Tiered pricing is not a discount. It is a structure that makes bigger carts feel like the obvious choice.
The hacks
Buy 2 save 10%, buy 3 save 18% on collections
Show the full tier ladder on the collection page. Customers see the next level and add one more piece to hit it. The gap between tiers drives the behavior.
Progressive bundle rewards: discount + free shipping + gift
Buy 2: 10% off. Buy 3: 15% off + free shipping. Buy 4: 20% off + free shipping + free accessory. Tiergain is the only bundle app that combines discounts, free shipping, and free gifts in progressive tiers.
Good/better/best outfit pricing
Basic: top only ($42). Better: top + bottom ($74, save 12%). Best: full outfit ($109, save 18%). The middle tier is the anchor - 63% of buyers pick it.
Per-item price display on tiered bundles
Show "$24/item when you buy 3" next to "$34/item when you buy 1." The per-unit math does the selling. Customers see the savings without doing the calculation.
Seasonal tier escalation for clearance
End of season: buy 2 save 20%, buy 4 save 35%. Aggressive tiers during clearance move inventory without training customers to wait for flat discounts. Tiergain adjusts tier percentages per collection.
Free shipping as the second tier reward
Buy 2: 10% off. Buy 3: 10% off + free shipping. The shipping unlock is the strongest motivator at tier 2 because customers see it as a bonus on top of the existing discount.
Make tier 2 the obvious choice
Price tier 1 just high enough that tier 2 looks like a steal. If tier 1 is $42 and tier 2 is $74 for two items ($37/each), the per-item savings make tier 2 feel like the only rational option.
