# Combine Variants for Volume Pricing

Apply volume discounts based on the total quantity of all variants added to the cart.

### What This Does

When **Combine Variants for Volume Pricing** is enabled, the app looks at the **total number of items across all variants of a product** to decide which volume discount applies.

Instead of each variant being counted separately, they’re added together.

This makes it easier for customers to reach your bulk pricing tiers when they mix variants like colours or styles.

### Simple Example

**Product:** T-Shirt  
**Variants:** Blue, Red  
**Volume Pricing:**

-   Buy 5+ → 10% off
    
-   Buy 10+ → 20% off
    

#### Without This Enabled

-   Blue T-Shirt: 3
    
-   Red T-Shirt: 4
    

Each variant is checked on its own.  
Neither reaches 5, so **no discount** is applied.

#### With This Enabled

-   Blue T-Shirt: 3
    
-   Red T-Shirt: 4
    
-   **Total:** 7
    

The app counts them together.  
The **5+ tier applies**, and **both items get 10% off**.

### How the Discount Appears

-   Each variant still shows as its own line item
    
-   The same volume discount is applied to all qualifying items
    
-   The discount is visible in the cart, checkout, order confirmation, emails, POS, and Shopify Admin
    

Everything stays clear and itemised, only the quantity calculation changes.

### When to Use This

This works best when:

-   Variants are cosmetic (colour, finish, style)
    
-   Customers commonly mix variants in one order
    
-   You want volume discounts to be easier to qualify for
    

If variants represent fundamentally different products, keeping variant quantities separate is usually better.

### Important Notes

-   This setting applies **at the product level**
    
-   Variant-level pricing (Pro Plan) always counts variants separately
    
-   No changes are needed on the storefront, once enabled, it works automatically
