The quantity discount allows you to create volume pricing and offer a discount based on the quantity selected.
Please, note: only one quantity discount per product can be applied at the same time
To create a new rule, go to YITH > Dynamic Pricing > “Dynamic Rules dynamic rules page and click on the “+ Add rule” button.
Let’s see how to configure it.
Active rule: Enable or disable the rule by using the toggle.
Priority: set the priority to assign to this rule. Priority is important to overwrite rules (1 is the highest priority).
You can also arrange the priority by dragging and dropping the rules from the rules list:
Rule type: it is set to your previous choice by default, but you can choose to change it here if you want to create a different rule type.
Set up products and conditions
Create a quantity rule for the purchase of: choose if you want to create this rule for all products or products of specific categories/tags.
-
- All products
- Specific products
- Specific product categories
- Specific product tags
You will be able to exclude some products in the options below.
Exclude products from this rule: enable if you want to exclude specific products from this rule and pick:
- Specific products
- Specific product categories
- Specific product tags
(This option is not available when selecting ‘specific products’)
Discount rules: here you can configure the details regarding quantity and price or discount (you can choose between % discount, fixed-amount discount and fixed price).
How to check the quantity
Quantity rule will check: use this option to control how the quantity of selected items will be counted
- Item quantity in cart line, regardless if there are variable products or not in cart. If your rule is set to offer a 50% discount from the 10th item, it will check the quantity of every line in the cart.
In the following screenshot, you see a 50% discount for those lines with more than 10 items, but full price for those with fewer items.
- Single product quantity in cart – variations NOT counted: this option allows you to check product quantity for variable products and count all its variations as one product.
For example, if you offer 50% off 10 or more items and the user adds 4 times size M and 7 times size L of the same product, the total quantity for this product would be 11, so the discount applies.
- Single product quantity in cart – variations counted: this option allows you to check product quantity for variable products and count each variation as a separate product.
For example, if you offer 50% off 10 or more items and the user adds 4 times size M and 7 times size L of the same product, the quantity of each variation does not reach 10, so no discount applies.
- Total number of products in cart.
For example, if you offer 50% off 10 or more items and the user adds 4 of product A, 3 of product B and 8 of product C, the total quantity in cart is 15, so the discount applies.
Products affected by the discount
Apply discount to a different product or category: enable if you want to apply a discount for other products rather than for the products selected for this quantity rule. For example: if a customer purchases 100 business cards (product A), they can get a 10% discount on flyers. (product B)
If you enable this option, then, if the rule conditions (what you’ve set up before) are met, the discount will apply to what you choose here:
- All products (including those that you’ve selected above as a condition)
- Specific products
- Specific product categories
- Specific product tags
You can further restrict the products on which the discount applies by using the Exclude products option.
If you want to apply the discount to the same products that you choose above, then, leave this option disabled.
Show a quantity table
Show quantity & prices in a table: Enable if you want to show the quantity and the prices in a table on the product pages.
If you can’t see the quantity-price table on the products where this rule applies, please, make sure you have enabled the global option Show quantity tables from YITH > Dynamic Pricing > “Quantity table“. From there, you can also manage other options related to the quantity table and what you want to show.
Show discount in loop
Show discount in loop: Enable if you want to show the discounted price (based on the current rule) in the loop, so on the Shop page, category pages and tag pages.

Show custom messages
Finally, you can set up some additional notes on the products where the rule applies:
1. Add a custom message in product with quantity rule: enter a custom text to show on the product pages, when this quantity rule applies. You can use the %items_with_rule_applied% placeholder to show products, categories, or tags to which the discount rule is applied.
2. Add a custom message in products where the discount is applied: enter a custom text to show on the product pages where the discount applies.
Use the placeholder %required_items% to show products, categories, or tags that users must add to the cart to apply the discount rule to the product for which it has been created.
Please note this second box only appears if the Apply discount to a different product or category has been enabled.
3. Add extra notices in quantity table: enter a custom text to show under the quantity table.
