Volume discounts are managed in an inventory item's profile. Each discount tier is based on the maximum number of items in that tier, except for the final tier, which will apply for all items purchased after that tier is reached. The price for the entire purchase of the item will automatically reflect the applicable discount tier based on the quantity being purchased.
To apply a price tier to an inventory item:
Click on "Inventory"
Search for the applicable inventory item
Click on "price tiers" and select "new tier"
Complete the form that appears, and click "save + done" to save the current tier and close the form, or "save + add new" to save the current tier and add another tier
The price tier is based on the maximum number of items in that tier. |
Only one tier is permitted for a given discount. |
Let's work through an example to see how this works. Assume you want to offer a discount of 10% if a client buys more than 10 of a certain item. To achieve this, you would create the following tiers:
Maximum quantity of 10 with a 0% discount (this ensures that no discount applies when 10 or less are purchased)
Maximum quantity of 11 with a 10% discount (this ensures a 10% discount applies to quantities of 11 or more)
