What Is Bulk Pricing And Discounts In WooCommerce?

Bulk pricing and discount is a method to offer discounts based on the product quantity. Wholesale sellers use this method to increase their revenue and attract more bulk buyers. It helps sellers to lure more buyers and increase their eCommerce store’s revenue. It allows store owners to select the discount rate they want to offer to the customer. 

In simpler words, the discount rate increases as the product quantity increases and vice versa. Let’s understand this with a short example. 

For example: 

  • If a customer purchases 25 t-shirts, he/she will get a discount of $20. You can decide whether the discount should be applied to each unit or the total price.
  • If a customer purchases 50 t-shirts, he/she gets a discount of $40. Again, you can select the discount amount.

From this illustration, we understood that discount rates increase as the quantity increases. Interestingly, this method is also related to tier-based pricing. This means that the users will get this amount of discount if they fall into this tier. For instance, if you create three levels: 

Tier 1: If a buyer purchases between 1-20 units, one unit will cost $15

Tier 2: If a buyer purchases between 21-50 units, one unit will cost $10

Tier 3: If a buyer purchases between 51-75 units, one unit will cost $8.5

Now, if a buyer purchases 20 units, it will cost him $300. However, if he/she buys 65 units, it will cost him $685. In short, the discount will increase as the quantity increases. 

We have now understood the basics of bulk pricing and discounts in WooCommerce with examples. Now, let’s find out some benefits of using bulk pricing and discounts on your eCommerce store.
