What are volume and progressive discounts?

In this article we explain the difference between volume and progressive discounts, and when you would use them

 This article explains the difference between the two types of discounts, and how to use them.

If you’re looking to set up a new discount, we’d advise getting in touch with us at help@thrive4.com to review the setup before applying it to products.

 

Volume discounts

These are applied across the whole order.

  • Percentage discounts: the discount is applied as a percentage to the total of the entire order
  • Price reduction: the reduction is applied to each individual order in the order
  • Fixed price: the fixed price replaces the whole order price (not each order)

Progressive discounts

These are applied step by step to specific items in the order according to your Range settings.

  • Percentage discounts: the discount is applied as a percentage only to orders in the range
  • Price reduction: the reduction is applied only to items in the range
  • Fixed price: the fixed price replaces the price of each order (item) within the range
