Seeking app for specific quantity-based discounts in dog food sales?

Topic summary

Shop seeks a Shopify app to price raw dog food minces so that only exact multiples of 14 (14, 28, 42, …) receive a fixed “box” price, while any additional items beyond those multiples are charged at full single-unit price.

Context and need:

  • Previously sold as variants (single vs. whole box); variants were removed due to stock management issues.
  • Goal: apply a specific fixed price per 14-pack, scaled by the number of 14s, with non-multiple leftovers at regular price (e.g., 14 = discounted; 15 = 14 discounted + 1 full price; 28 = discounted x2; 29 = discounted x2 + 1 full price).

Tried/compatibility:

  • Quantity Breaks app tested but conflicts with another installed app, so it’s not usable.

Suggestion offered:

  • iCart Cart Drawer Cart Upsell recommended; it supports quantity-based discounts. The exact “fixed price for multiples, full price for extras” logic may be complex; demo link provided.

Current status:

  • Original poster asked if iCart can precisely implement this rule and clarified they cannot use generic “over X amount” discounts.
  • Unresolved; awaiting confirmation/solution.

Hi everyone, I need a bit of help.

I have been searching through apps for days and can’t find one to suit what I need, does anyone know of a app that can do this for me?

So we are a raw dog food supplier, and we sell minces from many different brands. Our biggest selling brand, we used to do in whole boxes and single minces, the single minces were priced as more than a whole box was, as we match our distributor’s price for whole boxes as whole boxes are easier to sell. We had these set up as variants, but after a lot of stock management problems, we decided to remove the box option and have them as singles but discount the whole box quantities to match the box prices we previously did.

So we need an app where we can set a specific price to a multiple of 14, so 14, 28, 42, etc will be discounted by this specific price and multiplied over the number of multiples. But any numbers in between the multiples is left at full price. So for example, if someone adds 14 to their cart, it will discount it to X price, but then if they add another 1 into the cart, the 14 will stay at X price and the extra 1 will be the full price of a single and if there is 28 in the cart it will be discounted to X Price x 2, but 29 would be X price x 2 and then 1 single at whole price.

I hope that makes sense. We have already tried the Quantity Breaks discount app but unfortunately, their app doesn’t work well with another app we have so we are unable to use it.

I’m not sure if this discount is even possible at this point, but if anyone knows of an app that would be greatly appreciated.

Hello @searnold !

In this case, you should give a try to iCart Cart Drawer Cart Upsell app. It creates discounts on the quantity numbers you add, but as you mentioned the fix price for numbers of quantity and full price for extra quantity is quite complicated. Although you can check the demo store here:

Hope this app will help you at some point with your needs.

Hi ICart, thank you for your reply. Would your app be able to offer the discount for quantity full price for extra? If not I completely understand as it does seem near impossible to find an app that can at the moment, but we aren’t looking for a discount app otherwise, we can’t afford as a small business to have a discount over X amount feature unfortunately, it would have to be the discount type above.
