Limiting Tiered Discounts to Specific Product Categories
Category-restricted tiered discounts let you run targeted promotions without exposing your entire catalog to volume pricing. This is particularly useful when you want to drive bulk purchases in one category (skincare, supplements, consumables) without affecting high-margin categories where unit economics do not support tiered pricing.
Setup in Shopify
For native Shopify automatic discount:
1. Create automatic discount
2. Under Applies to, select Specific collections
3. Add your target category collection
4. Set minimum quantity requirements for the tier trigger
5. Save
Note: Shopify's native discounts support a single tier (buy 3+, get 10% off). For multi-tier structures within a specific category, you need a quantity breaks app configured to target that collection.
Strategic Use Cases
| Category | Why Tier Discounts Work |
|---|---|
| Skincare / consumables | Natural multi-unit purchase; customers stock up when incentivized |
| Makeup accessories (brushes, tools) | Sets make sense; 3-for-2 on brushes drives category AOV |
| Supplements / wellness | 3-month supply bundles reduce churn and acquisition cost |
