The example demonstrates how you can apply multiple volume discounts on a selected [product](https://docs.kentico.com/k82/e-commerce-features/configuring-and-managing-your-store/products.md). The example uses the sample _E-commerce Site_.

The _Nike Race Day_ T-shirt has three volume discount levels that reduce the price of the product items by a specified percentage if purchased in appropriate amounts.

## Selecting the product

First, you need to select the product to which the system applies volume discounts if purchased in appropriate amounts.

1. Open the **Products** application.
2. Select **Clothing -> T-shirts** in the product sections tree.
3. **Edit** () the _Nike Race Day_ T-shirt.
4. Switch to the **Advanced -> Volume discounts** tab.

Now you can add volume discounts to the product.

## Adding volume discounts to the product

Add three volume discounts to the currently edited T-shirt to set up multiple volume discount levels for the product.

1. Click **New volume discount**.
2. Enter the following values for the first volume discount's properties:

   - **Minimum quantity**: 3
   - **Discount**: Percentage
   - **Amount per item**: 10
3. Click **Save**.
4. Click the **Volume discounts** tab to return to the **Volume discounts** screen.
5. Enter the following values for the second volume discount's properties:

   - **Minimum quantity**: 5
   - **Discount**: Percentage
   - **Amount per item**: 15
6. Click **Save**.
7. Click the **Volume discounts** tab to return to the **Volume discounts** screen.
8. Enter the following values for the third volume discount's properties:

   - **Minimum quantity**: 10
   - **Discount**: Percentage
   - **Amount per item**: 20
9. Click **Save**.

The system sets up three volume discount levels for the T-shirt by adding to the product three volume discounts. If the [customers](https://docs.kentico.com/k82/e-commerce-features/configuring-and-managing-your-store/customers.md) add an appropriate amount of the T-shirts to their shopping carts, the system automatically applies the respective volume discount.
