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.
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 #
- In Discount Genie, go to Discounts.
- Under Create discounts like a Genie, pick Volume discount.
- At the top, in Select properties and qualifiers type, pick Standard, Advanced (paid plans) or B2B (Wholesalers).
- Choose a discount code or an automatic discount.
- Set your breaks (next section).
- In Choose targeted products, pick Target all products or Target a group of products.
- Optional: limit who gets it in Set a target audience, and when it applies in Set cart qualifiers.
- Save the discount.
Set your volume breaks #
In Set your volume breaks:
- Under Discount, pick Percentage or Fixed amount.
- For the first break, enter Starts (units in cart) and what the Customer gets.
- Click Add break for the next step up. Click Remove to delete a break.
- Optional: enter Ends (optional) on the last break to cap how many units get its discount. Units past that number get no discount.
- In Select strategy, choose whether the discount goes to the least expensive or the most expensive item first.
| Break | Starts (units in cart) | Ends (optional) | Customer gets |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 | 5 | 10% |
| 2 | 6 | 15% |
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.
