In Shopify Cart how do I display each product separately to apply discount to specific item in qty?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A user wants to apply a discount to only one unit of a product when multiple quantities are in the cart, while keeping other units at full price. They’re seeking a way to either display each unit with its own price or use a dropdown showing quantities separately.

Proposed Solutions:

  • One responder suggests using the iCart Cart Drawer app’s volume discount feature, which can handle selective unit discounting without custom code
  • Another notes this appears to be two separate questions: creating the selective discount logic and modifying the cart display format

Outstanding Questions:

  • Clarification needed on exact desired cart display behavior
  • Visual examples or screenshots requested to better understand the UI requirements
  • Multiple responders indicate they can help with the discount logic using Shopify Functions-based apps, but need more details about the cart presentation preferences

The discussion remains open, awaiting additional context from the original poster.

In the cart, if I have multiple quantities of a single item and I want to apply a discount to only one unit while keeping the others at full price, how can I do that? I would like each unit to display its own price, or for the product to have a dropdown where each quantity is listed separately.

Hey @NiharA

Yes! You can do this easily with the iCart Cart Drawer Cart Upsell’s Volume Discount feature. iCart allows you to apply a discount to only one unit of a product while keeping the rest at full price.

You don’t need any custom code or Shopify Scripts—just set up a volume discount rule in iCart, and it will handle the rest automatically.

For step-by-step setup instructions, check out this guide: iCart Volume Discount Setup

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi NiharA,

This sounds like 2 questions in one:

  1. How to create a discount that only applies to 1 item?
  2. How to have each unit display its own price/show a dropdown?

Am I understanding this correctly?

Honestly, your question lacks crucial information.

Can you give any examples of what you want? Screenshots/recordings are best, especially for question #2.

Best,

Tobe

Hi @NiharA ,

If I understood you correctly, you want to do the following.

  1. Give a discount to only 1 unit of the product
  2. Show the discount provided in the cart for per item

For (1) - this is simple to do using Shopify functions based discounting apps. Whereas for the second point, I’ll need some references to how you want to show it in the cart to be able to help.
