Volume discounts are applied when customers add an appropriate amount of selected products to their shopping carts. The system automatically calculates and applies these discounts during the checkout process, or while adding new orders or editing existing ones in the administration interface.
For example, use this type of a discount when you want customers to have 10% discount if they buy 5 pieces of selected product.
You can also 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 customers buy at least 3 Nike Race Day T-shirts and a 15% discount if they purchase at least 5 items of this product.
You can add and edit volume discounts for selected products in the Products application while editing these products.
The system saves the volume discount for the chosen product. If customers add at least the specified amount of product items to their shopping carts, the system automatically applies the discount.
By repeating these steps, you can create different discount levels. If customers then add at least the specified amount of product items to their shopping carts, the system automatically applies a volume discount based on the amount of inserted product items.
Examples
If a product has different discounts for 5, 10, and 15 pieces:
You can combine percentage discounts and fixed value discounts in your multiple volume discount levels.
