YITH Automatic Role Changer for WooCommerce is a premium plugin designed to automate user role management within your online store. Instead of manually assigning roles to each customer, this system allows you to create custom rules that automatically change a user's role when certain purchase conditions are met. It is intended for stores that manage loyalty programs, wholesale customers, partners, resellers, simple memberships, or restricted content.
How it works is simple yet powerful: you define a rule, choose the role to be granted, and set the conditions that will trigger it. These conditions can be based on the purchase of a specific product, the order total falling within a price range, the customer's cumulative spending, or the purchase of products from specific categories or tags. When an order reaches the processing or completed status, the plugin analyzes the rules and assigns the corresponding role automatically.
Its most notable features include the creation of unlimited rules, the ability to assign multiple roles to the same user through the built-in role manager, scheduling start and end dates for each rule, and the option for role expiration with automatic return to the previous role after a certain number of days. It also allows you to exclude specific users from certain rules, notify both the administrator and the user when a new role is granted, and apply rules retroactively to existing orders via a bulk action.
The plugin integrates naturally with other solutions in the YITH ecosystem, such as YITH Role Based Prices, which allows you to automate differentiated pricing strategies by role, or YITH Points and Rewards, to encourage loyalty through discounts and exclusive offers. Each order with an assigned role displays a custom icon on the orders page, and the customer can see the role obtained from their My Account page.
If you manage a WooCommerce store and need to structure your customers' access based on their purchasing behavior, this plugin will save you hours of manual management and allow you to build more sophisticated and automated commercial strategies.
