Programmatically alter the WooCommerce cart discount total (and apply a new discount) before it's calculated through the woocommerce_calculate_totals hook. Add this code to your Wordpress functions.php file.

    $total_discount = 0;
    $my_increment = 15; // Apply another discount every 15 products

        if ($val != 0) {
      		$total_discount += $discount;
      	}
      }
   
      // Alter the cart discount total

It seems this is not working on checkout page. When I am using this code it is working on cart page then click on "proceed to checkout" button and checkout page appears but 100 Rs. discount is not applied on that page. I am stuck. It would be great if anyone can help. Thanks!

add_action('woocommerce_calculate_totals', 'discount_cal');
function discount_cal(){
global $woocommerce;
$dis_val = 100;
if(is_user_logged_in()){
if($dis_val != 0){
$discount = $dis_val ;
$total_discount = 0;
$total_discount += $discount;
// Alter the cart discount total
$woocommerce->cart->discount_total = $total_discount;
}
}
}

I have also tried this (I was assumming cart session also needs to be update)
//try - session discount apply sol- for checkout
$woocommerce->cart->cart_session_data['discount_total'] = $total_discount;

Can't get this to work either. Ended up creating a negative fee in place of discount.

function sale_custom_price($cart_object) {
// Calculate discount amount and return $discount

if ($discount) {
$discount *= -1;
$cart_object->add_fee('Discount', $discount, true, '');
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_cart_calculate_fees', 'sale_custom_price');

However this adds an extra line to the checkout page for Discount instead of using the already present Discount field. Any ideas?

Hey, I'm looking to apply a discount without code. An automatic discount over 100$ ...
Do you know how can I do that ?
Thanks
