hypemediasystem Sale Rules for WooCommerce

Managing WooCommerce sale prices manually is slow and risky when you have many products. hypemediasystem Sale Rules lets store owners create scheduled discount campaigns, import sale prices by SKU, clean up managed discounts safely, and run cart 2+1 (cheapest free) rules by category. This is for catalogs that change prices on tens, hundreds, or thousands of products. Catalog campaigns write sale prices on products. Cart rules apply only in the cart and checkout. Best for

• Fashion and apparel drops
• Electronics catalogs
• Seasonal campaigns
• Black Friday and Cyber Monday
• Clearance and end-of-season sales
• Category 2+1 free promotions in the cart

What it does

• Writes percentage or fixed sale prices onto matching WooCommerce products
• Targets product categories and brands
• Excludes individual products or tags
• Schedules campaign start and end dates
• Imports regular prices and sale prices from Excel or CSV by SKU
• Applies rules in batches, with an admin progress screen
• Marks plugin-managed sale prices with its own metadata
• Cleans up ineligible or expired prices the plugin applied
• Syncs an optional sale category
• Provides WP-CLI commands for apply, cleanup, and repair
• Works with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS)
• Cart discount rules: 2+1 free — every 3 products from a category, the cheapest unit is free

WooCommerce must be installed and active. What it does not do

• It does not create WooCommerce coupons
• It does not replace a full B2B or dynamic pricing engine
• It does not silently overwrite unrelated sale prices you set by hand
• Cart 2+1 rules do not write _sale_price on products; they discount the cart total

Safe workflow

1. Test on staging first, with a catalog similar to production.
2. Create a campaign rule or import sale prices by SKU.
3. Apply in batches from the admin screen or WP-CLI.
4. The plugin writes _sale_price through the WooCommerce product API and stores metadata on products it manages.
5. When a campaign ends or a product is no longer eligible, run cleanup so only plugin-managed sale prices are removed.

WP-CLI examples Apply every active campaign, or one rule: wp hypemediasystem-sale-rules apply wp hypemediasystem-sale-rules apply --discount-id=5 Preview or remove plugin-managed sale prices: wp hypemediasystem-sale-rules cleanup --dry-run wp hypemediasystem-sale-rules cleanup --all Repair products that have an active schedule but the wrong sale price: wp hypemediasystem-sale-rules repair_all --batch=100
