Set Up Tiered Pricing
Enter retail price (₹500/piece) and set discount tiers: 10-49 pieces = 0% (retail). 50-99 = 15% off (₹425). 100-499 = 25% off (₹375). 500+ = 35% off (₹325). This is standard tiered pricing used by Meesho, Flipkart wholesale. Why tiered? Incentivizes larger orders (increases average order value). Wholesale buyers expect progressive discounts. At 50 pieces, cost ₹200, margin = ₹225 (45% - healthy). At 500 pieces, margin = ₹125 (33% - lower but volume compensates). Calculate breakeven: margin % x quantity should pay for operational costs. If overhead ₹5,000/month, need 25 orders of 20 pieces = ₹312,500 revenue, profit ₹156,250.
Discount Percentage vs Fixed Discount
Percentage Discount: base ₹500, 20% off = ₹400 (simple). Fixed Discount: base ₹500, subtract ₹100 = ₹400 (same result). Percentage better for transparency: "20% off" is clear to buyers. Use percentage for most tiers. Fixed discount useful when costs vary (special seasonal pricing). Example: "Buy 100 pieces sarees, normally ₹500, wholesale ₹380 (₹120 fixed off)" shows specific savings amount. Psychologically, ₹120 off sounds better than "24% off." Fixed pricing also useful for minimum profit: "Cost ₹180, minimum margin ₹100, wholesale minimum ₹280." Use whichever is easier to calculate for your cost structure.

FAQ
What is the minimum quantity per tier? Industry standard: 10, 50, 100, 500 pieces (doubling pattern). For high-value items (jewelry): 1, 5, 10, 50. For commodity items (buttons): 100, 500, 1000.

Lower tiers have higher margins because volume reduces operational cost per unit. Should I offer payment discounts? Yes, 2-3% off for prepaid (cash flow helps). Offer 30-day terms for credit (net 30). Do I charge shipping on bulk? No, include in wholesale price or offer free shipping above ₹10,000. What if costs fluctuate? Adjust pricing quarterly. Communicate changes in advance (do not surprise buyers with sudden 20% hike). Should I negotiate tier 4 prices? Yes, for very large orders (1000+ pieces), custom negotiate (best effort pricing). Most profitable orders are tier 2-3 (balanced volume + margin).
