Required: Add a business price
in the business-price row. You must add a business price before adding
quantity discounts. Your business price must be less than or equal to your standard
price. If your business price is higher than your standard price, your business price
will be deactivated.
-
Optional: If you want to enter
quantity discounts, enter your quantity discounts model (fixed or percent) in the
quantity-price-type row. With a fixed model, enter prices of your
choosing for each discount tier. With a percent model, enter
percent discounts for each tier. The percent discounts are calculated based on your
business price.
-
Open the Price Template worksheet.
-
In the quantity-price-type column, select
the discount model you want to use (fixed or percent).
-
Specify your quantity tiers by setting
lower-bounds
in the quantity-lower-bound1, quantity-lower-bound2,
etc. rows. Lower-bounds represent the quantity at which a discount becomes active.
For example, if you want to offer only a quantity discount for customers who buy 10
or more units, enter 10 in the quantity-lower-bound1
field. You can specify up to 5 tiers in the rows labeled quantity-lower-bound1
through quantity-lower-bound5. Each lower-bound has a price, such as
quantity-price1, associated with it in the column adjacent to the
right.
-
Specify your quantity
discounts. If you are using a fixed model, enter the quantity-prices you want to
charge in the quantity-price1, quantity-price2, etc. columns. For example, If you
want to charge $10 per item when purchasing 5 items, $7 per item when purchasing 10
items, and $4 per item when purchasing 15 items, enter the following:
If you are using a percent model, enter a number between 0 and 99 for the discount
you want to offer. For example, if you want to offer 5% off the total when 3 items
are purchased, 10% off the total when 6 items are purchased, and 15% off the total
when 9 items are purchased, enter 5 in the quantity-price1
field, 10 in
the quantity-price2 field, and 15 in the quantity-price3
field:
Note: For the fixed model only,
each consecutive quantity-price must be lower than the last; quantity-price2 must
be lower than quantity-price1, and so on.
Your percent discount will be calculated against your business price. If you are
an FBA seller, leave the quantity and leadtime-to-ship
columns blank. These fields are used for merchant-fulfilled network (MFN)
listings, and entering a value in them will convert your offer to an MFN
offer.
