Custom Pricing & Discount Plugin for a WordPress Rental Website
🎯 Client’s Requirement
The client owned a rental-based e-commerce website where different products could be rented for specific days. They wanted to make their pricing system more flexible, dynamic, and user-friendly.
Here’s what the client needed:
- Product owners should be able to add three different pricing options for each product:
- When a customer rents a product, the total price should be calculated based on the number of selected rental days, using the appropriate pricing model with optional discounts.
- The pricing details and discounts should be clearly visible on the product page, so customers can understand the offers and make better rental decisions.
🛠 The Custom Solution
To solve this, I developed a fully custom WordPress plugin that achieved all the goals in a simple and efficient way.
1. Custom Pricing Fields in Owner Dashboard
I added three new input fields to the product upload/edit page:
- Price Per Day
- Price Per Week
- Price Per Month
These fields were built using WordPress custom meta boxes, and each price is saved with the product as custom meta data.
2. Automatic Price Calculation for Customers
When a user selects how many days they want to rent a product, the plugin automatically calculates the total cost like this:
- If selected days are 1–6: Total = Per Day Price × Total Days
- If selected days are 7–29: Total = Per Week Price × Total Days
- If selected days are 30 or more: Total = Per Month Price × Total Days
This calculation is done before adding the product to cart, so the user always sees the correct total with any discounts applied.
3. Clear Pricing & Discount Display on Product Page
Under each product title on the frontend, the plugin shows:
- Per Day, Per Week, and Per Month prices
- Discount or savings for longer rentals
- A simple layout that helps users understand their options and make smart rental choices
