Group Buying for WooCommerce enables you to offer group-buy deals on specific products and entice your customers to purchase in large quantities as a group to get discounts. Make your customers your brand ambassadors as they share your product to complete the group and qualify for a discount.
Group Buying is a must have extension for merchants dealing in products that can only be sold in groups, e.g., group classes, safari and tour tickets, and more.
Allow your customers to create public or private groups or join any existing group to get a product at a discounted price. This extension helps in achieving 3 major benefits, i.e., community building, increased sales volume, and increased word of mouth as customers intend to share with others to complete a group target.
For easy management, the extension offers flexible discount settings, participant limits, group deadlines and payment options to choose from. The Group Buy button and labels can be fully customized, maximizing its appeal to boost conversions.

Global rules:
When adding global rules, you can enable group buying on multiple products and categories at once without having to set up options from individual product pages. When creating new rules, you can control group buy discounts, member limits, and all other options required to create tailored group buy campaigns.
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18734004683090" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Global-Rules-for-Group-buying.png" alt="" width="980" height="1543" />
Product level settings:
Looking to enable group buying only on specific products? Using the product-level settings, you can set up group buy right from the product edit sheet. Each product can have different group buy discounts and other settings as per the product requirements.
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18734004683081" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Group-buying-on-product-level.png" alt="" width="980" height="888" />
<h2>Allow customers to create public or private groups:</h2>
With Group Buying for WooCommerce, you can allow your customers to join or create either a public or private group.
Public group: 
Public groups are available for all customers in your store. Other customers can participate in the group by purchasing products at a discounted group rate.
Private group: 
The private group is visible to selected users only. While creating a private group, your customer can add the email addresses of multiple people and send them an invitation to join his group by purchasing products at a discount rate.
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18734004683076" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Create-Public-or-private-groups.png" alt="" width="980" height="483" />
<h2>Add groups creation limit:</h2>
Control the maximum number of public and private groups your customers can create in your store. Once the threshold exceeds, your customers will only be able to join an existing group instead of creating a new one.
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18734004683073" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Private-and-public-groups-Limits.png" alt="" width="980" height="365" />
<h2>Define group targets:</h2>
<h2 style="font-size: var(--wp--preset--font-size--large,21px);font-family: var(--wccom-font-family-header)"><img class="alignright wp-image-18734004683091" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Define-group-targets.png" alt="" width="550" height="105" /></h2>
You can set a group target in terms of sales or the number of members who must join to complete the sales target.
<ul>
<li>Sales target: If you have set a target of 5, as soon as the five quantities are purchased, the group target will be completed. Even one customer can purchase five quantities to complete the group target.</li>
<li>Limit purchase quantity: To complete the sales target, the group must have five members, where each member can only purchase a single quantity.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Offer group buy discount in fixed or percentage:</h2>
Offer attractive discount deals on group buying to entice customers to purchase products in groups. You can add a discount in a fixed or percentage amount and apply it to the regular or sale price of the product.
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18734004683078" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Offer-discount-in-fixed-or-percentage.png" alt="" width="980" height="351" />

Display a countdown timer to notify customers about the time left before the group expires. You can choose to display either a text or digital countdown timer.

As store admin, you can view and manage groups that have been created on your store.
