Tiered or progressive discounts are deals that offers volume discount pricing across the same product such as “Buy 2 for $100, 3 for $120”. With progressive discounts, you can encourage customers to buy more.

Currently, progressive discounts that you set up in your POS won't apply to online sales. Still, if you sell online with Lightspeed eCom, you can offer bulk discount pricing for products and their variants that will apply specifically for online sales and won't affect your in-store discounts. 

On the product page, your customers will see a text explaining the bulk discounts and the discounted prices:

Setting progressive discount pricing for products

A product with a progressive or tiered discount needs to have one or several quantity tiers with prices that are lower than the initial price of the product.

To set the bulk discount pricing for a product:

1. From your POS admin, go to Online, scroll down and click Go to eCom.
2. In your eCom admin, go to Catalog.
3. Open the product you want to add the progressive discount for.

4. In the Pricing section on the right, click Manage pricing options:

   

5. Click Bulk discount pricing to see the bulk pricing settings.
6. Enter quantity and price for the first price tier.
7. (optional) Click Add Row to add another price tier.
8. Save the changes.

If a product has variants such as different colors or sizes, a discount is applied to each variant. That means customers can add different variants to cart to get the discount. For example, add 2 blue t-shirts, 2 green and 1 yellow to cart for a bulk discount that starts from 5 items.

You can add ribbons to discounted products to highlight the deal on the storefront.

Setting progressive discount pricing for product variants

Your products can have different variations, such as size or color. Combining these creates product variants—for example, a green shirt in size M, a green shirt in size L, or a blue shirt in size M, and so on.

You can set a separate progressive discount for each variant. For example, you can offer a larger volume discount for lower-selling variations.

Bulk discounts for product variants apply only when customers add the required quantity of the same variant to the cart. For example, if the discount applies to 2 size M green shirts, a customer won’t get the discount by adding 1 size M green shirt and 1 size L green shirt.

When you add a progressive discount to a product variant, customers will initially see the price of the default variant on the product page. When they select a different variant, the discounts update accordingly. If no default variant is set, the base product price is shown first.

To set the bulk discount pricing for a product variation:

1. From your POS admin, go to Online, scroll down and click Go to eCom.
2. In your eCom admin, go to Catalog.
3. Choose the product.
4. Go to the Options → Variations tab.

5. Find a variation you want to add the bulk discount pricing for and click the pencil icon:

   

6. Click the arrow icon next to the Price field.

   

7. Click Bulk discount pricing to see the bulk pricing settings.
8. Enter quantity and price for the first price tier.
9. (optional) Click Add Row to add another price tier.
10. Click OK, then Save.

That’s it. Now when a customer selects this variation on the product page, they will see its bulk discount info. Discounts will be applied immediately when a buyer adds the eligible quantity of product variation to the cart.
