How to set up a sitewide percentage discount offer?

• Install and activate Offermative plugin.
• Then, log in using your email and password (automatically sent to your email).
• Enter some requirements under the Settings screen as shown – your target customers, their desires, the language you want to generate the offers, the maximum discount you want to provide, and any exclusions. Save your Settings. More about it here.



• Now you’ll see the Generate Offer Campaigns button. Click on it. You’ll have further two options:
  • Let Offermative decide option
  • Other offer types (you can choose multiple options)
• Select the ‘Sitewide discount - fixed or percentage’ option. You can also select other offer types. Click on Generate.



• Offermative will generate ten campaigns in one go each on click of the Generate Campaigns button. Click the same button to generate more campaigns.
• You’ll see your offer designs and the text already generated for you. All are editable. Use the arrows to navigate between campaigns if you don’t like any.



• Give a title to your offer, say ‘Flat 35% off everything’.
• Enter the discount amount.
• Select the pages where you want to show the offer.
• Choose the date range and time the offer will be shown to the visitors.
• Below is the TEXT section you can edit for the offer copy – headline, description, CTA…
• Since it’s a sitewide percentage discount sale and you want to show it to all users, do not set any rules. However, you can set some rules to show offers based on products, product category, cart total if you wish to.
• Select from multiple message types (mobile-optimized) to show you offers – pop-ups, slide-ins, header-footer bars, notification boxes…You can also test with different message types on different pages to see which converts better. View more about campaign generation.
• Tick the Approve checkbox and hit the Publish campaigns button.

That’s it.

When a visitor lands on your website, they will see the sale message. And when they add products to the cart, the discount will be automatically applied.

How to set up an upsell offer?

Here, you won’t offer a discount directly. Instead, you are offering a more value-driven product at some additional cost.

Indirectly, it’s a discount offer for customers when they calculate the benefits they get on buying a better product.

To set upsell offers, repeat the same steps you followed for the sitewide offer. The Rules and other things will change a bit.

• Enter the campaign title on the top.
• On the top-left of the campaign, enter the discount as zero. In case you wish to provide some discount, enter the value.
• Under FOR, enter the product you want to upsell. In this case, we want to upsell a ‘Smart Manager multi-site license’ when any user adds a ‘Smart Manager single site license’ to the shopping cart. Offermative also works with WooCommerce Subscriptions and other product types.
• Under ON PAGES, select the Cart page.
• Choose the date range and time the offer will be shown to the visitors.
• Under RULES, set the rules as follows:
  • Cart Does Not Contain Product = Smart Manager – Multi site which is obvious.
  • Cart Contains Product = Smart Manager – Single site on which you want to show the upsell offer.
• You can also set up multiple rules based on cart total, customer purchase history, customer LTV to show the upsell offer. The offer will be shown only when all the condition rule groups are satisfied. You can also edit the campaign rules.
• Under the MESSAGES section, we select the Popup message type.
• You can click on the Pencil icon to customize each message type for colors, fonts, buttons and other CSS elements.
• Publish your campaign.

That’s it. Your WooCommerce cart upsell offer is ready. Here’s how your upsell popup would look:

How to set up a bulk discount offer?
