How do I create quantity-based automatic discounts?

I'm looking to implement automatic discounts in my online store that are triggered when customers purchase a specific quantity of items. I want to create promotions that encourage bulk purchases, increase average order value, and provide clear incentives for customers to buy more. However, I'm unsure about the technical implementation, how to structure these discounts effectively, and what strategies will actually motivate customers to increase their cart size. What are the best practices for setting up quantity-based automatic discounts that drive sales without sacrificing profit margins?
