Cart items – Volume/Quantity discount

We’ve introduced one of the most requested features in iCart — Volume/Quantity Discount for items added to the cart. This feature allows you to automatically offer discounts based on the quantity of a specific product or variant in the cart, encouraging bulk purchases and increasing average order value.

⚙️ How to enable volume discount

To get started:

• Go to the Cart Items widget inside the iCart editor.
• Open the Cart items widget.
• Scroll down in the settings and look for “Other upsell” setting.
• Open the Cart items list Volume Discount option.
• Click on the “Enable volume discount” option.

Once enabled, you’ll be able to apply volume-based discounts using flexible conditions and product tags.

🧮 Discount application conditions

You have two options to define how the volume discount should apply:

Apply if equal or greater than quantity added

The discount will apply when the quantity in the cart is equal to or greater than the quantity set.

Example:
If you set a 10% discount for quantity 2 and select this option, the discount will apply when a customer adds 2 or more items to the cart.

Apply on the same quantity only

The discount will apply only when the exact quantity is added — not more, not less.

Example:
If you set a 20% discount for quantity 4 and select this option, the discount will apply only when exactly 4 units of the item are added.

🛠️ Available options

These settings help you customize how volume discounts appear to your customers inside the cart drawer. You can choose a layout and design the offer message to match your brand’s tone and style.

01. Select Layout
Choose how you want to display volume discount offers. iCart provides three layout styles:

• Offer view in box – Shows each offer in a clean, bordered box.
• Offer view in select box – Displays available discounts in a dropdown, allowing customers to select.
• Offer view in text – Shows the offer as plain text without any borders or selection options.

Each layout is designed to suit different types of stores and user experiences.

02. Offer Setting Text
Set the custom message that will appear with the discount offer. You can use the following shortcodes to make the message dynamic:

• {{quantity}} – Will be replaced with the quantity set for the discount.
• {{discount}} – Will be replaced with the discount amount.

Example:
If you write Buy {{quantity}} and save {{discount}}, and your discount is 10% on 2 items, customers will see:
Buy 2 and save 10%

Style the offer using:

• Offer text color: Set the text color for your volume discount offer message. Use this to make your offer stand out or align it with your store’s branding.
• Offer background color: Choose the background color of the offer box or message to improve visibility and branding consistency.
• Offer border color: Set the color for the border around your offer box (applies to the “Offer view in box” layout). This helps highlight the offer more clearly in the cart drawer.

03. Price Text
Display the individual item price using the {{individual_price}} shortcode. This is useful for showing price-per-item when multiple quantities are involved.

Example:
If the customer adds 3 items priced at $10.00 each, your message might display:
$10.00 each

You can customize the styling of this section with the following options:

• Selected text color – Set the text color when an offer is selected.
• Selected background color – Set the background color for the selected offer.
• Selected border color – Define the border color for the selected offer.

04. View More Text
When you have multiple discount offers, the widget will show a “View More” or expandable section for additional offers.

• View more text – Customize the label for this expandable section (e.g., “Select More Offers”).
• View more text Color – Set the text color for the view more link to match your design.

05. Discount Name
Enter a custom discount name that will appear in the cart when the volume discount is applied. This helps both customers and store owners identify which discount was applied.

• You don’t need to create this discount manually in Shopify.
• iCart automatically applies the discount using the name you set here.
• This also makes it easier to track which orders used volume discounts in your reporting.

🏷️ How to set up product tags

To use volume discounts, you must add special tags to your products using this syntax:
ICTQD_{variant}_{qty}_{discount_with_suffix}
