Quantity rules

Why

A hundred off costs less to supply than one, whoever orders it.

What

A pricing rule holds quantity breaks for every customer on one scope.

How

Open /app/catalog?tab=pricing and choose New rule under Pricing rules; rules are for admins and owners.

Create a rule

1. 1
   Step 1.

   Give it a Name, such as Volume discount, and pick the Scope (product, category, schema or service; a configurator rule reaches no line today) and what it Applies to.

2. 2
   Step 2.

   Leave Starts and Ends empty for always on, or set the dates it runs between.

3. 3
   Step 3.

   Under Tiers, enter a Minimum quantity and either a % discount or a fixed price. Choose Add tier for each further break.

4. 4
   Step 4.

   Keep Active ticked and choose Save rule.

How a tier applies

• The line takes the tier with the highest minimum quantity it reaches. Below the first tier, the rule does nothing.
• A percentage discounts the price after any percentage special price. A fixed price is the unit price at that quantity.
• Only the most specific scope's rules are considered, even when none of their tiers is reached, and only one rule applies: on a tie, the lowest price.
• Tiers are stored in ascending order, whatever order they were typed in.

What the checks refuse

Where the ladder shows

A product line in the quote editor shows its Volume price ladder under How this price was calculated: only the quantities that beat the price for one. Tick Show volume price breaks on a quote to print the ladder on the PDF.
