What is a Volume Discount Bundle?

A Volume Discount Bundle is a quantity discount bundle that allows customers to get a discount when they buy a specific product in quantities. For example, "Buy 2, Get 10% Off", or "Buy 3, Get 50% Off".

In this type of bundle, you can define a number of discount options, for which you set a required number of items and a discount type and value.

Demo:

You can check out our volume discount bundle on our demo store.

How to Create a "Volume Discount" Bundle?

To create a Volume Discount bundle, follow these steps:

1. Click on "Create new bundle"

Click on the "Create new bundles" button on the Home page of Fast Bundle or the Bundles tab. This will open the bundle creation menu.

2. Choose bundle type

Choose the type of bundle you wish to create. In this case, we choose the "Volume Discount."

3. Choose the template that suits you the best

You can benefit from the design and the cool features each template offers. In this case, we'll go with the "Free gift deal". Besides the obvious ones, keep in mind that the "Highlight deals" and "Visual Offer" are the only types that offer the ability to "Let the customers choose a different variant for each product" you've chosen for the bundle. We'll discuss this feature further down in this article.

4. Choose what this bundle should be applied to:

In the next step, you would need to decide what product(s) you'd like to apply your Volume offer to:

You can have your offers applied to all your product pages, in which case the 'All products' option would be the best choice.

You can apply your bundles to a group of products by either handpicking the specific products one by one or selecting whole collections.

Or you can select a single specific product as your last option.

If you choose from the group of products manually, or a specific product, you will be able to manually include or exclude certain variants of your products from your bundle offer:

Specific products:

Group of products:

5. Choose the discount type, quantity, title, label, badge, and image for each option:

In this section, define your discount options by choosing the required number of products to purchase (Quantity), the discount type, the amount of the discount, the text on your badge, and each option's label and title.

This template, like others, allows you to add a separate image for each discount tier.

This is especially useful for visually showing the difference in quantities at each discount level.

Optionally, define the first discount option with 1 required item and "No Discount". (You can also set a discount)
​Please note that when your Volume Discounts option's quantity is set to 1, we don't consider it as bundle sales to make sure we keep the situation fair for you.

Select your discount type, which can differ for every option:

Preselect one option by default.

You can have as many discount options as you'd like; however, it's advisable to keep the choice simple for the customers.

6. Choose to add a Free gift or not: (Optional):

Now the real fun begins; in this section, you can choose to add a free gift. Simply click on "Add free gift":

Click on browse and choose the gift product:

Afterward, you can set the quantity of the gift and choose to show the original price of the gift product:

How it looks without the original price displayed:

How it looks with the original price displayed:

There are a few limitations and considerations when it comes to choosing a free gift:

  • You can't limit the variants for the free gift like you can with the normal products

  • The "Free shipping" discount type can't work with the new feature.

  • The free gift does not support the color swatch feature. the main product can still benefit from the color swatch design, but not the free gift

7. Choose the details: (title)

Moving on to the next section, in the Bundle Information section, you can choose a title for the bundle, which will show on the bundle widget.

If you like to publish this type of bundle on the POS system, you can check the box and join the waitlist:

7. Advanced settings:

Variants:

With this bundle, you can give your customers the choice to select different variants within each discount option:

And by checking the "Show theme variant picker" option, the theme variant picker will also be displayed for you.

Otherwise, we hide the theme variant picker to avoid confusion for the customer.

When you only give the customers the option to purchase multiple of the same variants, they can select the intended variant through the theme variant picker.

As you can see, they won't be able to select different variants via the bundle widget:

Pricing:

Show prices per item:

In the advanced settings section, when you check 'Show prices per item', instead of displaying the summed-up price of all items for each option, you can display the price per item for the specific option.


Hide option's compare-at price:

If you'd like to only display the discounted prices for your bundle and not the original prices, you can check this option:

8. Active Dates:

You can specify the active dates for the bundle.

9. Save Your Bundle:

Save your changes, and you are done!

10. View Your Bundle:

You can view your bundle using the 'View on Store' button at the top of the page.

10. Preview Your Bundle:

If you don't want to have your bundle live on your store yet and would prefer to preview before you make your decision, you can change your bundle status to draft before viewing it:
