Gravity Perks Conditional Pricing

Gravity Perks Conditional Pricing

Treasure hunters of complex pricing logic will find Gravity Perks Conditional Pricing to be an indispensable map: it turns the normal product field in Gravity Forms into a dynamic, adaptive pricing engine. Rather than cluttering a form with many different product fields or static price options, this perk allows site owners to define unlimited pricing rules that respond to user input, quantity, dates or other conditions, all within a single Product field. It caters especially well to use cases like early-bird discounts, quantity-based pricing tiers, or user role-based prices.

Under the hood, Conditional Pricing integrates deeply with Gravity Forms’ conditional logic architecture. Rules are defined in a user interface where you select the Product field, then add pricing levels that “qualify” via conditional logic. These conditions can use operators such as “is,” “is not,” “greater than,” “less than,” “contains,” “starts with,” or “ends with.” The form listens to user input (e.g. number fields, dropdowns, radio buttons) and evaluates rules from top to bottom, applying the first match to determine the price. This is powerful but requires rule ordering care because a general rule placed above a more specific one may override the latter.

Version 2.0 of this perk brought in significant technical upgrades: a redesigned interface powered by React to reduce page reloads; an improved importer/exporter system to manage many pricing rules via CSV; automatic mapping of form field columns in import files; and smoother performance when saving or manipulating large rule sets. The system is optimized to handle hundreds or even thousands of pricing levels without slowing down the admin side. The logic evaluation is done client-side (JavaScript) where possible, but final computation and validation occur server-side to ensure security and integrity of pricing.

Feature-wise, some of the highlights include bulk discounts (quantity threshold pricing), user-input based pricing (different options selected lead to different price), date-based pricing (prices that change depending on calendar date or deadline), and choice-based pricing rules. It supports conditions based on most Gravity Forms field types (dropdowns, radio, checkboxes, number, etc.), but excludes user-defined price or shipping fields in many cases. In addition, integration with external perks—like conditional logic dates, or inventory/discount modules—expands the possibilities of what pricing rules can depend on: e.g. offer one price before a certain date, another after.

From the user experience standpoint, Conditional Pricing is designed to be intuitive. The interface allows you to add, reorder, duplicate, or remove pricing rules; previewing is possible through test entries or front-end forms. Pricing rules can be exported to a CSV file, edited offline, imported back, replaced entirely, or appended to existing rules. This makes managing many conditional price levels much easier in agencies or for large forms. There are also snippets for advanced customizations—displaying price labels, handling choice-based fields with translations, etc.

It’s not without limitations, though. Because drop-down and radio button choices are indexed rather than uniquely identified, reordering or removing options can break existing rules. Also, certain field types—like shipping or calculation fields—may not be fully supported for conditional pricing. Validation errors can occur if rules or product fields are mis-configured. But support is strong, and the architecture provides hooks and filters for developers to extend or adjust behavior.

In summary, Gravity Perks Conditional Pricing is a powerful tool for any site needing more than fixed prices. It offers flexible, conditional pricing rules that respond to user inputs, dates, bulk quantities, etc.; a modern UI with import/export tools; and deep integration within Gravity Forms. For complex forms or e-commerce setups that demand adaptive pricing, it can save lots of developer work, reduce clutter, and improve conversion by showing relevant prices only when appropriate.
