How to set up tiered discounts on Shopify that work across variants
To give tiered quantity discounts on Shopify that count every variant together, create a quantity break in Happy Bundle: 1 Small and 2 Large count as Buy 3, even when the shopper adds them to the cart separately, and Shopify applies the tier at checkout. Here is how it works and how to set it up.

Why Shopify's own discounts make this hard
An amount off products discount with a minimum quantity gives you one tier per discount, and Shopify allows a maximum of 25 active automatic discounts, so several tiers on many products soon reach that limit. Nothing shows the tiers on the product page unless you add it to your theme. Shopify's volume pricing is for B2B catalogs.
Set it up
- Create a quantity break. In Happy Bundle, go to Offers, click Create offer and choose Quantity break.
- Choose the products. Pick one product, a collection or the whole store. Every variant of the chosen products counts.
- Set the tiers. For example Buy 2, save 10% and Buy 3, save 20%. A tier can be a percentage off, an amount off, a set price or free units.
- Publish and test. Add 1 Small and 2 Large to the cart and check that the Buy 3 price shows in the cart.
How the tier is counted
- Every line of the offer's products in the cart is added up, whatever size or color it is.
- An amount off is taken once for the whole tier, not once per variant.
- A free unit goes to the cheapest item in the tier.
Questions merchants ask
How do I set up tiered quantity discounts on Shopify that also work across variants?

Can a Shopify quantity discount count different sizes and colors of the same product together?
Yes, with Happy Bundle. 1 Small and 2 Large count as 3 items toward a Buy 3 tier.
Does it count different products in a collection together?

What merchants say
Reviews left on the Happy Bundle listing in the Shopify App Store.
I was looking for an app that allowed me to build custom bundles for my site, this app allowed me to do that and more. I was able to be creative with my bundle names (fits my brand/messaging/tone) and i was able to offer many different colour and size options, which are limited with just Shopify! Also, customer service was excellent too …
Excellent app and outstanding customer support!
I'm very impressed with the support team behind Happy Bundle. …
They fixed the cart display, helped with the design colors, and even developed a new "Repeat packs" feature based on our feedback.
It's rare to find such responsive and dedicated support, especially for a free app.
Highly recommended!
