Buy More, Save More

Sell three where one was the plan.

Quantity tiers on the product page — buy exactly 3, or buy 5 to 10, each with its own percentage or fixed discount.

A LUMÉ demo store, on the product page for one Denim Jacket listed at $79.00. Beside the gallery, under the title, the price and the size row, sits the one element SalesMax draws: a dashed panel headed Buy more, save more! carrying a Best offer badge and three rows, each a quantity of that same jacket. Buy 1 is ticked at the regular price of $79.00, because the booster is set to preselect a default single item. Buy 2 carries a Most popular label and reads You save 10%, $158.00 struck through and $142.20 beside it. Buy 3 reads You save 15%, $237.00 struck through and $201.45 beside it. A Total price line under the rows reads $79.00, with $79.00 each to its right, and the block carries its own Add to cart button. A pointer crosses to the Buy 2 row and presses it once: that row lights, Buy 1 goes out, the Total counts up to $142.20 and the per-unit line settles at $71.10 each. The pointer then presses Buy 3: that row lights, Buy 2 goes out, the Total counts on to $201.45 and the per-unit line settles at $67.15 each. Nothing accumulates at any point — the rows are a single choice, so each press replaces the last rather than adding to it. The store header tally follows the Total and its badge counts units, stepping 1, 2, 3. The pointer rests on the arithmetic, moves to Add to cart and presses it once; the button lights, a tick appears and its label becomes Added, and the loop ends there. Nothing navigates and nothing is added to any cart. The gallery, the breadcrumb, the title, the $79.00 list price, the size row and every printed row label and row price never change. After a pause the page is cut back to its opening state and the loop restarts; that cut is instant, never an animation, because a total seen counting downwards would stage a shopper backing out of a tier, which never happens here.

LUMÉ is a demo store — the jacket, its $79.00 and the −10% at two and −15% at three are LUMÉ’s own rule, not the plugin’s.

▲ +30% order value** 8theme’s own booster registry and the SalesMax landing card both print exactly this figure for tiered quantity discounts, and the published Buy more save more article carries no performance figure at all. 8theme publishes no study behind it and no measurement of its own. Read it as 8theme’s unsourced claim for offers of this type — not a study, not a promise and not a SalesMax measurement. Your own number appears per booster in the SalesMax dashboard.

Where it shows

One field. Seven places. All of them the product page.

The field is called Display Location and it lives in Display Settings. Six of its values are WooCommerce hooks; the seventh hands you a shortcode.

Click a value to move the block.

If you build with a page builder

Wireframe, LUMÉ demo store. The seven slots and their descriptions are the docs’ own; the jacket, its price and the tier rule inside the block are LUMÉ’s.

What the documentation does not place, and this page therefore does not claim.

Everything below is unanswered by the source, so nothing here is asserted either way — check each on a staging copy:

  • Any page but the single product page. No cart, archive, checkout or thank-you rendering is documented.
  • Two blocks on one product. Whether a second booster can draw a second tier table there is not stated.
  • The WooCommerce quantity input. Whether the block replaces it, sits beside it or reads it is nowhere written down.
  • Cross-product totals. Filters choose which products show the block; whether matched products pool their quantities is not said.
  • Variable products, sale prices, tax and stock limits. Not one of the four is mentioned.
  • How the discount reaches the order. The docs say only that it is applied automatically — line price, fee or coupon is never named.
  • Whether the price column is per unit or per line. Never stated, so the demo prints both figures rather than picking one.
  • Any name the block prints. It prints none — the dashed SalesMax tag in the demo is this page’s own marker for the single element the plugin draws; the gallery, the breadcrumb, the price and the size row are WooCommerce’s.
  • Two of the article’s own screenshots. The Styling capture is Smart Product Recommendations’ and the Filters video shows a Frequently Bought Together preview, so no field name on this page is read off either of them.
  • Which spelling is canonical. The article, the docs index and the booster picker all write it without a comma; the comma belongs to the Section title that ships in the field, Buy More, Save More!, which is what the shopper sees.

Confirmed: in Elementor the SalesMax widget places this booster visually, and the admin preview carries desktop and mobile toggles beside an Advanced preview button.

Templates & appearance

Two templates, four strings, one colour.

The math

The math, disclosed.

This booster does not win an order, it makes one bigger. Say 400 orders a month, 10 in 100 take a tier, each adding $25: 400 × 10% × $25 = +$1,000/mo. Press the keys.

What you set on this booster
Bulk Discounts — two strategies

Quantity-Based Discounts fires on an exact number of the same product: one Quantity, a type, a value. Range-Based Discounts takes a Min. and a Max. quantity instead. Rules mix inside one booster — 8theme’s own example runs 3 items for 10% off beside 5 to 10 items for $15 off. No maximum is stated, so none is claimed.

