories discount in free version. Works like a charm!

After I try a dozen discount plugins, I found that Elex was the best option for my client’s online store. But we had an issue where the discounts were being applied when they should not. They support did not rest until they have fixed the issue. The UI is easy to use and setup the discounts. The free version is great for general purposes and simple discount rules, and even some mid-complex ones.
