Learn how to set up volume discounts in your bol channel by creating discount price fields, filling them with rules, and mapping them in the Build step.

This article explains how to set up volume discounts on your bol channel and offer discounted prices to customers who purchase multiple items.

---

Before you start

You'll need

• A bol channel

Good to know

• Bol allows up to 3 volume discounts or bundles per item.

• Information about how to remove the volume discount from bol can be found here.

If you use volume discounts on bol in combination with the Repricer, you need to set up discounts in the Repricer as it overrides "regular" volume discounts.

Create discount price fields

You need to create a project field for every volume discount you want to add to your channel.

1. Go to Setup >Project fields.

2. Click + Add project field.

3. For Name, give your field a descriptive name (like price_volume_2).

4. Click Create.

Repeat this for each discount you want to add to your channel.

Example: To have both a 10% discount for 5 or more copies, and a 20% for 10 or more copies, create a project field for both (e.g. price_volume_2 , price_volume_3 )

Fill in discount prices with rules

1. Go to Channels > [your bol channel] > Rules.

2. Click Create rule.

3. Give your rule a descriptive name (like 'Volume discount prices').

4. Click Save.

5. Create a calculate rule to apply discounts.

6. Click Save rule.

Example discount rule

If all

Then take price_volume_2 and calculate take price multiply by 0.9

And take price_volume_2 and round number calculate closest to 1 cent

And take price_volume_3 and calculate take price multiply by 0.9

And take price_volume_3 and round number calculate closest to 1 cent

Note: Apply the round number rule to each price_volume field to prevent discount prices with excessive decimals, which can lead to Bol reporting invalid price errors.

Tip: If you don't want the volume discount for all of your products, you can add a requirement to the 'IF' part of the rule.

Example:

To only have volume discounts apply to items >50EUR, start your rule with the condition

IF price is greater than 49.99.

With this rule, items with empty discount price fields will be sold without the volume discount.

Map your volume discount fields

1. Go to the Build step in your bol channel and scroll to the Volume discount section.

2. At Volume discount, click + Add. The Quantity and Price per item columns will appear.

   1. For Quantity, click Supported values and select the item quantity to qualify for the discount.

   2. For Price per item, select the project fields you created in the first step (e.g. price_volume_2)

3. Click Save.

Note: You can also choose a project field for Quantity to set different quantities for certain items to be eligible for the discount.

To do this, you'll need to create new empty project fields containing the quantities, fill them with values with a rule, and then map them here.
