Volume and quantity discounts are powerful way to encourage your customers to purchase more items by offering progressively better deals as quantities increase. These automatic discounts help increase your average order value while providing clear value to customers who buy in bulk.
You can use Volume & Quantity discounts across entire collections and even the entire store.
Note: You can A/B test each bundle you create. You can create up to 4 versions, test each version performance, and iterate.
To create a version to test, click on the "Add variant" on the top right of the editor:
