Setting Up 'Buy 2 Get 10% Off, Buy 3 Get 15% Off' Tiered Discounts
Shopify's native automatic discounts support quantity-based tiers but require creating separate discount rules for each tier. While slightly more setup than a single rule, this approach is reliable and gives you full control over each tier's conditions and value.
Setup Method: Two Automatic Discounts
Discount 1 (Tier 1):
- Automatic discount: 10% off
- Minimum: 2 items (of the target collection)
- Applies to: your target products or collections
Discount 2 (Tier 2):
- Automatic discount: 15% off
- Minimum: 3 items
- Same target products
When a customer has 2 items, the 10% discount applies. When they add a 3rd item, Shopify applies the higher applicable discount (15%). Note: configure each discount to Combine with other discounts if you want stacking, or keep them exclusive.
Alternative: Quantity Breaks App
For cleaner management of multi-tier quantity discounts, apps like Bold Quantity Breaks handle the tier logic in one place and display the pricing table on product pages automatically. This reduces the complexity of managing multiple separate Shopify discount rules and provides better customer visibility of the tier structure.
