A volume discount is a price benefit linked to purchasing more, for example when an order reaches a defined quantity. Tiered pricing describes a structure for expressing quantity-dependent terms.[1][2] The benefit may apply to the whole purchase or only part of it; tier structures are not automatically equivalent.

A discount may be outweighed by storage, financing and wastage. As a seller, explain how returns affect qualification rather than leaving the calculation implicit.
