What It Does

ELEX WooCommerce Role Based Pricing lets store owners assign different product prices to different WordPress user roles, such as wholesale buyers, members, or VIP customers. It integrates with WooCommerce so role-specific prices display automatically during shopping, and the listed tags indicate it can also hide prices for selected roles. In practice, a single product can carry distinct retail and wholesale prices that switch based on who is logged in.

Who It's For

This plugin suits WooCommerce stores that segment customers into defined user roles and need distinct pricing per segment, including B2B wholesalers, membership shops, and franchise networks. It works well for businesses where pricing tiers are tightly bound to WordPress roles rather than to complex rule conditions. Owners who already structure their site around wholesale, retail, and member accounts will find the most direct fit.

Who Should Skip It

Stores that only need simple flat-percentage discounts or coupon-based promotions will find this plugin heavier than necessary, and a lighter discount plugin will do the job. Sites that do not already use WordPress user roles to segment customers will not benefit, since the entire mechanism is role-driven. If you need advanced cart-level rules, tiered quantity breaks, or BOGO logic, look at a dedicated dynamic pricing engine instead.

The Bottom Line

ELEX WooCommerce Role Based Pricing delivers a focused solution for role-based pricing with strong maintenance signals, including a 2026 update and WordPress 6.9.4 compatibility. The small install base of 2,000 and a 33.3% support resolution rate raise mild concerns about long-term support depth. It is a solid pick for stores whose pricing model truly maps to user roles, but heavier B2B operations will likely want Wholesale Suite or Discount Rules for WooCommerce instead.
