# Quantity breaks

> Automatic per-product volume discounts: buy more, pay less per unit.

<Tip>**Plan:** Starter or Pro.</Tip>

A quantity break rewards a bigger basket: "buy 2, get 10% off", or "buy 2, get 1 free". The discount applies automatically, with no code for the buyer to enter.

Open **Settings → Quantity breaks**. You can configure up to **100 products**, each with up to **5 tiers**.

## The two tier types

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Percent off">
    Set a **from quantity** (2 or more) and a **discount** between 1% and 90%. Quantities and discounts both have to increase down the ladder. Sendway shows you the plain-language result: *"Buy 3+ and get 10% off every unit."*
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Buy X get Y free">
    Set how many the buyer **buys** and how many they **get free**. Sendway works out the threshold and the equivalent percentage for you: *"Buyer pays for 2, gets 3 (1 free, about 33% off)."*
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

Each product has its own on / off switch, so you can pause a ladder without deleting it.

## Where the buyer sees it

<Columns cols={3}>
  <Card title="In the popup" icon="window-restore">
    A nudge on the cart line in the order summary, with a one-tap action that tops the quantity up to the next tier.
  </Card>

  <Card title="In the cart and Shopify checkout" icon="cart-shopping">
    The discount is applied automatically as an order discount, so the price is right wherever the buyer finishes.
  </Card>

  <Card title="In 1 Step Checkout" icon="bolt">
    Recalculated when the order is created, so the created order carries the same price the buyer saw.
  </Card>
</Columns>

<Warning>
  Quantity breaks do not combine with other discounts. If the buyer applies a discount code, the code wins.
</Warning>

## Tips

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Start with two tiers">
    A simple ladder ("2 for 10% off, 3 for 15% off") is easier to grasp than five steps and usually converts better.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Use it on consumables">
    Products people re-buy (cosmetics, supplements, coffee, socks) are the natural fit: buying ahead costs the buyer nothing.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Check the margin at the top tier">
    The percentage applies to every unit, not just the extra ones. Do the arithmetic at your deepest tier before switching it on.
