💲 Magento 2 Pricing & Discounts – Set Prices Like a Pro

Magento 2 offers several powerful features for pricing and discounts, allowing you to offer promotions, set tiered prices, and create dynamic pricing rules based on various factors like customer groups, quantity, or products. Let’s dive in!

🏷️ Catalog Price Rules

Catalog Price Rules allow you to apply discounts to products in the catalog based on conditions like category, product attributes, and more.

  1. Go to Marketing > Catalog Price Rule
  2. Click Add New Rule
  3. Set the Rule Name, Description, and Status to “Active”
  4. In the Conditions tab, set the conditions for applying the rule (e.g., apply to specific categories or products)
  5. In the Actions tab, choose the discount type (e.g., Fixed Amount, Percent Discount, or Special Price)

🛒 Cart Price Rules

Cart Price Rules are discounts applied during the checkout process. These can be based on the cart contents, subtotal, or customer group.

  1. Go to Marketing > Cart Price Rules
  2. Click Add New Rule
  3. Enter the Rule Name, Description, and select the Customer Groups the rule applies to
  4. In the Conditions tab, set the conditions for applying the discount (e.g., apply when a certain product is in the cart)
  5. In the Actions tab, set the discount amount, either as a fixed amount or percentage
  6. Click Save

💰 Special Pricing for Customer Groups

Magento 2 allows you to set special prices for specific customer groups. This can be especially useful for offering discounts to loyal customers or members of a specific group.

  1. Go to Customers > Customer Groups
  2. Click Add New Group to create a new customer group
  3. Assign specific discounts to this group from the Price Rules settings or individual product pricing
  4. Use the Group Price field in the product page to set different prices for different groups

$rule->setName('10% Discount for VIP Customers')
     ->setDescription('Apply 10% discount for VIP customers')
     ->setConditionsSerialized(serialize([
        'conditions' => [
