Fixed Quantity Tier Pricing & Order Limits
The Opportunity
An app that lets merchants sell products only in predefined quantity tiers like 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, or 1000, with a specific price or discount assigned to each tier. It would replace custom quantity entry with a controlled tier selector so customers can only purchase valid pack sizes.
"Merchants need to prevent arbitrary quantities and enforce pack-size purchasing while automatically applying the correct price for each tier."
Market Validation
Detailed Analysis
Proposed Solution
Provide tier-based quantity rules at the product or variant level, with a tier selector on the product page and automatic price mapping for each tier. The app should validate the cart so customers cannot bypass tiers, and optionally sync tier stock rules if merchants want inventory management across tiers.
Target Audience
Wholesale sellers, B2B merchants, manufacturers, bundle/pack-size retailers, and stores selling products in fixed case or pack quantities
Competitive Landscape
BSS B2B/Wholesale Solution, Wholesale Club, VolumeBoost, MinMaxify, Bold Quantity Breaks, Order Limits apps
Implementation Notes
Use product page widgets or theme app extension blocks to replace the default quantity input with a fixed tier selector, store tier-to-price rules in app settings or metafields, enforce cart validation with cart/checkout validation where available, and support variant mapping or automatic discounting depending on merchant preference. Include bulk rule import, per-product overrides, and conflict handling with themes and discount apps.
