2024 has been an incredible year for BeePlugin! We’ve worked hard to make managing discounts on WooCommerce stores easier and more efficient. 

By fixing key issues, improving our tools, and combining our best plugins into one powerful solution, we’ve helped online store owners run their businesses more smoothly.

In this blog, we’ll take you through our biggest achievements of the year, the updates we’ve made, and how they’re making a difference for WooCommerce store owners like you.

What We Accomplished in 2024

1. Combined Three Plugins into One Powerful Tool

One of our most exciting updates this year was merging three of our top plugins—Discount on Cart-Total, User-Role Based Discount, and Retail Discount—into a single, all-in-one tool: the Custom WooCommerce Discount Plugin. This simplifies managing discounts and gives you everything you need in one place.

Key Features of the Custom WooCommerce Discount Plugin:

• Discount on Cart Total: Offer discounts when a customer’s cart reaches a certain amount, encouraging them to buy more.
• User Role-Based Discounts: Give special discounts to specific groups, like loyal customers or wholesale buyers.
• Retail Discounts: Create flexible discounts like percentage-offs, fixed amounts, or BOGO (Buy One, Get One Free) deals.
• Centralized Management: Manage all your discount rules in one dashboard for easy control.
• Enhanced Reporting: Get detailed reports to track your discount campaigns and improve them.

“Our goal with this update was to simplify discount management and help WooCommerce store owners grow their sales with less hassle.” – CEO of BeePlugin

2. Fixed VAT Calculation for Discounts

Taxes can be tricky, especially when discounts are involved. Many WooCommerce stores faced issues with VAT not being applied correctly to discounted items. This year, we fixed this problem to make tax calculations accurate and transparent.

Why This Matters:

• Accurate Tax Calculations: VAT is now applied correctly to discounted prices.
• Tax Compliance: Keeps your store aligned with tax regulations.
• Customer Trust: Shows the correct pricing during checkout, building confidence.
• Smooth Accounting: This makes financial reporting much easier for store owners.

This fix has helped store owners save time and avoid confusion with taxes.

3. Added Discounts for Variable Products

We introduced a new feature that allows you to set discounts for specific product variations, like certain sizes, colors, or styles.

Why It’s Useful:

• More Flexibility: Target discounts for specific product options.
• Clear Out Inventory: Move slow-selling variations more easily.
• Increase Sales: Attract customers with personalized offers that match their preferences.

For example, you can now offer discounts only on the “large size” or “red color” version of a product. This gives you more control over your sales strategy.

4. Improved Security and Performance

Behind the scenes, we focused on making our plugin safer and faster.

Key Improvements:

• Better Security: Enhanced coding practices to protect your store from vulnerabilities.
• Faster Plugin Performance: The plugin now runs more smoothly, reducing delays.
• Fewer Errors: Fixed bugs to ensure everything works reliably.

While these updates may not be flashy, they’re critical for keeping your store running without hiccups.

5. Upgraded the User Interface (UI)

A tool is only as good as it is easy to use. That’s why we redesigned the Custom WooCommerce Discount Plugin to make it more user-friendly.

What’s New:

• Smoother Navigation: Quickly find and set up discounts without frustration.
• Professional Design: A cleaner and more modern look for a better experience.
• Easier to Use: Even beginners can now set up discounts with confidence.

These changes ensure that store owners of all experience levels can take full advantage of the plugin’s features.
