Catalog price rule apply on products in different categories

[georgmuths5612]

Hi,

I would need some help with Catalog Price Rules.

We're running Magento 2.4.0

There are following categories in the root-category:

... Men
..... Underwear
...... Socks

We've product with SKU "1234" in both categories, Underwear and Socks.

There are 2 different catalog price rules:

1. 12% on original for category "Underwear"
2. 2 EUR fixed amount for category "Socks"

For some reason both rules are applied on the SKU in both categories.

Is there any way that SKU "1234" get's 12% in the one category and 2 EUR in the other category? So that the defined reduction is just valid for the category the SKU is assigned to?

Thanks for help.

Yes, catalog price rules in Magento 2 can be applied across different categories, but you’ll need to ensure that the conditions and actions in the rule are properly set.

If your rule is targeting products like colorful socks for men that exist in multiple categories (e.g., “New Arrivals” and “Winter Collection”), make sure the rule doesn’t rely solely on the category condition — or else it might miss some of them. Instead, consider using product attributes like SKU, color, or a custom attribute to make the rule more flexible.

Also, don’t forget to reindex and refresh the cache after applying the rule. Sometimes the discounts won’t reflect unless these steps are done.

Let me know if you need help tweaking the rule conditions!
