Volume discounts (buy more, save more)

Volume discounts reward customers for buying more units. Customer adds more → discount jumps. Pure conversion lift on consumables and apparel.

Volume discounts run through the unified discount, so stores still on the older separate discounts need to migrate first (see Migrate from legacy to unified).

Setup

1. Open Cart Editor → Volume Discount and click Enable.

2. Under Volume Discount Tiers, click Add Tier. You can add up to 10.

3. Pick the Target Type: All Products, Specific Products (click Select Products) or Specific Collections (click Select Collections). Only one tier can use All Products.

4. Under Quantity Discounts, click Add Quantity Tier for each step. Set the Minimum Quantity, the Discount Type (Percentage or Amount Off) and the Discount Value. For example:

   • Buy 2+ → 5% off
   • Buy 3+ → 10% off
   • Buy 5+ → 15% off

   Make each higher step a better deal than the one below it.

5. Edit the Display Title of each step if you like. The default is "Buy {{quantity}} save {{discount}}", and those two placeholders fill in the step's quantity and discount.

6. Under Settings, pick a Display Type: Buttons or Bars.

7. Click Save.

If a tier targets Specific Collections, Oxify shows a banner asking you to add a one-time snippet to your theme (View setup steps). Without it the steps won't show in the cart, but the discount still applies at checkout.

Display styles

• Buttons — The default. Horizontal, scrollable buttons under the cart item.
• Bars — Vertical stacked bars under the cart item.

Both styles only show the steps the customer hasn't reached yet, and clicking one sets the item's quantity to that step.

How it's applied

The highest step a cart line's quantity reaches applies to that line. Amount Off takes that amount off each item. By default, items bought with a subscription are skipped (change this with Exclude subscription products from discounts in Cart Editor → Settings → Discount Settings), and so are free gifts and items added through Frequently Bought Together or upsell discounts.

Under Settings → Show Advance Settings, Discount Application Strategy lets you set volume discounts to Manual. The cart still shows the steps, but Oxify applies no automatic discount at checkout, and you manage the discount yourself in Shopify.

When this works

Best on consumables (coffee, supplements, candles, socks). Less effective on items shoppers buy one of (laptops, mattresses).