Discount type, and a value

One select, one number. The UI strings are Percentage discount (%) and Fixed discount ($); the prose calls the second a fixed price, the screens say discount. In 8theme’s own storefront capture a ₴15 discount on a ₴13 item rendered that row at ₴0.00.

Custom Badge

The label pinned to a rule. Most popular and No badge are the visible options and both edit screenshots show a select, though the prose reads like free text and gives Hot Deal as an example. Whether the list is longer, or typeable, is unpublished.

Preselected default single item

A checkbox at the foot of Bulk Discounts. Its helper text: it preselects the first item in the booster section without a discount, so the base item is in first. On the storefront that is the Buy 1 row at the regular price, already ticked; behaviour with it off is not shown.

Filters / Apply to

Five sources — All Products, Specific Products, Product Categories, Product Tags, Product SKUs — read with Match any (OR) or Match all (AND). They decide which products display the block; only the operator In list is confirmed.

No Conditions panel

This booster has none. Roles, logged-in state, devices, geography, cart value and first-order rules appear nowhere in its article, and none is borrowed from a sibling.

What every SalesMax booster gets
Optional Settings: priority and dates

Priority, a Start date, a Set end date checkbox and the End date it reveals. The fields read DD.MM.YYYY, so scheduling is day-granular. What Priority orders, which way, its default and the timezone are unpublished.

If nothing shows
The article’s own checklist, in full

Ensure the booster is Active. Check product visibility rules. Verify no conflict with other same type boosters or discounts. Three lines, and that is the whole list.

What the documentation never settles

Whether quantities pool across different matched products. Whether the price column is per unit or per line — the two captures disagree.

FAQ

Questions merchants actually ask

The booster is not showing on the product page. Why?

Work the documentation’s own list first: confirm the selected display position is compatible with your theme, and remember that a custom or heavily modified theme may simply be missing the WooCommerce hooks the six positions hang on. If it is, switch Display Location to Use a Shortcode and place [smax_buy_more_save_more] by hand where you want the block. If you build the single product template in Elementor the documented route is different again — open that template in Elementor, find the SalesMax widget in the widget panel, drag it where you want it, choose the Buy More Save More booster, then save and publish. The troubleshooting list adds three checks: the booster is Active, your product visibility rules, and no conflict with other same type boosters or discounts.

Why isn’t the discount being applied at checkout?

The documentation gives four checks. Make sure the quantity conditions are met — the minimum or exact quantity has to be in the cart. Check that the booster is enabled and correctly configured. Ensure there are no conflicting discount rules from other plugins or coupon settings. And if you are using range-based discounts, verify that the min and max values do not overlap incorrectly. That last one is worth dwelling on, because it is the only hint 8theme gives about overlapping rules: nothing published says which tier wins when two of them match the same quantity — not highest discount, not first match, not last. Build ranges that cannot overlap, and if you must test an overlap, test it on a staging copy.

Can I combine this booster with other SalesMax boosters?

Yes. The documentation’s answer is that you can assign different boosters to different locations, with the caveat that it recommends not overcrowding a single product or page with too many boosters, to avoid confusing the customer. This booster gives you a clean way to honour that: Display Location offers six product-page positions plus a shortcode, so a tier table below the Add to cart button and a different booster further down the page never have to compete for one slot. What is not published is how two discount-type boosters behave on the same product at the same time. The troubleshooting list only asks you to verify there is no conflict with other same type boosters or discounts, which is a warning rather than a rule.

How do I set up a tier — buy exactly 3, or buy 5 to 10?

Both, in the same panel. Bulk Discounts opens with a Discount strategy select. Quantity-Based Discounts applies a discount when the customer purchases an exact number of the same product, and asks for one Quantity, a Discount type and a Discount value. Range-Based Discounts asks for a Min. quantity and a Max. quantity instead, and rewards larger purchases with greater savings across that band. Each saved rule becomes a card in a list carrying its quantity line, its type and its value, with Edit and Delete on the card, Delete all above the list and Add discount below it. You can create multiple rules in one booster and mix the two strategies. How many rules one booster will hold is stated nowhere, so do not plan around a number in either direction.

Does a tier count one product, or everything in the cart?

The documented mechanic is per product. The quantity-based strategy is defined against an exact number of the same product, the block is bound to the product page it appears on, and its rows read Buy 3 or Buy from 5 to 10 of that item. The Filters / Apply to panel — All Products, Specific Products, Product Categories, Product Tags or Product SKUs, evaluated with Match any or Match all — decides which products display the block, and 8theme never says it makes their quantities add up toward a shared tier. It never rules that out either, so treat cross-product accumulation as untested.

A tier table is one way to make an order bigger. The row starts with the boosters that pull on the same number, then runs through the rest of the suite.
