# 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://orbit-b2b.gitbook.io/orbit-b2b-docs/settings/discount-strategy.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
