Heartly vs Discount Rules for WooCommerce

01 · About Discount Rules for WooCommerce

What is Discount Rules for WooCommerce?

Discount Rules for WooCommerce from Flycart is the most installed dynamic pricing plugin in the WooCommerce ecosystem, with 100,000+ active installs and a 4.9 star rating across 1,339 reviews on WordPress.org as of July 2026. It handles bulk and quantity breaks, tiered pricing, cart and order total conditions, storewide percentages, and time-limited offers. The Pro tier adds BOGO, bundles, user role pricing, and location rules.

Discount Rules answers what the price should be. Heartly answers how the sale gets seen, how long it lasts, and what happens when stock runs out. A Discount Rules offer lives in the cart and applies silently. A Heartly flash sale is an event with a page, a countdown, a stock indicator, and a public listing.

03

Why merchants run Discount Rules and Heartly together

Discount Rules is strongest at standing offers that apply to everyone all the time: buy three save fifteen percent, wholesale tiers by user role, free shipping over a threshold. Heartly is strongest at the campaign that runs from Friday 18:00 until 400 units are gone. A typical WooCommerce shop keeps Discount Rules for the everyday pricing logic and reaches for Heartly when it wants an event with a deadline.

04

A discount rule has no audience

A time-limited rule in Discount Rules applies at checkout to whoever happens to arrive. It has no page to link, no countdown a shopper can see before adding to cart, and no listing outside the store. Heartly gives the sale a URL that renders correctly in WhatsApp and email, a visible timer, a stock bar, and a slot on deals.heartly.io that ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews can cite.

05

Scarcity the server enforces

Heartly reads live inventory from WooCommerce or Shopify and closes the campaign when the last unit sells, then swaps the page for a tombstone that points at the next sale. The countdown reflects the state of the sale rather than sitting beside it.

06

Both platforms, one dashboard

Discount Rules is a WordPress plugin and covers WooCommerce. Heartly covers WooCommerce and Shopify with the same features and the same flat price, so a merchant running both platforms plans one campaign instead of two.

07

PAngV compliance for DACH shops

German price indication law requires the 30-day lowest price beside any advertised discount. Heartly tracks price history per variant and prints the figure on the sale page automatically. Merchants applying percentage rules across a catalog calculate that floor themselves, per product, every time they run a promotion.

08 · Pricing

Pricing.

Discount Rules is free on WordPress.org with a Pro licence sold per site per year. Heartly is €29 Basic, €59 Plus, and €99 Pro per month across Shopify and WooCommerce. The two rarely compete on budget because they cover different jobs: one prices the catalog, the other runs the event.
