# Overview

Volume pricing automatically discounts products when customers buy more. Tiers are shown in a live table on your product pages so customers know exactly what to buy to unlock a better price.

***

## How it works

1. You create a volume pricing rule and define tiers — e.g. buy 10+ → 10% off, buy 50+ → 20% off.
2. The tier table appears on your product pages automatically.
3. When a customer adds items to their cart, the correct discount is applied at checkout — no coupon codes needed.

## Two volume types

| Type         | Based on          | Example                   |
| ------------ | ----------------- | ------------------------- |
| **Quantity** | Number of units   | Buy 10–49 units → 10% off |
| **Amount**   | Total order value | Spend $500+ → 5% off      |

***

## Discount types per tier

Each tier can use its own discount type:

| Type            | What it does                                   |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **Percent off** | Reduce price by a percentage                   |
| **Amount off**  | Reduce price by a fixed dollar amount per unit |
| **Fixed price** | Set a specific unit price for this tier        |

## Storefront table

A pricing table is shown on product pages listing all tiers. Customers can see at a glance what quantity they need to reach the next tier.

You can customize the table style in **Theme Editor → Volume Pricing Table block settings**.
