Managing Volume pricing

On your Discounts dashboard, find the volume pricing that you want to manage, using the actions drop down you can Pause, Copy or Edit an active discount, Resume, Delete or Edit a paused discount or Delete an ended discount.

When you Pause an Active promotion, the discount is no longer visible to buyers and will not be applied in cart. You can restart your promotion at any time by choosing Resume from the Action drop down.

You can Edit, an Active volume pricing discount to change the Offer name, the inventory selection or the end date, or to set, or unset, the single item discount flag:

Setting the flag means that the volume discount will only be applied when a buyer purchases multiple quantities of a single item in your volume pricing discount, not when they purchase single quantities of multiple items in your volume pricing discount. Purchasing two variations of an item is considered multiple quantities of a single item.

If you want to change the discount tiers, Pause your active discount then choose Copy from the Action drop down. You will be able to edit any fields, including the discount tiers, and Launch your new discount.
