✅ Issue Summary
A user reported that when they apply a discount using Disco, the discount works (i.e., the product price is reduced), but there’s no visible indication like a badge, bubble, or message showing that the product is on discount.
This leads to confusion as the discount is not communicated to shoppers.
Common Scenario
Plugin Used: Disco – WooCommerce Dynamic Pricing and Discount
User Action: Applied a discount rule successfully
Result: Sale price appears on the product page, but no visual cue (e.g., badge, bubble, label) is shown
Expectation: Some sort of on-product indicator of the offer or discount
Clarification
Disco applies discounts at the price level by adjusting:
- The regular price (shown with strikethrough)
- The sale price (displayed normally)
However, as of now:
Disco currently does not support visual elements like discount badges, bubbles, or promotional tags on product listing or single product pages. These features are planned for a future release as part of our upcoming Block Design.
Current Behavior
| Feature | Status |
|---|---|
| Discount calculation | ✅ Works correctly |
| Sale price display | ✅ Works correctly |
| Visual badge or offer message | ❌ Not supported yet |
Workaround Suggestions
If showing a visual cue for discounts is important right now, you can consider the following workarounds:
1. Use a Badge Plugin Alongside Disco
Use a third-party WooCommerce badge plugin to show “On Sale”, “% Off”, or “Limited Time Offer” on discounted products.
For example:
- Advanced Product Labels for WooCommerce
- Sale Flash Badge Customizer
2. Customize Your Theme
With developer help, your theme can display:
- A custom badge if
sale_price < regular_price - Conditional messages on product loop pages using hooks
3. Wait for the Official Feature
We are currently working on visual discount indicators, and badges/annotations will be released in a future update.
💬 Customer Support Response Example
“If you’re requesting a specific badge or annotation feature, please share a reference screenshot. For now, our plugin only applies price-level discounts. We’ll be releasing visual badges in an upcoming update.”
This case illustrates a common misunderstanding: Disco applies dynamic pricing effectively, but does not yet include promotional visuals.
If you need that now, temporary solutions are available using third-party tools. Stay tuned for upcoming updates that include this feature.
