Estimated reading: 4 minutes 289 views

Overview

Creating a quantity break offer is a great way to increase your average order value by encouraging customers to purchase products in larger quantities to receive a discount.

Example of a quantity breaks offer:
– Buy 2 and get 15% off.
– Buy 3 and get 20% off.
– Buy 4 and get 25% off.

In this example, the price per item decreases as the quantity purchased increases. This encourages customers to buy more items to take advantage of the lower price per unit.
