User Role-Based Pricing in WooCommerce Using ACF
Offering special pricing to specific user roles can help increase loyalty and conversions in your WooCommerce store. This guide shows how to configure role-based pricing using Advanced Custom Fields (ACF).
Step 1: Activate the ACF Plugin
Begin by installing and activating the Advanced Custom Fields plugin. It allows you to create flexible input fields, including role-specific pricing fields.
Step 2: Add a Repeater Field for Role Pricing
Go to Custom Fields > Add New and create a new Field Group. Within this group, add a Repeater Field named `custom_prices`, with sub-fields for `user_role` and `price`.
Step 3: Set Custom Prices per Role
Now edit your WooCommerce products. Under the ACF section, add price entries for each user role like wholesaler, retailer, or premium customer.
Step 4: Filter Product Price Based on User Role
Use the `woocommerce_product_get_price` filter to display a dynamic price based on the logged-in user’s role. Here’s the code:
function custom_price_by_user_role( $price, $product ) { $user = wp_get_current_user(); $roles = $user->roles; $role_prices = get_field( 'custom_prices', $product->get_id() ); if ( $role_prices ) { foreach ( $role_prices as $entry ) { if ( in_array( $entry['user_role'], $roles ) ) { return (float) $entry['price']; } } } return $price; } add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_get_price', 'custom_price_by_user_role', 10, 2 );
This function checks the user’s role and returns the matching custom price if available.
