Smart Cycle Discounts – Scheduled, Recurring & AI-Built Pricing Campaigns for WooCommerce vs YayPricing – WooCommerce Dynamic Pricing & Discounts

Automated dynamic pricing and scheduled sales for WooCommerce. Smart Cycle Discounts lets you create a discount campaign in minutes and run it on autopilot — sale prices apply on schedule, conflicts are caught before they cost you money, and your prices revert cleanly when the sale ends. Cycle AI — describe the sale you want in plain English and the AI drafts a complete campaign in seconds. It reads your real catalog, picks the right products and discount type, and drops everything into the wizard for your review. Keep chatting to refine (“make it 25% instead,” “limit to 200 uses”) and launch when you’re ready. No more editing products one by one. No more forgetting to end a sale. No more wondering which discount is overriding which. Pick your discount type (percentage off, BOGO, tiered pricing, and more), choose your products, set your schedule, and the plugin handles the rest — from activation to expiration, automatically. A built-in setup wizard scans your store on first install, detects conflicting plugins, and walks you through creating your first campaign. Most merchants are up and running in under 3 minutes.

Popular WooCommerce Promotion Use Cases Smart Cycle Discounts can be used to run: WooCommerce BOGO campaigns WooCommerce bulk discount and tiered pricing campaigns WooCommerce scheduled sales and recurring promotions WooCommerce bundle discount campaigns and product packages WooCommerce flash sales and seasonal campaigns WooCommerce customer-segment discounts (roles and locations) WooCommerce coupon code campaigns (private codes for email blasts, influencer codes, loyalty rewards) WooCommerce promotion cycles with planned campaign scheduling Why Store Owners Switch to Smart Cycle Discounts Most discount plugins let you create rules. Smart Cycle Discounts lets you run promotions. Common problems with other discount plugins: Discounts calculated on-the-fly slow your store to a crawl “Sale” filter plugins can’t find your discounted products Two discounts overlap and customers get double savings you didn’t intend The free version is empty — every useful feature is locked behind Pro Uninstalling leaves leftover sale tags and data in your database How Smart Cycle Discounts is different: Sale badges and strikethrough on your storefront — discounts render through WooCommerce’s price filters, so your theme’s “Sale!” badge and crossed-out pricing appear automatically on shop, category, product, and search pages. No frontend JavaScript, and no bulk price rewrites on activation — active-campaign data is cached and product terms batch-loaded to keep pages fast. Built-in conflict detection — Campaign Intelligence catches overlapping discounts, priority ties, and pricing risks before your customers do. You’ll know about problems before they cost you money. Genuinely useful free version — percentage off, fixed amount, BOGO, scheduling, recurring campaigns, role targeting, and location targeting are all included free. No bait-and-switch. Clean uninstall — deactivating or removing the plugin restores your original prices and removes all plugin data. No leftover sale tags or orphaned database entries. Performance-first architecture — active campaigns are cached, product terms are batch-loaded, and admin assets only load on plugin pages. Your store stays fast.

Documentation Support Forum External Services This plugin’s Cycle AI feature (optional, opt-in) relies on a hosted AI service operated by Webstepper to generate campaign drafts from natural-language descriptions. What the service does. When you use Cycle AI, the plugin sends your typed prompt and a summary of your store catalog to Webstepper’s hosted endpoint at cycle-ai-proxy.usa-mv96.workers.dev. That endpoint verifies your plan tier with Freemius, enforces a per-plan usage quota, then forwards the request to OpenAI (api.openai.com). OpenAI generates the campaign draft, which is returned to your site and rendered in the Cycle AI chat panel for your review. The draft is never published as a live campaign until you explicitly approve and save it through the wizard. What data is sent. Your typed prompt and the conversation history for the current draft. A summary of your store catalog: product names, IDs, category names, tag names, and category product counts. Used so the AI can reference real products and categories when drafting campaigns. Your Freemius install ID, anonymous install UID, and (if you have a Pro license) your license secret key. Used to validate your plan tier and enforce quotas. What data is NOT sent. The plugin does not transmit customer names, customer email addresses, order data, transaction history, or any personally identifiable information about your shoppers. When data is sent. Only when you explicitly click a button that invokes Cycle AI (typing a prompt and pressing Send, or refining an existing draft). The plugin does not make any background calls to the service. Consent. Before the first Cycle AI call, the plugin shows a consent modal listing exactly what data will be sent and linking to Webstepper’s privacy policy and terms of service. No data is transmitted until you accept. You can revoke consent at any time by disabling the feature. Providers and policies.
