Group Buy Plugin for WooCommerce 1.5.0
Description
The Group Buy Plugin for WooCommerce is a WordPress extension that lets store owners run discounted group buys by forming or joining customer groups. It’s designed for WooCommerce storefronts where purchases are unlocked for logged-in customers, helping you encourage participation before checkout. Admins add products to group buy offers from the back end, set a group size per product, and control how the offer is presented on the front end.
For shoppers, the plugin supports creating a new group or joining an existing one, then sharing the group via Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or email. If enabled, customers can pay using a wallet extension, and admins can refund amounts directly back to a customer’s wallet.
