The Volume offer type will give customers tiered discounts when they buy products in higher quantities. Check out the video below for an overview of this offer type, and keep reading for step-by-step instructions.


Step 1: Name your offer

Each offer requires a Name before it can be saved. You can also choose to have your offer Enabled or Disabled on the storefront.

Step 2: Set up the Volume offer


Choose items to discount

If you choose a single product or variant, the customer will be required to purchase quantities of that particular product in order to receive the discount. If you choose multiple items or a collection, the customer will be able to select any combination of those items to receive the discount.


From our blog:

"Can any of your products be sold as party favours? Bridal party gifts? Games-day prizes? Employee appreciation tokens? Volume discounts help encourage shoppers to consider your products when shopping for events where many items are needed."

Set up your price tiers and discounts

Assign the quantity and discount amount for the first tier of the offer. You can choose whether the offer will use a percentage discount, dollar amount discount, or assign a new price per item. A Volume table will show on applicable product pages showing the details of your offer.

Settings to select the quantities and discount levels for each tier in the offer.



Discount percentage: Set a percentage-based discount for the offer.

Example: For the Alaska Cup, get 10% off when you buy 2, 15% when you buy 3, and 20% when you buy 4 or more.


Discount amount: Set a dollar-based discount for the offer.

Example: For the Alaska Cup, get $2 off when you buy 2, $4 off when you buy 3, and $8 off when you buy 4 or more.


New price: Set a new price per item for the offer.

Example: Get the Alaska Cup for $24.00 each when you buy 2, $22.00 each when you buy 3, and $20.00 each when you buy 4 or more.


Click add another tier to set up each tier of the offer.

🔔 Make sure the discount type is consistent for each tier of the offer.

Set the Volume discount type

Choose between three types of discount:

Per product variant: Each variant of a product is checked against the volume tiers. For example, to meet a volume tier of 3, a customer would need to purchase 3 of a given variant.

Per product: Products are checked against the volume tiers. For example, if a customer purchases 3 variants from product X and 2 variants from product Y, it will only count as 2 for the volume tiers.

Per entire product selection: Both products and variants are checked against the volume tiers. For example, if a customer purchases 3 different variants from the same product and 2 additional products, it will count as 5 for the volume tiers.

Settings to choose whether the offer counts items per product variant, per product, or per entire product selection.



Step 3: Toggle sale badges and edit offer messages

The Success message will show on the cart page when a customer reaches one of your volume tiers.

💡 If you've targeted specific variants in your offer, make sure this is reflected in your messages.
