In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to set up percentage pricing with WCB Configurator Builder step-by-step.
What is WCB Configurator Builder?
WCB Configurator Builder is a powerful tool that integrates with WooCommerce to let you build interactive product configurators. It allows your customers to customize products visually and see price updates in real-time based on their selections.
With the addition of percentage pricing, you can apply flexible price rules based on product attributes, options, or quantities, automatically adjusting prices as customers interact with your product builder.
Why use percentage-based pricing in WooCommerce?
Percentage pricing is ideal for:
- Applying markup or discounts based on selected options
- Scaling prices for bulk quantities or complex builds
- Avoiding manual price calculations
- Enhancing upselling opportunities
It’s especially useful when your product configurations are dynamic and can’t be pre-priced individually.
How to set up WooCommerce percentage prices
Follow these steps to configure percentage-based pricing:
1. Install and activate WCB Configurator Builder
If you haven’t already:
- Go to your WordPress dashboard
- Navigate to Plugins > Add New
- Search for WCB Configurator Builder
- Install and activate the plugin
2. Create a product
- Go to Products > Add New
- Set your product type to Simple or Variable
- Add product title, price and description

3. Add configurator options
- Head over to WCB > Choices
- Create new choices (e.g., Choose Material, Select Color, Add Extras)
- In each choice, add your options (e.g., Oak, Walnut, Gloss Finish)
4. Enable percentage-based pricing
Each field in WCB can have its own pricing logic:
- In the price settings, choose “Percentage price”
- For each option, enter the percentage (e.g., +10% or -5%)
- The percentage is applied to the base product price
Example:
Base Price = $100
Selected option = “Premium Wood” with +20%
Final Price = $120
You can also base the percentage price on another field price instead of product base price. Simply select your field in the Percentage price field
5. Preview and test the configurator
- Use the built-in preview tool
- Select different options and watch the price update automatically
- Make sure all percentage rules calculate correctly

FAQ
Can I combine fixed and percentage pricing in the same configuration?
Yes, you can apply both fixed amount and percentage-based pricing to different fields within the same product configuration. This allows for more advanced and flexible pricing strategies.
Will percentage pricings work with discounts or coupon codes?
Yes. Since WCB modifies the product price, WooCommerce’s discounts, coupons, and tax rules will still apply as expected after configurator selections are made.
