As an eCommerce store owner you might want to define product rates based on specific users. You might want to give certain existing customers improved pricing options over others. For example, if a certain mug costs $20 you might want to sell the mug to a particular customer from the list of existing customers for $17. WooCommerce does not allow users to do so. Hence, there is a need for an extension for WooCommerce. Customer Specific Pricing is a plugin which offers to do just that.

Features that make Customer Specific Pricing worth using
- It allows to set define specific product prices for a registered customer.

How it works?
The website admin make settings in the dashboard to define a specific price for a particular customer. The list of customers that is available here is fetched from the list of customers who are registered with the eCommerce store. The option to set customer specific pricing is available in the Product Data Section of a product editing page. The following steps should be taken through to successfully set customer specific pricing.
- Step 1. Admin should go to the Customer Specific Pricing tab in Product Data settings as shown above.
- Step 2. Click on the ‘Add New Customer-Price Pair’ button if ‘Customer-Price’ setting is not available.
- Step 3. Select a ‘Customer Name’ from the drop-down list, and add a ‘Price’ for the customer.
- Step 4. Add new customer name and price pairs if you want to define specific prices for more customers.
- Step 5. Remember to ‘Publish/Update’ the product, to save the changes that have been made.
So, a simple product which costs $20 will now cost John $15 and it will cost Jane $17. Similarly many other customer can be added to the list of customer-price pair.
