Bulk discounts
Encourage customers to purchase more by providing bulk discounts depending on the ordered quantity and on the specific product.
Bulk discounts can be defined at site-wide (globally), category wise or per product wise. Provide a fixed per product discount or percentage of the total purchase. The plugin implements a greater flexibility in providing discounts without requiring the customers to apply a coupon.
You can also restrict the application of the discount depending on the customer groups.

**Priority of the discounts:
**Here is how the priority of the discount rules is decided. Following is the priority from high to low.
- Product-level settings
- Category-level settings
- Global settings
That is, when there is a product-level discount set and a category-level discount set, the product-level rule would be of higher priority than the category-level rule.
The same goes for the global rule as well. At any cost, the product-level setting would be given the high priority.
Also, when there is a category-level discount set, the product level setting for enable bulk discount parameter should be NO. If not, the product-level setting would be given priority, thus overriding the category level setting.
