Volume discount (quantity breaks)

Set up a Discount Genie volume discount that gives a bigger discount as customers add more units of a product, then show the breaks on your store.

Updated 2 min read

A volume discount gives a bigger discount the more units of a product a customer buys. Each step is a break: for example 3 to 5 units get 10% off, and 6 or more get 15% off.

Create a volume discount #

  1. In Discount Genie, go to Discounts.
  2. Under Create discounts like a Genie, pick Volume discount.
  3. At the top, in Select properties and qualifiers type, pick Standard, Advanced (paid plans) or B2B (Wholesalers).
  4. Choose a discount code or an automatic discount.
  5. Set your breaks (next section).
  6. In Choose targeted products, pick Target all products or Target a group of products.
  7. Optional: limit who gets it in Set a target audience, and when it applies in Set cart qualifiers.
  8. Save the discount.

Set your volume breaks #

In Set your volume breaks:

  1. Under Discount, pick Percentage or Fixed amount.
  2. For the first break, enter Starts (units in cart) and what the Customer gets.
  3. Click Add break for the next step up. Click Remove to delete a break.
  4. Optional: enter Ends (optional) on the last break to cap how many units get its discount. Units past that number get no discount.
  5. In Select strategy, choose whether the discount goes to the least expensive or the most expensive item first.

Tip

Make each break start one unit after the last one ends (5, then 6), so no quantity falls between two breaks.

Show the breaks on your store #

Shoppers don't see the breaks on the product page until you add a block in the Shopify theme editor:

  • Volume Table: a table of your breaks.
  • Volume Break Widget: a quantity picker that shows each break.

See Show your discount on your store for the steps.
