Using Variants to configure volume discounts as "multi-packs" at fixed prices

If you don't want to use our Discounts feature, another way to create volume discounts would use our Variants feature to define "multi-packs" at a fixed price for each pack size:

  1. Add your product in Seller Admin;
  2. Check the "Variants having individual price/weight/stock/SKU" setting;
  3. On the next screen, supply a list of variants (following the format described there) for each fixed pack size and its price; e.g. enter Option 1 Name as "Pack size" and put something like these lines in the Variants configuration list:

    itemname single,6.95,,,Single,,
    itemname 2pack,12.95,,,2-pack,,
    itemname 5pack,29.95,,,5-pack,,

  4. If you will be using weight-based Shipping calculation, you can enter the shipping weight of each whole pack in the appropriate place on each line, like so:

    itemname single,6.95,2.0,,Single,,
    itemname 2pack,12.95,4.0,,2-pack,,
    itemname 5pack,29.95,10.0,,5-pack,,

  5. Inventory Control is not advisable with this method, since it's not possible to track individual units sold in multi-packs configured in this manner.
