What volume pricing is
Volume pricing lets you offer a lower price per unit for larger orders. A buyer ordering 5 bags pays one price. A buyer ordering 100 bags pays a lower price per bag. This is standard in wholesale trade and helps you attract larger orders while rewarding buyers who commit to volume.
How to add pricing tiers to a listing
- Go to Marketplace → My listings
- Open the listing you want to configure, or create a new one
- Scroll to the Pricing section
- Toggle on Volume pricing
- Click Add tier for each price level
For each tier, enter:
- Minimum quantity — the order size at which this price applies
- Price per unit — the price at this quantity level
Example
A palm oil seller might set:
- 1–9 jerry cans: ₦18,000 each
- 10–49 jerry cans: ₦16,500 each
- 50+ jerry cans: ₦15,000 each
When a buyer selects a quantity, AADOPS automatically applies the correct tier price and shows the buyer their savings compared to the base price.
Saving your tiers
After entering all your tiers, click Save listing. The pricing tiers are immediately visible to buyers browsing your listing.
Tip: Make the discount meaningful at each tier — a ₦50 reduction on a ₦15,000 item will not motivate a buyer to order more. A 5–10% reduction at each step is typically enough to influence buying behaviour.
