How to set it up

1

Go to your Offer Library

Navigate to Offers Library and click New Offer. Select Volume Discount as the offer type.

2

Define your tiers

Start with 3 tiers: Buy 2 save 10%, Buy 3 save 15%, Buy 4+ save 20%. These ranges work well as a starting point for most categories.

3

Set eligible products

Apply to your best-selling product first. Once validated, expand to a product collection.

4

Activate the offer

Toggle the offer to Active. It will automatically apply to eligible carts through the Shopify discount function.

5

A/B test the thresholds

Run an Offer Test with control (no discount) vs your volume tiers to quantify the exact AOV and revenue lift.

Pro tips

  • Show a visual tier chart on the product page so customers know what they're working toward.
  • Margins permitting, make tier 3 feel like the obvious best-value choice.
  • Test whether showing the savings in dollars (Save $12) vs. percent (Save 15%) performs better.
  • Exclude products already on sale to protect margin.
