What is a Quantity Breaks Bundle and How to create it: A Complete Overview

Written by Shivam Tiwari

The Quantity Breaks Bundle is a proven sales strategy that rewards customers with tiered discounts as they buy more units of a product. Instead of offering a flat deal, it provides progressive savings that grow with each additional item purchased.

This clear, upfront incentive motivates shoppers to increase their cart size, helping you sell more in a single

Whether you’re selling consumables like supplements, apparel in multiple sizes, or accessories often bought in pairs or sets, the Quantity Breaks Bundle makes bulk buying feel like the smart, obvious choice—delivering value for your customers and growth for your business.

Why You Should Create a Quantity Breaks Bundle?

  • Higher Average Order Value (AOV): Customers are encouraged to buy more to unlock bigger discounts.

  • Faster Inventory Movement: Great for clearing stock of consumables, seasonal products, or slow-moving items.

  • Customer Loyalty: Shoppers feel rewarded for buying in bulk, which improves their overall satisfaction and repeat purchase likelihood.

  • Margin Control: You set discount tiers that balance customer savings with healthy profit margins.


How to Create a Quantity Breaks /Volume Discount Bundle?

STEP 1

Create a Quantity Breaks/Volume Discount Bundle

Go to the Kefi Bundle Builder homepage and select the Quantity Breaks/Volume Discount Bundle option to create the bundle. Click ‘Select’.



STEP 2

Choose the Template Design

Select one of the available template options for your bundle:

  • Vertical Basic

  • Vertical Classic

  • Vertical Modern

  • Horizontal Basic

  • Horizontal Modern



Once you’ve chosen your preferred template, proceed to the next step.

STEP 2

There are 3 sections available: Content, Design and Advanced.
The Widget Preview is available on the right side.


STEP 3

The Content tab is where you define the structure, logic, and messaging of your Quantity Breaks offer. This section allows you to set bundle titles, eligible products, discount tiers, and how offers are displayed to customers.

1. Bundle Info

  • Title: This is the display name of the bundle (e.g., “Buy More, Save More”) that appears in the cart widget and product pages. It helps customers quickly understand the deal being offered.


A. Show Line Around Title – Check this box to display a divider line around the title for better emphasis. Uncheck it if you prefer a cleaner look without borders.

B. Show Countdown Timer – Check this box to add a timer beneath your title, creating urgency and motivating quicker purchases. You can edit the timer text and change the timer minutes as well. Uncheck if you don’t want to display a timer.

Changes are instantly visible in the Widget Preview panel, so you can see exactly how the bundle will appear before publishing.


STEP 4

2. Product and Offer Setup

This section lets you decide which products your Quantity Breaks Bundle will apply to. You have three options:

  • All Products – The discount bundle applies storewide to every product.

  • Specific Products – The bundle applies only to selected products. Use the + Add Products button to choose which ones to include.

  • Exclude Products – The bundle applies to all products except the ones you specifically exclude.

Let Customers Choose Different Variants for Each Item - Shoppers can mix and match product variants (like sizes or colors) claiming the bundle. When unchecked, All items in the bundle must be the same variant.

Show Swatches - Displays variant options (like color swatches or size buttons) directly in the bundle, making it easy for customers to select. When unchecked, variants won’t appear as swatches.

Here’s what happens when you check on Show Swatches and click on ‘Edit Swatch Options’. The panel lets you customize how product variants (like colors or sizes) are displayed in your Quantity Breaks bundle.

  • Option Type – Choose which product option will appear as swatches.

  • Option Layout – Decide how variants should be shown.

  • Swatch Size & Shape – Adjust the size of each swatch and select the shape ( for eg, Circle) to match your store’s style.

In this case, you’ll see a message saying “No Options Found” because the selected product has no custom options. However, if the product had variant options (like different colors or sizes), this is where you would control how they appear to customers in the bundle.

Once your settings are adjusted, click Apply to save changes.

All selections update in the Widget Preview so you can see how the bundle will look before publishing.

On clicking ‘Add Products’, your entire product list will be visible. Select the boxes beside the product you wish to add. Once done, click ‘Select’.

For example, this is the widget preview when both of these boxes are checked. You also have the option to ‘Edit Swatch Options’ here.

Here’s what happens when you check on Show Swatches and click on ‘Edit Swatch Options’. The panel lets you customize how product variants (like colors or sizes) are displayed in your Quantity Breaks bundle.

  • Option Type – Choose which product option will appear as swatches.

  • Option Layout – Decide how variants should be shown.

  • Swatch Size & Shape – Adjust the size of each swatch and select the shape ( for eg, Circle) to match your store’s style.

In this case, you’ll see a message saying “No Options Found” because the selected product has no custom options. However, if the product had variant options (like different colors or sizes), this is where you would control how they appear to customers in the bundle.

Once your settings are adjusted, click Apply to save changes.

