Volume Pricing

Overview

Volume pricing — also called quantity breaks or tiered pricing — automatically reduces the unit price as order quantities increase. It is a core feature for B2B and wholesale channels, and an effective average-order-value driver for consumer stores ("Add 3 more for 10% off"). Most platforms do not include volume pricing natively; you need an app or plugin. This skill walks through setup on each platform and covers custom implementation for headless storefronts.

When to Use This Skill

• When selling to B2B buyers who expect per-unit price reductions for large orders
• When running a wholesale channel alongside a retail channel with separate pricing
• When you want to increase average order value by showing customers how much they save by buying more
• When managing multiple customer groups (retail, wholesale, distributor) with distinct price lists
• When building a configure-price-quote (CPQ) flow for custom bulk orders
