How to Promote Bulk Purchases with Quantity Break and Order Limit
During B2B sales, many store owners want to encourage customers to buy in larger quantities by offering attractive tiered pricing. However, Shopify’s default settings don’t allow enforcing minimum purchase quantities or amounts.
The B2B/Wholesale Solution app helps you run a wholesale store more effectively — especially through two key features designed to boost sales per order:
🧮 Quantity Break (QB)
📏 Order Limit (OL)
Both features work together to motivate bulk purchases and reward loyal buyers with better pricing.
🎯 Use Case Example
Goal: Require customers to buy at least 5 products from the “Summer Fruit Collection” to check out.
Tiered Pricing Structure:
5–10 products
10% off
11–15 products
15% off
16+ products
20% off
This setup helps increase order volume while maintaining flexible discounts.
⚙️ Step 1: Set Up Order Limit Rule
Go to Order Limit (OL) Rules in the app dashboard.
Click Create New Rule.
In the new rule:
Set Rule Type to match your business goal (quantity or amount).
Under Minimum, enter 5 (to require at least 5 items).
Under Apply to Products, choose Product collections → Summer Fruit Collection.
Click Save to apply your settings.
✅ This ensures customers can only proceed to checkout once they add at least 5 products from that collection.
💰 Step 2: Create Tiered Pricing Rules with Quantity Break
Go to Quantity Break / Amount Break (QB/AB) Rules.
Click Create New Rule.
In Apply to Products, select Product collections → Summer Fruit Collection.
In Rule Settings, choose Quantity Break.
In Quantity Settings, select Minimum Order Qty.
Create the following tier settings:
5
10
Percentage (%)
10%
11
15
Percentage (%)
15%
16
Leave blank
Percentage (%)
20%
📌 Notes:
“From” defines the minimum quantity for each tier.
“To” defines the maximum quantity (leave blank for unlimited).
Discount Type: Choose “Decrease original price by percentage (%)”.
Value: The discount percentage applied within the range.
✅ Result
Customers must buy at least 5 products to checkout.
The app automatically applies tiered discounts based on total quantity.
Both Order Limit and Quantity Break features work together to promote higher-value orders and increase your store’s average order size.
