Multi-item automatic discount?

I noticed recently in a shop I was browsing (don't remember which) that they mentioned a discount given for multiple items purchased. The discount was "given automatically at checkout." Anyone know how this is done?

Unless there's some new tool I don't know about, they're probably using a third-party app. As far as I know, Etsy doesn't do that yet.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong on that.

That sounds like a cool feature. I think it is in a test market for some shops. My daughter and I have a vintage shop here at Etsy as well and I noticed a different look to our "activities" page which had some sort of option for that in a side bar.

What type of shop was it? For shops that have multiples of the same items, I can see how that would really be helpful.

Re: Multi-item automatic discount?

I think it was a vintage "items" shop - home, houseware, kitchen, etc. - not clothing, which I do. I remember thinking how cool, but tricky if you have a wide price range. I could see buyers purchasing two really low-priced items in order to get a good discount on the third, higher priced item. Still . . . it's a good promotional feature.

Guess I've never figured out how, if it's even possible, to make changes in the check out.

Oooooh..I have been wanting to do this! I have always offered multiple item discounts on sales outside Etsy. I want to do it here but I have no clue. Even free shipping on orders over a certain price point..like on Amazon.

I really want something like this too. To encourage people to buy more than one item at the same time for a bulk discount...

For now, I do offer a discount on multiples. I made a coupon code and put it in all my listings saying that if they purchase more than one, they can use the code at checkout to get the discount.

I'm just trusting that people will not abuse it. So far, no one has. They have only used the code if they purchase two or more items.

I think that sounds great. I do offer free shipping on all additional items and I think it does encourage people to buy more then one thing.

Re: Multi-item automatic discount?

Ah, I never have more than one size or color of any item! Don't know about expedited shipping either as it gets pretty pricey for larger items. But multiple item discounts? Bring it on! I think a lot of buyers would be more willing to buy "outfits" - shoes or bags to wear with a sweater or dress - if they could get a discount. And if they can't make up their minds on which handmade item they want, hey, get a discount and buy both!

Re: Multi-item automatic discount?

Hi Everyone in this thread, Go to https://www.etsyonsale.com/sellers and you get your app there for either % discount or $ value off, you can choose to put your entire shop on sale or just one section. The first time you do it its free, then you have to buy credit (pretty cheap) to do it again. I have used it three times and it's very good! Hope this Helps :-) Tina
