How to create a custom app for a tile store offering quantity discounts?

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

A tile store owner seeks an app to manage quantity discounts for approximately 2,000 products with varying pallet sizes (e.g., 40-60 cartons per pallet).

Key Requirements:

  • Bulk discount configuration capability to avoid manual entry for each product
  • Flexibility to handle frequent price adjustments
  • Ability to set discounts based on square meters rather than box quantities
  • Example: 40 cartons = 57.60 square meters triggers a guaranteed 10% discount (e.g., €35/sqm)

Challenge: Standard Shopify quantity discount apps don’t accommodate the store’s pricing structure, which sells tiles by boxes online but calculates discounts based on total square meters.

Suggested Solution: One user recommended the Custom Price Calculator app, which supports custom discount formulas and may handle the complex pricing requirements.

Status: The discussion remains open, with the store owner seeking additional recommendations or confirmation that the suggested app meets their needs.

Hello,
I need an app with which I can offer quantity discounts and display them on the product page. The usual Shopify quantity discount apps do not fit my store. I sell tiles and have up to 2000 products in my store. From one pallet the customer gets a better price. Now it is so that each product has a different quantity on the pallet. A pallet could have 40 cartons or 60 cartons. It depends on the product. So I need an app where I have a bulk function. Because I can’t enter 2000 items manually, because we have price adjustments all the time. In addition, I want to show the base price in the discounts. I sell the tiles in my onlineshop in boxes. Essential, however, is the base price, that is, the square meters. To summarize again, I should be able to enter in the app that, for example, from a quantity of 40 cartons, which corresponds to 57.60 square meters, a discount of 10% is guaranteed, which corresponds to a price of, for example, 35€/sqm.

Maybe there is someone here who can help.
If there are any questions, just contact us.
Thank you!

I would highly recommend Custom price calculator. They offer custom discounts and you can use formulas.
