# How Custom Pricing and Volume Pricing Work Together

When a customer qualifies for a **Custom Pricing** rule **and** their order reaches a **Volume Pricing** tier, the **tiered discount** will be applied **on top of the custom price**, not the product’s original price.

***

### 🧩 **Example**

* **Original price:** $12
* **Custom Price:** $10 *(applied because the customer qualifies for a Custom Pricing rule)*
* **Volume Pricing rule with quantity-based tiers:**
  * 3–8 items → **10% off**
  * 9–14 items → **15% off**
  * 15–20 items → **20% off**

***

#### 💡 **How It’s Calculated**

If the customer purchases **16 items**, they fall into the **20% discount** tier.\
The discount will apply **on the $10 custom price**, not the original $12 price.

**Calculation:**\
($10 × 16) − 20%($10 × 16) = **$128**

✅ The discount is based on the price your customer actually sees — ensuring consistency and clarity in the buying experience.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs-shpf.bsscommerce.com/b2b-wholesale-solution/use-cases-and-faqs/usecases/how-custom-pricing-and-volume-pricing-work-together.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
