WHAT IS IT?
A Tiered Quantity Discount rewards customers who buy more units by offering a larger discount as their quantity increases. You define multiple tiers, for example: buy 2 to 4 save 10%, buy 5 to 9 save 15%, buy 10+ save 20%.
The discount applies to the total quantity of the selected products in the cart. All units get the rate of the highest tier reached; it is not a mix of rates.
HOW THE DISCOUNT IS CALCULATED
The discount applies to ALL units at the highest tier the customer reaches, not just the units above the threshold.
Example: Product = $49.99. Tier 2 = buy 3+, get 15% off.
Cart: 3 units → $49.99 × 3 = $149.97 → 15% off = −$22.50 → Pay $127.47
It doesn't give 0% on the first two units, only 15% on the third.
WHEN USE IT
- Encourage bulk buying: Buy 3+ totes, get 15% off all of them
- Increase average order value: Buy 5+ wallets, save 20%
- BFCM / seasonal bundle push: Buy 2 → 10%, buy 5 → 20%
- Wholesale / B2B pricing by quantity: 10+ units at wholesale rate
STEP-BY-STEP: CREATE A TIERED QUANTITY DISCOUNT
Step 1: Go to Create Campaign
From the Discount Prime sidebar, click Campaigns → Create Campaign.
Step 2: Choose Campaign Type
Click the Tiered Quantity Discount card.
Step 3: Pick a Scenario (Optional)
BFCM tiered quantity → pre-fills 2 tiers: qty 3 → 10%, qty 5 → 20%
Step 4: Name Your Campaign
Enter a name like: Buy More Save More, Canvas Tote.
Step 5: Select Products
Click Browse products and select the products this quantity discount applies to.
Step 6: Define the Tiers
Click Add tier to create each discount level. For each tier set:
- Minimum quantity: how many units must be in the cart
- Discount type: Percentage (%) or Fixed Amount ($)
- Discount value
Example setup for a 3-tier campaign:
Tier 1: Min qty 2 → 10% off
Tier 2: Min qty 5 → 15% off
Tier 3: Min qty 10 → 20% off
Note: Tiers must be in ascending order. If Tier 2 min qty is equal to or less than Tier 1 min qty, you will see a validation error.
Step 7: Schedule (Optional)
Set a start and/or end date for time-limited promotions.
Step 8: Save the Campaign
STEP BY STEP: VERIFY THE CAMPAIGN WORKS
Test scenario:
Campaign: Canvas Tote ($49.99)
Tier 1: qty 2 or more → 10% off
Tier 2: qty 5 or more → 15% off
Verification:
Cart: 1 Tote → no discount (below Tier 1) → total $49.99
Cart: 2 Totes → 10% off $99.98 = −$10.00 → total $89.98
Cart: 5 Totes → 15% off $249.95 = −$37.49 → total $212.46
Cart: increase from 3 to 5 Totes → ALL 5 jump to 15% (not mixed rates) → total $212.46
Step 1: Add Below Threshold
Add 1 Tote. Confirm no discount is applied.
Step 2: Cross the First Tier
Increase to 2 Totes. The discount line −$10.00 should appear.
Step 3: Cross the Second Tier
Increase to 5 Totes. The discount should jump to −$37.49. Verify that ALL 5 units are at 15%, not 2 units at 10% and 3 units at 15%.
Step 4: Test Non-Campaign Products
Add a non-discounted product alongside the totes. Only the tote should be discounted.
Step 5: Check the PDP Widget
On the product page, a quantity-price table should appear, showing each tier.
TIPS & COMMON MISTAKES
All units get the tier rate: This is different from "only the extra units are discounted." All units in the cart jump to the tier rate together.
Tier order matters: Min quantities must go up (e.g., 2, 5, 10). Please ensure Tier 2 does not start at a lower quantity than Tier 1.
Mixing products: The discount applies to the total quantity of ALL selected products combined in the cart, not to each product separately.
