Types of Quantity-Based and Volume Discounts Offers Explained

Offering quantity-based discounts is a proven way to encourage customers to buy more while helping businesses boost revenue and move inventory. The Quantity Breaks Bundle makes it easy to set up these discounts with flexible rules.

Below are the most common types of quantity-based and volume discounts, with examples to help you see how they can be used in your store:

Types of Discounts

When creating bundle offers, you can choose from several discount types based on your promotional strategy:

  1. Percentage Discount
    ​     Apply a percentage reduction to the total price of the bundle.
    ​ Example: “Get 20% off when you buy 3 items.”
    ​

  2. Fixed Amount Discount
    ​     Deduct a specific dollar amount from the total bundle price.
    ​ Example: “Save $10 on a bundle of 4 products.”
    ​

  3. Fixed Bundle Price
    ​     Set a single, fixed price for the entire bundle regardless of the individual item prices.
    ​ Example: “Buy 5 T-shirts for $60.”
    ​

  4. Without Discount
    ​     Offer a bundle at full price, allowing customers to customize their selections without any price change. Ideal for personalization-focused bundles or curated collections

Now let’s see what are the different quantity-based / volume discount offers you can make:

1. Buy More, Save More ( All Products )

This is one of the most popular approaches to quantity discounts. It offers increasing discounts based on the number of items purchased.

Example:

  • Buy 2 items: Get 10% off
    ​

  • Buy 3 items: Get 15% off
    ​

  • Buy 5 items: Get 20% off

Why it works: Customers are incentivized to add more to their cart to unlock better savings.

2. Bulk Discounts for Specific Products

Offer set prices for buying items in larger quantities, perfect for wholesale customers or bulk buyers.

Example:

  • Buy 2 at a discounted price
    ​

  • Buy 3 at a discounted price

Why it works: Clear price drops for bulk orders encourage higher-volume purchases.

3. Inventory Clearance Discounts

This type is ideal for moving surplus or seasonal stock quickly with quantity-based rewards.

Example:

  • Buy 3 shirts: Get 25% off the total order
    ​

  • Buy 6 shirts: Get 25% off the total order

Why it works: Combines urgency with value, helping you clear out slow-moving items.

4. Fixed Bundle Price Discount

The more you buy, the lower the total price, with clearly defined bundle pricing — not just a percentage off, but a fixed lower price for larger quantities.

Example:

  • Buy 1 for $30
    ​

  • Buy 2 for $50 (Save $10)
    ​

  • Buy 3 for $65 (Save $25)

Why it works: It creates a clear, tangible sense of savings and encourages upsells by anchoring the price of one item and showing dramatic value at higher quantities.
