quantity discounts
Volume-based price reductions
Quantity discounts are price reductions offered when a buyer purchases larger amounts of a product or service.
The more you buy, the less you pay per unit—a common practice in wholesale, manufacturing, and retail that incentivizes bulk purchasing.
The supplier offers quantity discounts starting at 100 units.
Businesses use them to move inventory faster and reward high-volume customers, while buyers benefit from lower costs when they can commit to larger orders.
