How the Volume discounts / tiered pricing feature works

![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/helpcenter/65b350631ff56ccfb3879048/20260331005933_7451.png)

## 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. This is the one discount type that cannot be localised for Shopify Markets.

## 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.  
    ​

## Volume discounts and Shopify Markets

Volume discounts can be localised, with one exception: a volume discount set to **Fixed bundle price** cannot. Choose percentage or amount tiers on a bundle you want to localise.

-   **Percentage off** tiers give the same saving in every market.
    
-   **Fixed amount off** tiers convert to each market's currency, so the saving varies slightly by market.
