Quantity discount for B2B offers

Quantity discounts let you offer lower prices to business-to-business (B2B) buyers who order several units of a product at once. You can define up to 5 discount tiers per B2B offer. Each tier sets a minimum order quantity and the discount that applies from that quantity on. Only one discount type can be used per offer.

Info: Quantity discounts are not limited by the “Min price” and may fall below it. This applies to all three discount types. In the product settings form, a warning icon is displayed next to a tier’s “Price per unit” when the price falls below the B2B “Min price”. Despite the warning, the tier can still be saved and sent to Amazon. For the “Percent of business price” and “Total discount” types, the warning is not displayed if the B2B price is 0 or empty.

1. Where to find quantity discounts

The "Quantity discount" block is located on the "B2B" tab, below the "Min price" and "Max price" fields. It can be opened for one product or for several products at once:

  • For one product: Repricer | My products > "Update" button in the product row > "B2B" tab > “Quantity discount”
  • For multiple products: Repricer | My products > product checkboxes > "Bulk edit" > "B2B" tab > “Quantity discount”

Whether a product has quantity discounts is shown in the "Quantity discount availability" column of the "My products" table as "Present" or "Absent".

2. Discount types

  • Percent of business price: reduces the B2B price by the entered percentage.
  • Fixed prices: sets a fixed discounted price per unit that does not depend on the B2B price.
  • Total discount: sets the total amount saved on an order with the minimum quantity. The discount is distributed evenly across the minimum quantity to calculate the discounted price per unit: B2B price − (Discount amount ÷ Minimum quantity). The resulting price per unit is rounded to the currency's precision. The total savings equal the entered discount amount only when the minimum quantity is ordered. Larger orders result in greater total savings. Info: Amazon accepts quantity discounts only in the form of a price per unit. Therefore, the entered “Total discount” amount is converted into a discounted price per unit before being sent to Amazon.

For "Percent of business price" and "Total discount", the resulting price is displayed in the read-only "Price per unit" column when editing a single product. The price is calculated based on the B2B price last accepted by Amazon from Repricer. Any changes to the B2B price are reflected in this column only after they have been accepted by Amazon.

Example: With “Total discount”, a B2B price of 479.99, a “Minimum quantity” of 3, and a “Discount amount” of 50.00 result in 463.32 per unit after rounding. Three units cost 1,389.96 and save 50.01. Four units cost 1,853.28 and save 66.68.

3. Rules for tiers

  • All fields are mandatory.
  • "Minimum quantity" must be a whole number greater than 1. Decimal values are rounded down to a whole number on save (for example, "3.7" is saved as "3").
  • The discount value must be greater than 0 and can have up to 2 decimal places.
  • "% Off" must be below 100.
  • "Minimum quantity" values must increase from tier to tier.
  • Each higher tier must offer a better deal, according to the following rules:
    • “Percent of business price” > The “% Off” value must increase.
    • “Fixed prices” > The “Price per unit” must decrease. If a B2B price is set and is greater than 0, the tier’s “Price per unit” must be lower than the B2B price.
    • “Total discount” > The discount per unit (calculated as "Discount amount" ÷ “Minimum quantity” and rounded to the currency's precision) must increase and remain greater than 0. Tiers with the same discount per unit after rounding are rejected, as they result in the same price per unit. Example: For the “Total discount” type, a tier of 2 units / 4.00 followed by a tier of 3 units / 5.00 is rejected because the discount per unit decreases from 2.00 to 1.67, despite the higher total discount amount.

Note: Tiers are not sorted automatically. Only two errors are flagged during editing: a “% Off” value of 100 or more, and “Fixed prices” values that do not decrease from tier to tier. All other rules, including the tier order for the other discount types, are checked only after clicking “Save” or “Apply”.

4. Set up quantity discounts for one product

  1. On the "My products" page, click the "Update" button in the product row.
  2. Open the "B2B" tab and scroll to the "Quantity discount" block.
  3. Select the discount type: "Percent of business price", "Fixed prices", or "Total discount".
  4. Click the "Set prices" button to add a tier. The new tier is prefilled with "2" in "Minimum quantity".
  5. In the "Minimum quantity" field, enter the number of units from which the tier applies.
  6. Enter the discount value in the "% Off", "Price per unit", or "Discount amount" field. Where displayed, check the calculated "Price per unit".
  7. Repeat steps 4–6 to add up to 5 tiers.
  8. Click "Save".

Note: Switching the discount type clears the table. Rows of the previous type are not restored when you switch back. Only the tiers of the selected type are saved.

To edit a tier, enter new values in its fields. To move a tier, drag it by the drag handle (four-way arrow icon). To delete a tier, click the "Delete" icon (trash can) in its row; the tier is removed without confirmation. To remove all quantity discounts from the product, delete every tier and click "Save".

5. Set up quantity discounts for multiple products

  1. On the "My products" page, select the checkboxes for the products.
  2. Click "Bulk edit".
  3. Open the "B2B" tab and select "Edit" in the "Quantity discount" dropdown.
  4. Select the discount type and add up to 5 tiers with the "Set prices" button.
  5. Click "Apply".
  6. In the "Confirm bulk edit" dialog, check the changed fields and the number of selected products, and click "Confirm".
  7. Wait for the "Changing completed!" message, or click "Back to products" and check the result on the "Import" page.

Notes: 

  • The new tiers replace the existing quantity discounts of all selected products, regardless of their previous discount type. Selecting "No changes" in the "Quantity discount" dropdown keeps the current quantity discounts of the selected products unchanged.
  • Rules that depend on the B2B price are validated separately for each product. For “Fixed prices”, the “Price per unit” must be lower than the B2B price. For “Total discount”, the resulting price per unit must remain greater than 0. Products that do not pass these validations remain unchanged and are marked with an error in the bulk edit results. However, errors related to an incorrect tier order or a “% Off” value of 100 or more cause the entire bulk edit operation to be rejected.

6. Remove quantity discounts from multiple products

  1. On the "My products" page, select the checkboxes for the products and click "Bulk edit".
  2. Open the "B2B" tab and select "Clear" in the "Quantity discount" dropdown.
  3. Click "Apply" and then "Confirm".
