How to set prices as a minimum price / from price

Hello there,

I understand you’d like to display a price range for a product/service.

It seems your ferry service does not need to use Variable product. I searched a bit and found this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50502449/set-price-range-on-woocommerce-products-without-setting-up-variables.

Perhaps this is what you want to achieve? If so, you can use a plugin like Code Snippets (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/code-snippets/) to add the code.

Let me know if you need further help.

Hi Prin,

Thanks for your help, the code doesn’t seem to do the trick. Maybe because we have external / affiliate products.

Maybe we would need to look at a booking plugin I guess.

If you have any other ideas please let me know!

Thanks for the help anyways!

Best,

Jan Willem

Hello Jan,

I changed the code a bit. It should work for External/Affiliate products now.

// Add a custom field for price range to product in backend
add_action( 'woocommerce_product_options_pricing', 'add_field_product_options_pricing' );
function add_field_product_options_pricing() {
    global $post;

    echo '<div class="options_group show_if_external">';

    woocommerce_wp_text_input( array(
        'id'            => '_max_price_for_range',
        'label'         => __('Max price for range', 'woocommerce').' ('.get_woocommerce_currency_symbol().')',
        'placeholder'   => __('Set the max price for range', 'woocommerce'),
        'description'   => __('Set the max price for range, to activate it…', 'woocommerce'),
        'desc_tip'      => 'true',
    ));

    echo '</div>';
}

// Save product custom field to database when submitted in Backend
add_action( 'woocommerce_process_product_meta', 'save_product_options_custom_fields', 30, 1 );
function save_product_options_custom_fields( $post_id ){
    // Saving custom field value
    if( isset( $_POST['_max_price_for_range'] ) ){
        update_post_meta( $post_id, '_max_price_for_range', sanitize_text_field( $_POST['_max_price_for_range'] ) );
    }
}

// Frontend: display a price range when the max price is set for the product
add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_price_html', 'custom_range_price_format', 10, 2 );
function custom_range_price_format( $price, $product ) {

    // Only for external/affiliate product type
    if( $product->is_type('external') ){
        // Get the max price for range
        $max_price = get_post_meta( $product->get_id(), '_max_price_for_range', true );

        if( empty($max_price) )
            return $price; // exit

        $active_price = wc_get_price_to_display( $product, array( 'price' => $product->get_price() ) );

        $price = sprintf( '%s &ndash; %s', wc_price($active_price), wc_price($max_price) );
    }
    return $price;
}

That worked! Thanks a lot! You can see it here now: https://ferrygogo.com/nl/overtocht/vlissingen-breskens/

Last remaining question: is it possible to display a small text that says ‘from’ (or in Dutch) ‘vanaf’ in front of the price? And if yes, how can I fix this.

I really appreciate the help, thanks a lot!

Hello again Jan,

I think this plugin will let you do that: WooCommerce RRP (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/woocommerce-rrp/).

There are also ways to do it with a snippet as well as CSS. You can read more here: https://bradley-davis.com/woocommerce-add-text-regular-sale-price/.

Hi @jwvantilburg

It looks like the site is using the Rehub theme, you can reach out to them for further assistance to add the text before the price.

I wanted to add one more piece of information, you can use the plugin:
Price Text for WooCommerce as well, you can add the text in bulk, by price range, by product categories, etc.

I hope this points you in the right direction.

We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved – we’ll be here if and/or when you are ready to continue.

Thanks.

Hi Igor,

Sorry for not responding, the plugin did the trick so thanks for the advice.

Best,

Jan Willem
