Volume discounts are applied if the customers add appropriate amounts of items of selected [products](https://docs.kentico.com/k8/e-commerce-features/configuring-and-managing-your-store/products.md) to their shopping carts. The system automatically calculates and applies these discounts during the [checkout process](https://docs.kentico.com/k8/e-commerce-features/configuring-and-managing-your-store/checkout-process.md), or while adding new [orders](https://docs.kentico.com/k8/e-commerce-features/configuring-and-managing-your-store/orders.md) or editing existing ones in the administration interface.
You can set up multiple volume discount levels. This allows you to apply different discounts on different amounts of purchased product items. For example, you can provide a 10 % discount if the [customers](https://docs.kentico.com/k8/e-commerce-features/configuring-and-managing-your-store/customers.md) buy at least three _Nike Race Day_ T-shirts and a 15 % discount if they purchase at least five items of this product.

## Reference
| **Property** | **Description** |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Minimum amount | Here you can specify the minimum amount of product items for the system to apply the volume discount. |
| Discount | Here you can select the type of volume discount:
**By %** - allows you to enter the discount value proportionally.
**By currency** - allows you to enter a fixed discount value in your on-line store [main currency](https://docs.kentico.com/k8/e-commerce-features/configuring-and-managing-your-store/currencies.md). |
| Value per item | Allows you to specify the volume discount per one item of the product.
For example,
the volume discount is proportional, i.e. **Discount**: _By %_,
the price of the product is 50 USD,
the value per item is 10.
The customer pays 45 USD for each product item.
-OR-
the volume discount is not proportional, i.e. **Discount**:_By currency_,
the price of the product is 50 USD,
the value per item is 10.
The customer pays 40 USD for each product item. |
