Athenian Pricing Tiers
product details.
Athenian Pricing Tiers adds quantity pricing rules, product-page tier displays, and structured tier data for WooCommerce and connected Athenian workflows. It helps teams encourage larger purchases, expose clear price breaks, and keep tier logic available to carts, quotes, vendors, and analytics while keeping data, permissions, and automation aligned with the broader Athenian Platform Ecosystem.
Athenian Pricing Tiers is a WooCommerce quantity-pricing module for defining, displaying, importing, exporting, and integrating tiered pricing rules across simple products, variable products, variations, storefront product pages, cart upsell messaging, and broader Athenian Platform pricing workflows.
The plugin makes bulk pricing easier to manage operationally. Merchants can configure fixed unit-price tiers or percentage-discount tiers directly inside WooCommerce product and variation editing flows. Shoppers can see clean bulk-pricing cards on product pages, click a tier to update the quantity field, and understand how ordering more can unlock better per-unit pricing.
For catalog teams, Athenian Pricing Tiers keeps tier data portable through WooCommerce CSV import/export columns. For developers and platform components, it exposes normalized tier rules through Tiered Pricing Table-compatible metadata and filters, allowing broader pricing systems such as PriceDelegate, role-discount logic, cart extensions, and Athenian Platform Core workflows to consume consistent quantity-break data.
Within the Athenian commerce ecosystem, Pricing Tiers is best positioned as the quantity-break authoring and merchandising layer. It does not try to replace the entire pricing engine; instead, it provides a focused tier-pricing source of truth that can support storefront UI, product imports, delegated price calculation, role-aware pricing, and cart-line upsell messaging.
Commerce Catalog Pricing
Manage Quantity-Based Pricing Inside WooCommerce Product Workflows
Athenian Pricing Tiers gives merchants a practical way to define fixed-price
or percentage-discount quantity breaks for simple products, variable product
parents, and individual variations without relying on scattered spreadsheets
or one-off custom fields.
| Pricing Surface | Operational Value |
|---|---|
| Simple Products | Add tier controls directly into the WooCommerce product pricing area for straightforward bulk-pricing setup. |
| Variable Products | Add a dedicated Tiered Pricing product data panel for parent-level quantity rules on variable products. |
| Variation Rules | Allow individual variations to define their own tier mode, minimum quantity, and quantity-break rows. |
| Open-Ended Tiers | Support final tier bands such as 25+ by storing blank or null upper bounds instead of invalid zero values. |
- Supports tier modes using
fixedunit pricing orpercentagediscount pricing. - Stores canonical tier data in familiar WooCommerce/Tiered Pricing Table-style keys such as
_tiered_price_rules_type,_tiered_price_minimum_qty,_fixed_price_rules, and_percentage_price_rules. - Normalizes rows with
qty_from, optionalqty_to, andpricevalues. - Integrates with WooCommerce product and variation save hooks for merchant-friendly tier management.

| Storefront Layer | How It Helps |
|---|---|
| Product Page Blocks | Renders a Bulk pricing block before the add-to-cart form or later in the product summary as a fallback. |
| Variable Fallback | For variable products, attempts to display parent tiers first, then default or first child variation tiers when available. |
| PriceDelegate Hook | Applies apt_tier_unit_price so delegated pricing systems can adjust effective tier prices before display. |
| Blocks Cart Messaging | Reads WooCommerce Blocks cart data and Athenian Platform Core extension payloads to show next-tier upsell pills. |
- Renders tier card attributes such as
data-apt-tier-fromanddata-apt-tier-tofor frontend quantity behavior. - Uses product regular price comparisons where possible to calculate savings labels.
- Supports final manipulation of tier card data through
apt_tier_blocks. - Includes WooCommerce Blocks cart upsell assets that can read tier and next-tier data from
extensions.apc,extensions.APC, orextensions.AthAPC.
Pricing Data Integration
Keep Tier Rules Portable Across CSV, Filters, and Athenian Pricing Workflows
Athenian Pricing Tiers keeps quantity-pricing data operationally portable
by supporting WooCommerce CSV round-trips, Tiered Pricing Table-compatible
rule output, product minimum quantity filters, role-discount integration
surfaces, and Athenian Platform pricing hooks.
| Integration Layer | Operational Purpose |
|---|---|
| CSV Export | Adds WooCommerce product export columns for tier type, minimum quantity, fixed rules JSON, and percentage rules JSON. |
| CSV Import | Maps friendly and meta-style import column names, parses JSON or serialized rule payloads, and writes tier metadata after product insertion. |
| Compatibility Filters | Publishes normalized fixed-price tiers through tiered_pricing_table_rules for pricing components that expect that rule shape. |
| Platform Hooks | Provides integration points for minimum quantities, unit price adjustment, final tier blocks, role discounts, and APC/PriceDelegate-style workflows. |
Quantity pricing as a reusable data layer:
Pricing Tiers gives WooCommerce stores one structured source for bulk
pricing that can be edited by merchants, displayed to shoppers, moved
through CSV operations, and consumed by broader Athenian pricing systems.
- Adds CSV columns such as
apt_tiered_price_type,apt_tiered_price_min_qty,apt_fixed_price_rules_json, andapt_percentage_price_rules_json. - Supports integration filters including
apt/product_min_qty,apt_tier_unit_price,apt_tier_blocks, andath/apc/role_discount_for_price. - Includes bundled role-discount components and the shortcode name
'role_discount_display', but runtime wiring should be confirmed before marketing that surface as active production behavior. - Builds toward consistent modular bootstrapping, settings screens, server-side Store API next-tier data, tier-copy tools, WP-CLI repair/import utilities, tier performance analytics, and cost-aware tier recommendations through APIC.
