You can use Quantity Pricing in the Price and Sale-price properties of an item to offer volume discounts to buyers. Quantity Pricing allows for price discounting on the basis of volume purchased. To use Quantity Pricing, you can enter each quantity and the total price (not the unit price) for that quantity in pairs after the single-item price for an item.
