Switch from Quantity Breaks to Custom Pricing

The Select plan for quantity breaks

Custom Pricing versions

Custom Pricing is available in three different discounting versions:

• Variant Dependant Method (Version 1)
• Draft Order Method (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 when using V1, but not 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.
