If you would like to switch from Quantity Breaks (standalone) to Custom Pricing, Quantity Breaks will need to be uninstalled from your store before you can install Custom Pricing.
There is no migration process available to transfer your Quantity Breaks discounts over to Custom Pricing. You can recreate your quantity breaks discounts in Custom Pricing using the Quantity Breaks plan.
Alert
Before removing Quantity Breaks, it is important to turn off all active discounts. This syncing process will allow Quantity Breaks to remove any hidden variants that have been created on your products.
This article will go over the price plans, versions, and features available in Custom Pricing to help you get set up quickly.
Caution
Quantity Breaks (Standalone) is no longer available for download. You will not be able to reinstall Quantity Breaks once it’s removed from your store.
Custom Pricing allows you to offer varying discounts to specific customers and/or quantity discounts, depending on the plans you have enabled.
The plans are:
- Quantity Breaks ($20.00/month)
- Customer Pricing ($39.99/month)
- Customer Pricing Premium ($20/month)
For a full overview of all the features available in each plan, please visit Customer Pricing Overview & Pricing.
Quantity Breaks Plan
The Quantity Breaks plan allows you to set up volume discounts on your store. This is the only plan you need to recreate your quantity breaks as you have them set up in the standalone version. The Quantity Breaks plan can be used on its own, or in addition to the other plans.
To set up your quantity breaks discounts, you will need to create a Product Pricing Group. For detailed steps and a video tutorial, please visit Create, Edit, or Delete Product Pricing Groups.
Customer Pricing Plan
The Customer Pricing plan allows you to offer different pricing to certain customers, such as wholesale clients or vip members. This plan can be used alone or in combination with Quantity Breaks or Customer Pricing Premium.
To use this feature, you will need to set up customer tags as well as create Product Pricing Groups. For more information on these steps, please visit Create, Edit, or Delete Customer Tags and Create, Edit, or Delete Product Pricing Groups.
Customer Pricing Premium
The Customer Pricing Premium plan can be used in addition to the Customer Pricing plan. This plan allows you to add Detailed Pricing, which is helpful if you have a lot of different products which require specific discounts for different customers. You can also enable auto-tagging using this plan. Auto-tagging will allow Custom Pricing to automatically tag your customers based on certain criteria, such as location and purchase history.
For more information on how to set up Detailed Pricing, please visit Create, Edit, or Delete Detailed Pricing.
Select a Plan
Navigate to Settings > Account Plans and simply toggle on (or off) the plans you need.
Custom Pricing is available in three different discounting versions:
- Variant Dependant Method (Version 1)
- Draft Order Method (Standard - Version 2)
- Accelerated Method (Version 3)
Variant Dependent Method (V1) works similar to the Quantity Breaks (Standalone) version. This method applies the discounts to your products by creating hidden variants. Draft Order Method (V2) and Accelerated Method (V3) apply discounts using Shopify draft orders.
There are various benefits and limitations to using each version. For example, V2 and V3 are faster at discounting your products, however, you can allow discount stacking using Shopify discount codes with V1, but not in V2 or V3.
Alert
It’s important to note that Custom Pricing V3 is installed by default. To determine which method works best for you, please read through to the detailed information in Discount Methods and How to Switch.
