This promotion type can be setup with a maximum of three discount tiers. Products added to this promotion are both Qualifying and Discountable. At the Till, the discount is not applied to items outside the tier quantities.
An example of a tiered discount is:
- Tier 1: Purchase 2 products for $20
- Tier 2: Purchase 5 products for $40
- Tier 3: Purchase 10 products for $70
How the above example works for products on promotion:
1. Purchase one (1) item – normal retail price is applied.
2. Purchase three (3) items, a quantity that is in-between Tier 1 and Tier 2, then:
- Two (2) items – discounted and sold at $20.
- One (1) item – sold at normal retail price.
3. Purchase multiple tier quantities and the discount will apply. For example:
- Purchase 4 items – total purchase price is $40 (2 x $20).
- Purchase 7 items – total purchase price is $60, with:
- 2 item sold at $20.
- 5 items sold at $40.
