Volume discounts reward buyers for ordering more. You define quantity tiers, and Miko applies the correct tier automatically once the cart qualifies. The tier price competes with the buyer's group price and the lower of the two wins, so a tier runs on top of, or instead of, the group pricing depending on which produces the better price for the buyer.
Where to find it
In Customer Groups, click Volume tiers on the group's row.
How to set it up
Setting up a tier ladder
Open Customer Groups and choose the group you want to price.
Click Volume tiers.
Add a tier: enter the minimum quantity and the discount.
Choose Add product tier, Add collection tier or Add group tier, then set the minimum quantity, the discount type and the value. Load starter tiers fills in a ladder you can edit, and the live preview shows the per-unit price a tier produces.
Repeat for each break point, then save.
Click Save changes.
Options
Three scopes
The scope decides which products a tier covers. In every scope the tier is measured on the quantity of each line in the cart.
| Scope | What it covers | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Per product. | That single product. | Case-pack items. |
| Per collection. | Every product in a Shopify collection. Membership is checked live at checkout, so adding a product to the collection makes it eligible straight away. | One ladder for a whole range, such as all your candles. |
| Group-wide. | Every eligible product for the group. | A single ladder across the catalog. |
Three discount types
- Percentage off, for example 15% off once 24 units are reached.
- Amount off, a fixed dollar reduction per unit.
- Fixed price, an exact per-unit price at that tier.
How it interacts with group pricing
If a customer qualifies for both a group price and a volume tier, Miko compares the two per-unit prices and the lower one wins, so a tier is always an extra benefit and never a worse price. When tiers of different scopes match the same line, a product tier beats a collection tier, which beats a group-wide tier; within a scope, the highest minimum quantity the buyer meets wins. The buyer is never charged more than your regular retail price under any combination.
Example
Example: a four-tier ladder on a $4.50 item
1 to 11 units pay $4.50. 12 to 47 units pay $4.05 (10% off). 48 to 119 units pay $3.60 (20% off). 120 or more pay $3.15 (30% off). A buyer ordering 150 units pays $472.50 instead of $675.00.
