Increasing your store’s Average Order Value (AOV) is one of the most powerful ways to grow revenue without spending more on ads. Among all promotional strategies, “Buy More, Save More” discounts—also called tiered discounts, volume discounts, or quantity breaks—are proven to be one of the highest-converting tactics on Shopify.

How to Add Shopify Buy More, Save More Discounts

Shopify allows you to create tiered discounts natively, but with limitations.

When should you use Shopify’s native discount system?

• You only need simple quantity tiers

• You’re running occasional promotions

• You don’t need automatic discounts displayed on product pages

When should you NOT use native discounts?

• You want auto-applied quantity discounts

• You want Mix & Match

• You want discount tables on product pages

• You want advanced discount logic

• You want A/B testing

• You want tracking analytics
