What is the best Shopify volume discount app?
What a volume discount app does
A volume discount gives a bigger discount when a shopper buys more. A quantity break counts units, for example buy 2, save 10%; buy 3, save 15%. A spend tier counts the cart total, for example spend $100, get $10 off; spend $200, get $25 off.
We compared 7 apps on tiers, free plans and price. Every competitor fact comes from the app's Shopify App Store listing, checked on November 9, 2026. Prices are per month, in US dollars, and can change.
Shopstack makes Discount Genie, one of the apps on this list. It is listed first, and every app is described from its own listing.
What Shopify does on its own
Shopify has no tier setting. You can get close by making one automatic discount per tier. These are the desktop steps for spend $100, get 10% off; spend $200, get 20% off, from Shopify's amount off help page (checked November 9, 2026).
- From your Shopify admin, go to Discounts, click Create discount, and click Amount off orders.
- Under Method, choose Automatic discount and enter the title Spend $100, save 10%.
- Set the value to Percentage and enter 10.
- Under Minimum requirements, select Minimum purchase amount and enter 100.
- Leave the other order discounts unchecked under Combinations, then click Save.
- Repeat for 200 at 20%. A $250 cart qualifies for both, and Shopify applies the better one.
Shopify can
- Require one minimum purchase amount or one minimum quantity of items on an amount off discount. Source: help.shopify.com
- Apply the best discount for the customer's cart when several discounts can't combine. Source: help.shopify.com
- Give B2B catalog buyers volume pricing, with up to 10 price breaks per product. Source: help.shopify.com
Shopify can’t
- Hold several tiers in one amount off discount. Source: help.shopify.com
- Run more than 25 active automatic discounts, app discounts included. Source: help.shopify.com
Shopify also shows shoppers no table of the tiers. For a tier table on the product page, or several tiers in one discount, you need an app. See tiered and volume discounts for the full walkthrough.
