CampaignBay is the discount and promotions engine built for serious WooCommerce stores.

Most WooCommerce stores rely on basic coupon codes and leave significant revenue on the table. CampaignBay replaces that approach with a structured campaign system: automated discounts that activate on schedule, reward the right customers, and display beautifully on your product and cart pages.

No coupon codes to share. No manual price edits. No missed start times. You configure the campaign once, and CampaignBay handles the rest.

Why store owners choose CampaignBay:

Fully automated – Campaigns start and stop on schedule without any manual intervention.
Built for performance – Multi-level caching keeps discount calculations fast, even on high-traffic stores.
Genuinely free – All core campaign types are available at no cost, with no usage limits.
A complete analytics suite – Track what’s working with a real-time dashboard built into your admin.
A dedicated Campaign Calendar – Visualize every active and upcoming promotion across Month, Week, and Year views.

Campaign Types

Scheduled Discounts

Run time-limited sales with automatic start and end dates. Choose a percentage or fixed amount, apply it to your entire store, specific products, or selected categories, and let CampaignBay activate and deactivate the campaign on your behalf. Ideal for Black Friday, seasonal clearances, and weekly specials.

Quantity Based Discounts

Reward customers for buying more with tiered bulk pricing. Set as many price tiers as you need – “Buy 3+, save 10%. Buy 6+, save 15%. Buy 11+, save 20%.” A pricing table is displayed directly on the product page so customers always understand the offer before adding items to their cart.

Early Bird Discounts

Create urgency around product launches and limited-time offers by discounting for the first X orders. Configure sequential discount tiers – the first 100 buyers get 50% off, the next 150 get 25% off – and let the slot counter do the selling for you. Usage counts adjust automatically when orders are cancelled or refunded.

BOGO (Buy One, Get One)

Run classic Buy X, Get X Free deals on any product or category. Free items are added directly to the cart as separate line items, clearly marked for the customer. The auto-add feature handles everything – no extra steps required from the shopper.

Analytics Dashboard

The CampaignBay dashboard gives you a complete view of your promotions performance without leaving WordPress.

KPI Cards – Active campaigns, total discount value given, discounted orders, and campaign-attributed revenue, all visible at a glance.
Interactive Charts – Line, bar, and pie chart visualizations across selectable date ranges.
Top Performing Campaigns – Ranked by usage and total discount value so you know what to repeat.
Recent Activity Log – A running record of campaign creation, updates, and changes.
Live and Upcoming Campaigns – At-a-glance status for what is running now and what is scheduled next.
Dashboard Calendar Widget – A compact calendar with dot indicators marking dates that have active campaigns.

Campaign Calendar

The Campaign Calendar is a dedicated planning and management view for your entire promotions schedule.

Three layout options – Switch between Month, Week, and Year views depending on your planning horizon.
Color-coded campaign bars – Each campaign type (Scheduled, Quantity, Early Bird, BOGO) displays in its own distinct color for instant identification.
Edit directly from the calendar – Click any campaign bar to open the editor without navigating away.
Campaign type filters – Toggle individual campaign types on and off to focus the view.
Upcoming and active indicators – Spot what is live right now and what is launching soon at a glance.

The Campaign Calendar makes it easy to spot scheduling conflicts, plan promotions around key dates, and maintain a clear picture of your full marketing calendar.

Targeting and Conditions

CampaignBay gives you precise control over which products receive a discount and which customers qualify.

Product Targeting:

Entire store – Apply the campaign to all products.
Specific products – Select individual products, including all variations of a variable product.
Specific categories – Target entire product categories, including subcategories.
Exclude items – Invert any targeting rule to apply the discount to everything except the selected products or categories.
Exclude sale items – Prevent CampaignBay discounts from stacking on products already marked on sale in WooCommerce.

Conditions:

Restrict campaigns to specific WordPress user roles – Wholesalers, VIPs, or any custom role.
Set usage limits so campaigns automatically expire after a set number of orders.
Apply campaign schedules so discounts only run within a defined date and time window.

Display and Messaging

Customers are more likely to act when they clearly understand the offer. CampaignBay handles all storefront display automatically.

Product page messages – Configurable promotional banners with dynamic placeholders like {percentage_off}, {remaining_slots}, and {buy_quantity}.
Strikethrough pricing – Original prices displayed with strikethrough, discounted prices shown in their place.
Quantity discount table – A pricing tier table displayed on product pages, with the customer’s current qualifying tier highlighted.
Cart integration – Per-item discount messages, BOGO free item lines at $0, and a discount breakdown in the order summary.
Next-tier upsell messaging – Prompt customers approaching a quantity threshold with how many more items they need to unlock the next discount level.

Performance

Discount calculations run on every product load and cart update, so performance is a core design concern – not an afterthought.

Multi-level caching – Active campaigns are cached in memory to eliminate redundant database queries.
Efficient cart processing – Discount logic runs in a single cart pass, minimizing overhead on checkout.
WP-Cron scheduling – Campaign activation and deactivation is handled via WordPress Cron, with no performance cost to the storefront.
