# Discount strategy (stack vs best price)

When a customer qualifies for both a **wholesale pricing rule** and a **volume pricing rule** simultaneously, the app needs to know how to handle it.

***

## Best price (default)

The app calculates the final price under each matching rule and applies the one that gives the customer the lowest price.

**Example:**

* Wholesale rule: 20% off → product costs $80
* Volume rule (buying 10+): 15% off → product costs $85
* Result: customer pays **$80** (wholesale rule wins)

This strategy always benefits the customer.

***

## Stack discounts

Both discounts are applied on top of each other.

**Example:**

* Wholesale rule: 20% off
* Volume rule: 15% off
* Combined: \~32% off → product costs \~$68

> Use stack discounts carefully — the combined discount can be deeper than intended.

***

## Change the strategy

1. Go to **Settings → General**
2. Find **Discount strategy**
3. Choose **Best price** or **Stack**
4. Save

The change applies immediately to all new cart sessions.
