Show it on your store

Embedded offers on product and cart pages need the Volume Discount block. See Add a widget block to your theme.

Shopify Plus only

The Checkout page option needs Shopify Plus. Embedded is the only display type there, and the offer shows only after you add the Volume Discount block in the checkout editor. See Add a block to checkout, thank you or order status.

Tips

• Two or three tiers are easier to compare than many.
• Make each tier’s saving clear, and make the best deal worth reaching.

If it isn’t working

• The Volume Discount block isn’t on the page.
• The trigger doesn’t match the product being viewed.

For the full checklist, see Troubleshooting.
