How to set up tiered product discounts in WooCommerce

Offering discounts based on quantity purchased (known as tiered pricing) is a smart eCommerce strategy for increasing average order value, encouraging bulk purchases, and serving B2B customers.

With the WCB Configurator Builder plugin, you can easily create tiered product discounts using a powerful visual interface; no coding required.

In this guide, you’ll learn step-by-step how to build dynamic, quantity-based pricing rules using WCB Configurator Builder in your WooCommerce store.

What are tiered product discounts?

Tiered product discounts allow you to set different unit prices based on how many items a customer purchases. For example:

• Buy 1 – 4 units: $20 each
• Buy 5 – 9 units: $18 each
• Buy 10+ units: $15 each

This pricing model is perfect for:

• Wholesale stores
• Custom-made or print-on-demand products
• Subscription boxes
• Services billed by quantity

Why use WCB Configurator Builder for tiered pricing?

The WCB Configurator Builder plugin is a block-based WooCommerce product configurator that lets you:

• Add extra product fields like dropdowns, numbers, and checkboxes
• Define advanced pricing logic (using formulas or price tables)
• Display real-time price updates on product pages

This makes it the perfect tool for setting up tiered pricing based on quantity, measurements, or other inputs.

Step 3: Add a quantity input field

1. Go to WCB > inputs and add a WCB input field
2. Choose Field Type: Number
3. Label it “Quantity”
4. Set:
   • Min: 1
   • Step: 1

• Publish the product when you’re ready to go live

Tip: Show tiered pricing table on the product page

This boosts trust and increases conversion rates by showing customers exactly how much they’ll save.
