Adding Quantity Tiers

3 min readUpdated 2026-09-16

Quantity tiers are the heart of every deal — they're the individual "buy X, save Y" options a shopper picks from. On the storefront these appear as rows in the deal bar. This article covers adding tiers and setting each one up.

Adding a Tier

  1. Open the deal you want to edit.
  2. Add a new bar. Each deal needs at least one, and you can add as many as your offer requires.
  3. Bars are ordered by position and each has up and down arrows, so arrange them from smallest quantity to largest for a natural "upgrade" path. Each also has a Remove bar link.

Setting the Quantity and Discount

  1. Enter the Quantity the shopper must buy to unlock the tier — for example, 3. The minimum is 1.
  2. Choose the Price type for the tier. The four options are Default, Discounted %, Discounted € and Specific — see the price-types article for what each does.
  3. Enter the value in the field beside it. It must be greater than zero, and on a Discounted % tier it must not exceed 100. Default tiers have no value field.

Adding Titles and Subtitles

  1. Give each bar a Title — the main line the shopper reads, such as "Buy 3". This is required, and it is also the text that appears on the customer's order as the discount line.
  2. Add an optional Subtitle for supporting text, like "Most popular".
  3. Add an optional Label for a badge, such as "Best value".

Setting a Default Tier

  1. Optionally tick Default option on one bar.
  2. It behaves like a radio button — ticking one clears it from the others, so only one bar can be the default.
  3. The default bar is pre-selected when the product page loads, nudging shoppers toward the offer you most want them to take.

Saving Your Tiers

  1. Save the deal once your bars are configured.
  2. Drip Discounts queues a background job to update the underlying Shopify discount, so the new quantities and savings take effect a moment later rather than instantly.
Warning

the bar Title is the text a customer sees on the discount line of their order, and it is also what Drip Discounts matches on to attribute statistics. Renaming a bar later stops new orders counting toward your figures. Get the title right before you go live.

Well-structured tiers with clear jumps in savings are the single biggest driver of a higher average order value — take the time to make each step feel worth it.
