Volume Pricing is a pricing strategy that rewards bulk buying by setting lower per-unit rates as the quantity purchased increases. It is configured within a price list using the **Individual Products** type. You can define multiple quantity tiers for each item, specifying the start and end quantities along with the custom rate that applies within that range. When a customer adds an item to their cart, the system automatically calculates the applicable rate based on the quantity purchased.

To set it up:

1.  Go to **Items** > **Price Lists** and click **\+ New Price List**.
2.  Under **Price List Type**, select **Individual Products** - this lets you customise the rate for each product separately.
3.  Under **Pricing Scheme**, select **Volume Pricing**.
4.  Select the **Currency** for the price list.
5.  In the **Customise Rates in Bulk** table, each item shows its **Sales Rate**, **Retail Price**, enter the **Start Quantity**, **End Quantity**, and **Custom Rate**.
6.  Click **\+ Add New Range** under an item to define a quantity tier, set the start and end quantity and the custom rate that applies within that range. Add as many ranges as needed per item.
7.  You can also use **Update Rates in Bulk** to apply changes across multiple items at once, or toggle **Import Price List for Items** to import rates via a file.
8.  Click **Save**.
