Volume Discounts

How the Volume discounts / tiered pricing feature works

Overview

The Volume Discounts feature in Biscuits Bundles allows you to offer discounts based on the total number of items selected in a bundle. The discount can be set as a fixed dollar amount, a percentage, or a fixed price for the entire bundle .

  • Discount types:

    • Fixed amount off: Take a set dollar amount off the bundle total.

    • Percentage off: Take a set percentage off the bundle total.

    • Fixed bundle price: Set the entire bundle to a specific price once a tier is met.

How it works

  • Tiers: You define “break points” (tiers) like “Buy 3+ items, get 10% off.” You can add up to 5 additional tiers.

  • What counts toward tiers: The total number of items selected in the bundle.

  • Which tier applies: The highest tier that the shopper qualifies for is applied automatically.

  • Live updates: As shoppers add/remove items, the discount updates in real time.


Display styles

  • You can choose how the progress appears to shoppers:

    • Thumbnails: A simple, compact style.

    • Progress bar: A visual bar that fills as shoppers approach a tier.

    • Segments: Tier “steps” displayed in segments.

  • The recommended default messages change based on the Display type and Volume discount type.


Where to set it up

  1. Create or edit a bundle inside the app.

  2. In the Bundle Pricing area, choose a Volume discounts as the Discount type.
    ​

  3. A new 'Volume discounts type' setting will appear where you can adjust the discount type applied to each tier.

    • Fixed amount off

    • Percentage off

    • Fixed bundle price
      ​

  4. Add tiers:

    • Set the minimum quantity for each tier (e.g., 1, 3, 5).

    • Enter the discount value for that tier (amount, percent, or fixed price).
      ​


      ​

  5. The bundle step rules, must allow the user to select the relevant number of products to match your volume discount tiers.
    ​If your bundle only has one step, you'll see a helper to 'auto set up step rules' to assist with setting your bundle's step rules.
    ​


    ​

  6. Open the “Volume Discount Settings” section:

    • Choose a Display type (Thumbnails, Progress bar, or Segments).

    • Edit the Messages for customers:

      • Titles: one “Progress message” and one “Success message.”

      • Tier messages: one “Tier progress message” and one “Tier success message.”

    • Tip: Use || to add a line break inside a message (for example: “Add 1 more || to unlock 10% off”).

    • Tip: You can include placeholders like #{{quantity}} or #{{discountAmount}} in messages to make them dynamic.
      ​


      ​

  7. Save the bundle.
    ​



Helpful hints when setting up your volume discount messages

  • Messages are set per bundle: This ensures each bundle can have custom tiers and tailored messaging.

  • Default messages: When you change the Volume discount type or Display type, new recommended defaults appear. You can keep or edit them.

  • Reset: If needed, you can reset any field to its recommended default.

  • Keep messages short: Use one clear sentence (two lines max using ||) so shoppers immediately understand how to unlock the deal.

Examples

  • Fixed amount off:

    • Tiers:

      • 1+ items → $0 off

      • 3+ items → $10 off

    • Customer sees progress toward 3 items and, when reached, $10 off is applied.
      ​


      ​

    • Tiers:

      • 2+ items → 5% off

    • The highest tier reached applies to the bundle total.
      ​


      ​

  • Fixed bundle price:
