Overview

The Quantity Breaks Bundle Offer is a core feature of the Easy Quantity Bundle App. It allows merchants to create tiered pricing rules based on the quantity a customer purchases. As customers add more units of the same product (or selected products) to their cart, they automatically unlock better prices or discounts.

This feature is designed to increase Average Order Value (AOV), encourage bulk purchases, and simplify promotional strategies without requiring discount codes.

Key Value & Benefits

Increase AOV Effortlessly

Quantity-based incentives nudge customers to buy more items in a single order by clearly showing the savings at higher quantities.

Clear Price Motivation for Customers

Tiered pricing (e.g. Buy 2, Buy 3, Buy 5) makes the value immediately visible, reducing decision friction and improving conversion rates.

Automatic Discount Application

All discounts are applied automatically at checkout—no coupon codes required. This ensures a smooth and reliable buying experience.

Flexible Discount Types

Merchants can configure different discount strategies for each tier, such as:

  • Percentage discounts

  • Fixed amount discounts

  • Buy X get Y free discounts

  • Free gifts

  • Mystery Box

Seamless Theme & Cart Integration

Quantity Breaks Bundles can be displayed directly on the product page and reflected in the cart, keeping pricing logic transparent throughout the purchase journey.

How Quantity Breaks Bundle Works

  1. The merchant defines quantity tiers (for example: 2+, 3+, 5+ units).

  2. Each tier is assigned a discount rule.

  3. When a customer increases the quantity, the best applicable tier is automatically applied.

  4. The final discounted price is reflected instantly on the product page and at checkout.


Best Use Cases

Bulk Purchase Promotions

Ideal for encouraging customers to buy more of the same item, such as "Buy more, save more" campaigns.

Everyday Low Pricing Strategy

Instead of running time-limited promotions, merchants can offer ongoing quantity discounts as a long-term pricing strategy.

Inventory Clearance

Perfect for moving excess stock by incentivizing customers to purchase larger quantities.

B2B & Wholesale Orders

Supports wholesale-style pricing where buyers expect lower unit prices at higher volumes.


Supported Product Scenarios

Quantity Breaks Bundle Offers work best with products that:

  • Are frequently purchased in multiples

  • Have standardized variants or simple options

  • Benefit from repeat or replenishment behavior

Examples include:

  • Consumables (supplements, skincare, coffee, pet food)

  • Apparel basics (T-shirts, socks, underwear)

  • Home & lifestyle items (candles, cleaning supplies)

  • Stationery & office supplies

  • Digital or low-fulfillment-cost products


Why Choose Quantity Breaks Bundle

Compared to traditional discounts or manual bundle setups, Quantity Breaks Bundles:

  • Reduce operational complexity

  • Scale easily across multiple products

  • Provide a clearer value proposition to customers

  • Deliver consistent AOV uplift without harming conversion


Summary

The Quantity Breaks Bundle Offer is a high-impact, low-friction bundling strategy that helps merchants sell more units per order while delivering clear value to customers. Whether you're running DTC promotions, clearing inventory, or supporting wholesale buyers, Quantity Breaks Bundles provide a flexible and scalable solution.

If your goal is to increase AOV while keeping the buying experience simple and transparent, Quantity Breaks Bundle Offers are an essential feature in your store.
