About this plugin
CartMagic turns your WooCommerce store’s promotions into a managed, rule-based system. Instead of stacking up dozens of single-use coupons, you define discount rules — what triggers a discount, how big it is, when it applies — and CartMagic evaluates them at the cart and checkout for every customer automatically.
The free version covers the everyday discount types most stores need:
- Percentage discount — take 10%, 15%, 20% off the cart, with optional cap (e.g. “10% off, up to $50”).
- Fixed-amount discount — flat dollar / euro / rupee amount off the cart.
- Free shipping rule — give free shipping when the cart hits a threshold or matches a condition, without touching WooCommerce shipping zones.
- Cart conditions — combine cart total, item count, and other cart-aware filters with AND / OR logic to decide when a rule fires.
- Modern admin — a clean, fast React-based admin app inside WordPress. No 2010-era settings pages.
- REST API — every rule is reachable through a versioned REST API at /wp-json/cartmagic/v1/, so you can manage rules from anywhere.
- HPOS compatible — declares compatibility with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage, so it’s safe on modern WooCommerce installs.
- Translation-ready — text domain cartmagic,.pot file shipped in /languages/.
- Privacy-respecting — rules and usage data live in your own database. No phone-home, no third-party tracking by default.
Why CartMagic?
WooCommerce coupons are great for one-off codes. They are not great when you want to:
- Run a “10% off everything” sale store-wide for a weekend, without sending every customer a code.
- Offer free shipping above a threshold, without hand-editing shipping zones.
- Apply different discount logic to different cart conditions in a single, reviewable place.
CartMagic gives you a rules engine with a clear admin, so promotions become configurable instead of hard-coded.
Free vs Pro
The free plugin (this listing) ships everything you need for standard cart-level discounting:
- Percentage discount
- Fixed-amount discount
- Free shipping rule
- Cart total / item count conditions
The optional CartMagic Pro add-on layers on advanced promotion types and reporting:
- BOGO — buy X get Y configurations
- Bulk / tiered pricing — quantity-based price tiers
- Scheduled campaigns — start / end dates and time windows
- Customer segments — role-based, first-order, and other segment conditions
- Priority & stacking control — fine-grained rule ordering and combination rules
- Usage analytics — per-rule reporting and engagement metrics
- White-label admin — rebrand the admin panel for client work
The free plugin is fully usable without Pro. Pro is opt-in.
Built for developers
CartMagic exposes filters and actions so you can extend it without forking:
- cartmagic_evaluate_condition — short-circuit or override condition evaluation.
- cartmagic_matching_rules — filter the list of rules that match the current cart before discounts apply.
- cartmagic_register_rest_routes — hook in your own REST endpoints under cartmagic/v1.
- cartmagic_pro_features — used by the Pro add-on to register feature unlocks.
REST endpoints (admin-authenticated) include:

- GET / POST /wp-json/cartmagic/v1/settings
- GET /wp-json/cartmagic/v1/products/search and /categories/search
- GET /wp-json/cartmagic/v1/analytics/... (reads only; full reporting requires Pro)
