Goal: apply a collective quantity break across a “Plasters” collection so that mixed products (e.g., X of A + X of B) trigger a fixed-price/quantity-break when the total reaches 42+ items at checkout.
Proposed solutions:
Bold Custom Pricing: supports “Mix & Match” labels to group products so combined quantities across labeled groups trigger a quantity-based discount.
Quantity X: Volume Discounts: sets collection-level discounts based on total cart quantity. It doesn’t directly change each item’s base price but applies a fixed amount per item once a threshold (e.g., 42 items) is met.
Implementation (Quantity X):
Create a new offer using “Volume Discount.”
Apply the offer to the specific collection (Plasters).
Set condition to “Minimum Quantity of Items” (e.g., 42).
Choose “Fixed Amount Per Item” for the discount value.
Test with mixed products from the collection to confirm activation at the threshold.
Notes:
“Mix & Match” is an app feature that groups products via labels for combined discount thresholds.

I was wondering whether a specific setup would be possible using any app. We have quantity breaks for many products on our website, but the product we specialise in (Plasters) have a specific quantity break as a collective discount.
All plaster products exist within a collection, and if a customer buys 42x of any plaster product, they get a discount, setting the product to a fixed price. We want our setup to be:
If a customer buys X number of product A and X number of product B, if the total number of plaster products amounts to 42+, the quantity breaks on each product in the checkout become active.
I hope this makes sense, if not, I am happy to clarify further
Bold Custom Pricing will allow you to accomplish this. From their support docs:
“Mix & Match: Customers can purchase multiples of any products with the same mix & match label to receive a quantity-based discount. Example: 2 products from Group A, and 3 products from Group B that both use the “GOLD-STATUS” mix & match label.”
If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.
If you’re looking to set up collective quantity discounts for a collection of products, you can achieve this using the Quantity X: Volume Discounts app. While it doesn’t directly alter the per-item price, it allows you to create a discount system for specific collections based on total cart quantity. Here’s a detailed guide:
**Steps to Set Up Collective Quantity Discounts:**1. Start a New Offer with “Volume Discount”:
In the app’s dashboard, create a new offer.
Select the “Volume Discount” option under Offer Type.
In the “Apply offer to” section, choose “Specific Collections” and select the relevant collection. This ensures only products from that collection are eligible for the discount.
Add products from the selected collection to your cart and confirm that the discount is applied correctly when the total quantity reaches the threshold.
