Is there any way to set a cheaper price when advertising bulk buying an item?

Topic summary

A merchant wants to display bulk pricing (e.g., “from $5”) in Google Shopping ads, similar to competitors on eBay and AliExpress. Currently, Shopify shows only the highest single-unit price ($10), making ads less competitive.

Problem: When offering quantity-based variants (100pcs at $5 each, 50pcs at $7 each, 1pc at $10 each), Shopify displays $10 as the product price in marketing channels, while competitors show the lower bulk rate.

Proposed Solutions:

  • Set unit price to $5 but automatically add 100 pieces to cart with minimum order quantity enforcement
  • Use bundle/multipack features in Shopify to enable tiered pricing

Key Requirement: Google Merchant Center requires exact price matching between the product landing page and submitted feed data. To advertise the $5 price, the product must be listed as a bulk item with that pricing structure on the website.

Hi guys, if you look on ebay and aliexpress and you can see on the listings with multiple variants for quantities it shows something like;

“Item - from $5 - $10”
Variant 1 - 100pcs - $5 each

Variant 2 - 50pcs - $7 each

Variant 3 - 1pc - $10 each

If I do this on shopify, the lowest price shown will be $10. This is affecting marketing and google shopping ads as it shows the price for the product much higher than it is if you buy in bulk. My competitors ads are showing as $5 each.

Is it possible to do something like…

Set the unit price to $5 but when you click it adds 100pcs to your cart? And has a min order qty so they can’t remove them and get the bulk buy price for less than 100.

Other ideas or solutions appreciated.

In Google Shopping, specifically Google Merchant Center, the product or bundle or multipack you list on the website, and it’s price must match between the product landing page and the submitted data in Google Merchant Center.

So if you want to list the $5, you need to submit it as bulk pricing. Below more info:

yeah, You are right
If you wanna do that to scale up your business , you have to integrate ‘BUNDLE’ to shopify as a converting features so as to low the price for more quantity purchase by your customer…I think that is helpful for the solution ?
