COMMON COMPARISONS

Tiered Quantity Discount vs. Tiered Spend Discount

Tiered Quantity counts units of a product ("buy 3, get 10% off"). Tiered Spend Discount counts the total cart value, regardless of which products are in it.

Flat Product Discount vs. Bulk Price Update

Flat Product Discount keeps the listed price and shows a discount line at checkout. Bulk Price Update changes the product's actual price directly, so there's no separate discount label, just a new price.

Wholesale / B2B Pricing vs. Dropshipping Pricing

Wholesale / B2B Pricing gates by customer identity (tag, segment, purchase history). Dropshipping Pricing gates by cost, calculating from your product cost so a price can never fall below what you paid, regardless of who's buying.

Product Spend Discount vs. Tiered Spend Discount

Product Spend Discount only counts spend on the products you select. Tiered Spend Discount counts the customer's whole cart.

Buy X Get Y vs. Tiered Quantity Discount

Buy X Get Y gives a separate reward (often a different product or a partial discount on it). Tiered Quantity Discount discounts the price of the same product as the customer buys more of it.

MINI FAQ

What's the difference between a "discount" campaign and a "pricing" campaign?

Discount campaigns (Flat Product, Tiered Quantity, Product Spend, Tiered Spend, BOGO, Free Shipping, Wholesale/B2B) leave the listed price alone and apply the saving at checkout. Pricing campaigns (Bulk Price Update, Tiered Unit Pricing, Dropshipping Pricing) change the actual product price.

Can I run more than one campaign type at once?

Yes. Different campaign types can run side by side; whether two campaigns can apply to the same product depends on their combination settings. See "Combining Discounts with Shopify" and "Managing Campaign Conflicts".

Which plan do I need for each type?

Flat Product, Tiered Quantity, Product Spend, and Bulk Price Update are on every plan including the free Starter plan. Tiered Unit Pricing needs Basic. Tiered Spend Discount needs Premium. Buy X Get Y, Free Shipping, Wholesale/B2B, and Dropshipping Pricing need Prime. See "Plans & Pricing Overview".
