Variants for Multipack and displaying line item property

Hey Guys

my question now would be something for the discussion board but I’m fighting with this issue now so long that I want to ask you guys directly to get a solid answer finally! I know shopifys lack of volume based pricing for non shopify plus merchants. Instead of using a Volume discount app/tiered pricing app directly, I thought about this: Creating Variants for every Multipack. Variant 1, 10, 20, 30. Now here comes the challenge, is it possible to somehow code or edit the variants e.g metafields or custom code so that shopify actually recognizes that Multipack Variant 10 are 10 line items of the same product?

Looking forward to hear your answer

I guess you could create an app for the admin api that removes the multipack item and replaces it with 10 x default variant - https://shopify.dev/tutorials/edit-an-existing-order-with-admin-api#edit-the-order

Hey there, thanks for your reply and help. As far as I see this only works in retrospect, which means only after an order has been placed and not during the customers shopping experience or am I wrong?

Well, yes, if you were to make the switch before then you would need your app to create the checkout and apply the custom pricing… That would eliminate the need for multipack variants.
