How to create a Volume discount (Quantity selector)?

Last updated on May 6, 2026

Create a Volume discount (Quantity selector) with DealUp to apply discounts based on purchase quantity. This feature includes an interactive widget where customers choose their preferred quantity and add items directly to the cart. Each discount tier uses a radio button, allowing customers to easily select and apply their desired savings level.

Step 1: Creating an Offer

To create a new offer:

  1. Click on Volume Discount (Quantity selector) option from Dashboard.
  2. Click on Create Campaign button.
  3. Select your preferred discount type—either Automatic or Code—as shown by the number 1 in the image below for DealUp.
    • With DealUp, you can create a total of 25 automatic discounts and 500 discount codes, no matter which discount type you choose.
    • Shopify automatically applies automatic discounts at checkout for your customers.
    💡 Automatic discounts remain active even if the app embed is disabled. Note that DealUp automatic discounts cannot be tested in a draft theme, as they will apply to your live theme as long as they are active. Please deactivate the discount if it is no longer required.
    • DealUp automatically applies code discounts at checkout.
    💡 You can test code discounts in a draft theme. When the app embed is disabled in a specific theme, DealUp discounts will not apply there. This allows you to disable the app in your live theme and enable it in a draft theme for testing purposes.
  4. Input a name for your discount (labeled “2” in the image above). This title will be displayed as the discount code that customers see during checkout.

Step 2: Choosing the Discount Type

Then, select your preferred discount category. DealUp provides two distinct types:

Updated Discount Types

  • Percentage: Applies a specific percentage discount to the product's sale price for every unit purchased.

  • Fixed amount on each item: Applies a set discount amount to the product's sale price for every unit purchased. This option is only available in the store's default currency with DealUp.

Step 3: Setting Discount Tiers

Decide on the number of discount tiers to offer. With DealUp, you can add up to 20 discount tiers.

For each tier, define the following:

  • Quantity threshold

  • Discount value or percentage

For example:
If you set Tier 1 at 2 items and Tier 2 at 4 items, a customer who adds 3 products to their cart will receive the Tier 1 discount from DealUp.

Optional Settings in DealUp

  • Highlight Tiers: Draw attention to specific tiers by adding highlights like Most Popular or Best Savings (marked "1" in the image).

  • Set Default Selection: Choose which tier is automatically selected within the widget (marked "2" in the image).

  • Customize Text: Edit the specific text for each tier individually using the Customize text option (marked "3" in the image).

Step 4: Choosing Applicable Products

Select the specific products that qualify for this discount in this section of DealUp.


Select from these configuration options in DealUp:

  • All Products: Apply the discount to your entire store. You can also exclude certain products, collections, or tags.

  • Specific Products: Apply the discount only to the products you select.

  • Specific Collections: Apply the discount to all items within chosen collections. You have the option to exclude specific products, collections, or tags.

  • Specific Tags: Apply the discount to products labeled with chosen tags. You can also exclude specific products, collections, or tags.

Step 5: Deciding Customer Eligibility (Optional)

In this section, you can specify which customers qualify for the DealUp discount. You have three options:

  • All Customers: By default, DealUp makes the discount available to every customer.

  • Specific Customers: Choose this option to offer the discount only to selected individuals. You can browse your customer list and pick the specific people you want to target.

  • Specific Customer Tags: Select this option to limit the discount to customers who have a specific tag assigned to them.

💡 Customer Eligibility is exclusive to Automatic discounts and cannot be used with Discount Code types in DealUp.

Step 6: Configuring Additional Settings (Optional)

Adjust the following settings to customize how your DealUp discounts are applied:
  • Apply discount only for the specific quantity


    When enabled, DealUp applies discounts only to the exact quantities specified in your tiers.

    Example:

    If Tier 1 is 2 items for 10% off and Tier 2 is 4 items for 15% off:

    • The 10% discount applies only to exactly 2 items.

    • The 15% discount applies only to exactly 4 items.

    • No discount is applied if the cart contains 3 items or more than 4 items.

  • Also apply discount for products with selling plan

    Turn on this setting to provide discounts for subscription products. Once enabled, DealUp allows you to choose how the discount applies to recurring billing:

    • Discount only the first payment: The discount is applied only to the initial order. All future recurring payments are charged at the full price.

    • Discount a specific number of payments: You can set exactly how many recurring orders will receive the discount.

    • Discount all recurring payments: The discount is applied to every order for the duration of the subscription.

  • Also apply discount for B2B customers

    Turn on this setting to offer the discount to B2B customers. Once active, DealUp discount widgets will be visible to these users.
💡 This feature is compatible only with B2B accounts created natively in Shopify. It does not support accounts categorized as B2B via third-party apps. Use DealUp to manage these native Shopify B2B discounts effectively.

Step 7: Choosing Discount Application Strategy

Decide how discount tiers apply according to the products and quantities found in your customer's cart with DealUp.

Each product quantity will be separately considered to determine the discount tier

Each product’s quantity is calculated separately to determine its discount tier.

Example: If you offer 10% off for 2 items and 15% off for 3 items:

  • Buying 2 units of Product A and 1 unit of Product B means only Product A qualifies for the 10% discount.


Sum up quantities across all applicable products to determine the discount tier

DealUp totals the quantities of all eligible products in the cart to reach a discount tier.

Example: If you offer 10% off for 2 items and 15% off for 3 items:

  • Buying 2 units of Product A and 1 unit of Product B creates a total quantity of 3. Both products will then receive the 15% discount.

Step 8: Choosing Discount Combination Strategy

In this section, select which discount types from DealUp, Shopify, or third-party apps can be combined with your current offer. You can enable combinations with:

  • Product discounts
  • Order discounts
  • Shipping discounts
💡 Make sure to enable discount combinations in any other discount you want to use with DealUp.

Step 9: Choosing Active Dates for the Offer

Once created and saved, the DealUp discount activates automatically by default.

  • Start date: If you want to launch your discount later, schedule it by selecting your preferred date and time in DealUp.
  • End date (Optional): You can also set an expiration date and time to automatically deactivate the DealUp discount after a specific period.

Step 10: Configuring Discount Texts (Optional)

In the Override Default Text section, you can enter a custom heading and description for this discount. If you leave these fields empty, DealUp will show the default text instead.

You can also provide translations for these texts in the other languages supported by your store through DealUp.