3. Discounts - The Discounts section is where you set up different pricing tiers for your Quantity Breaks bundle. Each Offer represents a tier and you can create multiple offers using the Add Offer button.

OFFER 1

Discount Type: Choose from: Percentage Discount (%), Fixed Amount Discount ($), Fixed Bundle Price, Without Discount

Value: The actual discount value in percentage

Quantity: Minimum number of items required to unlock this offer tier.

Offer Title: The label shown to customers (e.g., “Buy 3, Save 15%”).

Tag: An optional internal label to organize or filter offers.

Discount Label – Add a custom label to highlight the offer further.

Selected by Default – Check this box if you want a specific offer automatically highlighted when the bundle loads.

Add Free Gift – Attach a free gift to the offer, making it even more appealing.

Add Image – Include a product image or promotional graphic alongside the offer for better visibility.

The Widget Preview on the right updates in real time, so you can instantly see how your offers will look to shoppers.

Discount Combinations

At the bottom of this section, you can control whether your bundle discounts stack with other promotions:

  • Order Discounts – Allow this bundle discount to combine with order-wide promotions (e.g., 10% off the entire order).

  • Product Discounts – Let this discount work alongside product-specific discounts.

  • Shipping Discounts – Allow this discount to combine with shipping offers like free or reduced delivery.

Checking these boxes means the bundle discount can stack with other active promotions. Unchecking them ensures it works as a standalone offer.

STEP 7

Similarly like Offer 1, you can also switch and add Offer 2. You can either keep the same discount type or choose from the options in the list. You can also modify the discount combinations as per your preference.

Please note- Each offer tab (Offer 1, 2, and 3) includes the same fields:

  • Discount Type, Value, and Quantity

  • Offer Title, Tag, and Discount Label

  • Toggle options like Selected by default and the option to Add free gift and an image.

You can use "Add Offer" to create more discount tiers or click "Delete" to remove any.

This setup helps you create flexible, tiered discounts that encourage larger purchases.


STEP 8

When you switch to Offer 3, you have an extra toggle option. Simply enable it to utilise the feature - “Allow users to buy extra items with the discount offer’’. The rest of the features are the same as Offer 1 and Offer 2.


Here’s what happens when you enable both the options - ‘Selected by Default’ and ‘Allow users to buy extra items with the discount offer’

  • Selected by Default - Checking this option means the discount offer will be automatically highlighted and pre-selected when the bundle loads in the cart or product page.
    This draws attention to your preferred offer (e.g., “Buy 3, Save 20%”), making it more likely customers will choose it. If unchecked, no offer will be pre-selected and shoppers must actively pick one.

  • Allow Users to Buy Extra Items with this Discount Offer - When enabled, shoppers can increase the quantity beyond the minimum requirement while still receiving the same discount.

For example, if the offer is “Buy 3, Save 20%,” customers could purchase 4, 5, or more items, and each one would still qualify for the 20% discount. If unchecked, the discount applies strictly to the set quantity (in this case, exactly 3 items).

This flexibility can encourage larger orders since customers aren’t limited to the minimum tier.

If you want to add more offers, simply click on ‘Add Offer’, and if you wish to delete any offer tier, just click on the bin icon.

STEP 9

To ‘Add Free Gift’ click on it. This makes the bundle more appealing by giving customers an extra incentive to buy. The free gift will appear directly in the Widget Preview so shoppers can clearly see what they’re getting.

Single vs. Multiple Free Gifts

  • Single Free Gift – Customers receive one specific free product when they qualify for the offer (e.g., free gift wrapping).

  • Multiple Free Gifts – Allows you to add more than one free item, giving customers extra value or choice when they meet the offer requirements.

Free Gift Selection - You can use the Search Products field or the Browse button to select which product will be given as the free gift. Once chosen, the gift appears in the list (e.g., Gift Wrapping) along with the quantity.

Free Gift Text - Here you can customize the label that appears alongside the gift in the widget (e.g., + Free Gift). This text helps highlight the reward and draws customer attention to the added value.

With these settings, you can make your offer stand out by combining discounts with attractive free gifts—helping to increase conversions and customer satisfaction.

STEP 10

You can also enhance your discount offer by uploading a custom image to make it more eye-catching and engaging for shoppers. Simply click ‘Add Image’.

Upload Image -You can upload an image file directly here. Supported formats include .jpg, .png, and .jpeg with a maximum file size of 1MB. Once uploaded, the image will appear in the Widget Preview panel so you can instantly see how it looks alongside your offer.

Image Size & Border Radius -

  • Image Size – Adjust the scale of the uploaded image using the slider to make it more prominent or subtle within the offer card.

  • Image Border Radius – Control the roundness of the image corners. A low value keeps edges sharp, while a higher value gives the image a softer, rounded look.

All changes update live in the Widget Preview, allowing you to fine-tune the image placement, size, and styling before publishing.
