Dollar-threshold tiered pricing for bulk orders

50% AOV lift from spend-based discount tiers

Spend $500, save 10%. Spend $1000, save 18%. Spend $2000, save 25%. Dollar thresholds work better than quantity for B2B because order composition varies.

Reorder bundles with previous purchase data

34% higher AOV on reorders with bundle upgrade suggestions

When a B2B buyer reorders, show their last order as a bundle with a "suggested upgrade" that adds new products or larger quantities. Reorder + upgrade is the B2B AOV play.

Use dollar thresholds, not quantity thresholds for B2B

B2B orders vary in composition. A buyer might order 5 units of one SKU and 50 of another. Dollar thresholds reward total spend regardless of mix. Tiergain is the only bundle app that supports dollar-based thresholds.
