WooCommerce Offer Your Price
Grow sales by empowering customers to pay at their desired price
This WooCommerce Name Your Price (Product Open Pricing / Pay Your Price) plugin lets you create a “pay what you want” (PWYW), “name your price” or “donation based” pricing system.
Let customers pay what they want with WooCommerce Name Your Price plugin
Research has shown that when people are able to set their own custom prices, almost everyone pays something – and sometimes well over the suggested price.
What’s better than letting your customers decide how much they would like to spend? Look, customers emotionally get attached to the products they want to buy. But what keeps them away from buying it is the price.
Won’t it be great if you could allow customers to set a custom price or let them pay at their own price? This is a solid marketing tactic to grab their attention and make customers feel they have complete freedom over the purchase. Like a virtual bargain. Customers feel you trust them.
StoreApps’ WooCommerce Name Your Price plugin (called as Offer Your Price) lets you be flexible in what price you are willing to accept for selected products. Accept WooCommerce donations, suggest a price to your customers and optionally enforce a minimum acceptable price, or leave it entirely in the hands of the customer.
-
Set a minimum price to avoid losses
Customers can either buy at the listed price or make an offer. If the offered price is higher than the minimum bidding price threshold you’ve set, the offer is accepted and the customer is emailed a coupon immediately. If not, a counter offer is sent.
-
WooCommerce donations / crowdfunding
Members can donate any amount they want, as long as it’s higher than your set minimum. People can also invest in your new project. The plugin does not offer a complete WooCommerce crowdfunding system, but can still be used as a simple alternative.
-
Find what customers wish to pay
You’ll immediately find out what price customers are willing to pay. You can then decide final pricing based on actual data – rather than a hunch!
-
Customize the ‘Name Your Price’ button text
‘Name Your Own Price’, ‘Pay Your Price’, ‘Offer Your Price’ ‘Donate for a cause’…whatever you feel like, you can change the offer button text.
-
Set rules across price ranges
Set rules to offer varying discount rates for different product price ranges. Like 0 to 99.99, 100 to 199.99; and so on to avoid overlap.
-
Stop nosy negotiators
Customers may make only one offer for the product. If they try to make another offer, they will be sent the result of the original offer itself.
How does the “WooCommerce Name Your Price” plugin work?
Using WooCommerce Name Your Price plugin is very simple. Install and activate the plugin and set some rules. That’s it. No coding required.
The best part, along with simple products, the plugin also works with WooCommerce product variations.
Enable Name Your Price per product or storewide
Creating a “Name Your Price” enabled product is straightforward. Under Products > General, go to the “Offer Your Price” section and you will be able to enter the minimum prices for your product (or a particular variation). You can set “Offer Your Price” for all products as well.
All the text that your customer will see on the product page ( such as Add to Cart, Name Your Price, Suggested Price, etc.) can all be changed from the plugin’s options without coding.
Now, let’s see what happens when a customer comes to your website and views a product.
User enters Custom Price
Customer likes the product, but does not want to pay the listed price. And clicks on the ‘Offer You Price’ button. Customer sees the popup and enters his / her price in the ‘My Offer’ field.
An acknowledgment message is shown.
Intelligent Price Match
If the customer defined offer is greater than the minimum price you have set, the Offer Your Price plugin processes the offer and instantly sends an acceptance email with coupon code to the customer.
And if the custom price/user defined price was below the set minimum price, a counter offer is sent to the customer.
Name Your Price plugin Dashboard
Based on the price the customer suggests, or what offers are automatically accepted, the dashboard lists all.
Giving buyers the freedom to pay what they want may seem to not make much sense for a seller, but in some situations, it can be very successful. This is because it eliminates many disadvantages of conventional pricing.
It is obviously attractive to buyers to be able to pay whatever they want, for reasons that include eliminating the fear of whether a product is worthwhile at a given set price and the related risk of disappointment or “buyer’s remorse”.
Some successful ‘Name Your Price’ examples and why it works
‘Name your Price’ or ‘Pay What You Want’ changes an adversarial conflict between seller and buyer into a friendly exchange, and addresses the fact that value perceptions and price sensitivities can vary widely among buyers.
When the notions of partnership, community, donation are highlighted, buyers are likely to pay more on average for PWYW products than when the focus is on special deals and promotions.
One particularly successful example of Name Your Price that gained a lot of publicity at the time, was the release of Radiohead’s In Rainbows album under a pay what you want model.
Another example is Panera Bread Co.’s St. Louis cafe that offers a bowl of turkey chili for which customers set their own price.

How & when are discount coupons generated & sent?
A discount coupon will be created and emailed to customers in the following two cases.
Let’s assume product price – $120, minimum price set by store owner – $100
- If the price entered by the customer (say $110) is greater than or equal to the minimum allowed price, a coupon with an amount equal to difference in price of the product & price entered by customer will be generated. (Coupon worth $120 – $110 = $10)
- If the price entered by the customer (say $90) is less than the minimum allowed price, a coupon with an amount equal to difference in price of the product & minimum allowed price set, will be generated. (Coupon worth $120 – $100 = $20)
