Badge rules

In the Badge rules tab, you will be able to see a list with all the badge rules you have created so far and you can add new ones with the Add Badge Rule button. For each badge rule, you can decide to enable/disable it, edit it, clone it or delete it.

From the same section, you can also search badge rules through the related field and apply bulk actions to enable, disable, and delete them.

We’ll analyze each badge rule type in the following sections:

• Products badge
• Category badge
• Tag badge
• Shipping class

This rule type can be used to assign a badge to all or specific products and manage automatic assignment for recent products, low stock and bestsellers. Let’s analyze its settings:

After clicking on Add badge rule, you will be able to select the rule type. In this case, we will select “Products badge“.

Now you can start configuring the options to create your rule to automatically apply badges to your products.

• Rule name: give a name to the rule you are creating to identify it among the others;
• Active rule: choose whether the rule will be enabled or disabled. This can be changed in the Badge rules list;
• Assign a badge to: select the products to which the rule will apply: all products, only recent products, on-sale, featured, in-stock, out-of-stock or low-stock products, back-order products, bestsellers;
• Exclude products: enable if you want to exclude one or more products from this rule;
• Excluded products: add the products you want to be excluded from the badge rule;
• Badge to assign: select the badge that will be assigned to products of this rule;
• Schedule rule: enable if you want to show the badge only on a specific date range;
• Schedule rule from: define the start and end date to show the badge.

  Recent products badge

To show the badges on recent products only, select Only recent products and enter the number of days to be taken into account to apply the badge. E.g. by inserting the value 5 in Assign badge to product newer than the badge will apply only to products published in the last 5 days.

Low-stock products badge

To show the badges only on products with low stock, select Low stock products and enter the quantity to be taken into account to apply the badge. E.g. by inserting the value 3 in Low stock quantity the badge will apply only to products with a stock equal to 3 or lower.

Bestseller products badge

To show the badges only on bestseller products, select Bestsellers and enter the number of products on which show the badge. E.g. by inserting the value 5 in Bestsellers, the badge will apply to the first 5 bestseller products.

Users

When creating the rule, you will be able to decide the users and/or user roles to whom the badges will be visible. Through the option Show badge to choose whether the badge will be shown to all users or specific users only. Add users and/or user roles in the dedicated fields as shown below.

Assign badges manually

To assign a badge to a specific product of the shop, go to its editing page and add one or more badges you have created from the metabox “Product Badge”.

You can also schedule when the badge will show by specifying the start and end date.

You can also assign and remove the badge(s) from the product quick edit as shown below.

In case you want to hide the badge on the product detail page, enable the option Hide badges in single product pages that you find in the plugin General settings.

If you want to show and schedule a different badge for each variation, go to the product edit page and set the options available within its variations.

For example, if you have applied the badge new to the variable product but you want to show an additional badge (100cotton) on one of its variations (large), go to the specific variation, select the badge you want to show, and optionally schedule the date range when this badge will show.

When users will select the variation large, this is what they’ll see.

Advance badges

By default, the “advanced badge” will only be shown if all the configured variations have the same discount percentage/amount.

However, this behavior can change based on the settings configured in the tab General settings > Extra > Show advanced badges in variable products.

This option will allow you to decide which advance badge should be shown in a variable product when there is no specific variation displayed.

Besides the default option, you can decide to whether show the minimum or maximum percentage among all the available variations.

Below, two examples of how the advanced badge applies based on the selected variation:
