Create a tiered discount
Create a rule from Shopify's Discounts area, choose which catalog items qualify, and add the quantity breaks shoppers should receive.
Create the automatic discount
- In Shopify admin, go to Discounts.
- Select Create discount.
- Choose Quantity tier discount.
- Choose Automatic discount and enter a recognizable title.
- Configure the target, quantity scope, and tiers.
- Save the discount.
Choose a target
| Target | Use it when |
|---|---|
| Product | One or more specific products should qualify. |
| Collection | Everything in selected collections should qualify. |
| Tag | Products carrying selected Shopify product tags should qualify. |
A cart line must match the selected target before its quantity can count toward a tier.
Choose how quantities combine
| Quantity scope | How qualification works |
|---|---|
| Each cart line | Each line qualifies independently. Separate variants or customizations do not pool. |
| Same product | Matching lines from the same product pool together, including separate variants and customized line items. |
| All matching items | Every item matched by the rule contributes to one combined quantity. |
Use Same product when variants of one product should earn the same bulk break. Use All matching items for a mix-and-match offer across the entire target.
Add pricing tiers
Each tier has a minimum quantity and one discount type:
- Percentage off reduces the current unit price by a percentage.
- Fixed amount off removes the specified amount from each unit, without going below zero.
- Fixed price sets the effective unit price to the specified amount, without producing a negative discount.
The app orders tiers by minimum quantity. When several tiers qualify, the highest qualifying tier wins.
Confirm the rule
Add eligible products to a test cart at quantities immediately below, at, and above each threshold. Also test separate variants when using a combined quantity scope.
