# How to Promote Bulk Purchases with Volume Pricing 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**:

* 🧮 **Volume Pricing (VP)**
* 📏 **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:**

| Quantity Range | Discount |
| -------------- | -------- |
| 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**

1. Go to **Order Limit (OL) Rules** in the app dashboard.
2. Click **Create New Rule**.
3. 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**.
4. 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 Volume Pricing**

1. Go to **Volume Pricing.**
2. Click **"Add Rule"**.
3. In **Apply to Products**, select **Product collections → Summer Fruit Collection**.
4. In **Volume pricing settings**, choose **Quantity-based pricing**.
5. Create the following tier settings:

| From | To            | Discount Type  | Value |
| ---- | ------------- | -------------- | ----- |
| 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 **Volume Pricing** features work together to promote higher-value orders and increase your store’s average order size.
