Independent software for serious stores.
Every feature. Your price.
PerkRule builds software for online stores without turning capability into a pricing ladder. Product 001 is an advanced WooCommerce coupon rules and promotion engine built around native coupons, predictable stacking and checkout-safe behavior.
Software should keep you in control.
The product should make your store more capable without making your business more dependent. PerkRule is built around native platforms, understandable behavior and commercial terms that do not use feature access as leverage.
Keep ownership where it belongs
WooCommerce remains responsible for the things WooCommerce already does well. PerkRule extends native coupons instead of creating a parallel discount universe beside them.
Capability is not a pricing tier
The full product is the product. Useful functionality is not deliberately split into artificial editions just to make the version people actually need cost more.
Earn trust with evidence
Checkout behavior, compatibility, migrations and performance are treated as product features. Important claims should have engineering receipts behind them.
Advanced WooCommerce promotions. Native at the core.
PerkRule for WooCommerce turns native coupons into a rule-driven promotion system with advanced conditions, Auto Apply, priority and deterministic conflict handling while WooCommerce remains responsible for its own discount calculations.
- Advanced WooCommerce coupon rules and targeting
- Auto Apply using native WooCommerce coupon APIs
- Priority, stacking and Best Deal conflict planning
- Server-side behavior for Classic, Blocks and headless carts
The receipt sits next to the claim.
Most plugin pages say powerful, flexible and fast. PerkRule should show what those words mean. Engineering Notes turn architecture decisions, compatibility work and performance claims into something you can inspect.
Native coupon ownership
WC_Coupon remains canonical. PerkRule stores only the concepts WooCommerce does not already own.
Checkout-safe runtime
No license checks, update calls, telemetry, migrations or remote dependencies belong in live cart evaluation.
Deterministic conflicts
Priority, stacking and Best Deal resolve into an explicit application plan before live cart mutation begins.
One product. All features.
There is no locked Pro edition. Use PerkRule in a real workflow, judge what it actually does for the store, then choose the amount that makes sense to you. €0 remains a valid price.
How fair pricing worksAccountability should be visible in the work.
The Build Ledger shows what is implemented, what is still being tested and what is not ready. Engineering Receipts explain important decisions and known limits instead of asking you to accept them from marketing copy.
PerkRule is founder-built, but that is background context rather than the product pitch. The useful question is whether the software behaves predictably, states its boundaries clearly and gives you enough evidence to judge it.
Judge the work by what it can show, not by how many people stand behind the logo.How PerkRule is built
PerkRule is bigger than its first plugin.
The WooCommerce promotions engine is Product 001, not the definition of PerkRule. Future tools can solve different store and workflow problems while keeping the same standard: useful engineering, clear terms and direct responsibility.
PerkRule support room
Real support works better when people can talk.
The PerkRule Discord will be the direct place for setup questions, bug reports, compatibility notes and release discussion. Useful answers should not disappear into private tickets — recurring problems can become documentation and Engineering Notes.

FAQ
The important questions, without the sales maze.
A few things should be clear before you ever install a PerkRule product.
What is PerkRule?
PerkRule is an independent software brand for online stores. Product 001 is its first product: an advanced WooCommerce promotions engine built around native coupons.
Is Product 001 actually free?
€0 is intended to be a valid price for the full product. PerkRule is being designed without a separate Pro edition that holds back the useful features.
Does PerkRule replace WooCommerce coupons?
No. Native WooCommerce coupons remain canonical. PerkRule adds rules, automatic application and conflict planning around them instead of creating a parallel coupon system.
Can licensing or a server outage break checkout?
That is explicitly against the architecture. Live cart and checkout evaluation must not depend on license servers, update services, telemetry or other remote calls.
How does the pay-what-you-want model work?
Use the full product first, then choose an amount that makes sense to you. Contributions are cumulative; €200 total earns Lifetime Supporter status and removes supporter reminders permanently.
Who maintains PerkRule?
PerkRule is founder-built. That is presented as direct accountability, not a request for lower expectations: product decisions, engineering decisions and responsibility for what ships stay close together.
When will Product 001 be released?
There is no fake launch date yet. The product is still in development and will be released when the core engineering, compatibility and release infrastructure are ready.
Where will I get support?
The plan is direct support through the PerkRule Discord, backed by documentation and Engineering Notes for issues that deserve a durable public answer.
