Questions merchants ask

BulkPilot Smart BOGO Discounts is a Shopify app that adds Buy 2 and Buy 3 price buttons under Add to cart and applies the tier price at checkout, with no discount code. Each button shows the tier total next to the regular total: with Buy 2 at 10% OFF on a $139.00 product, the button reads $250.20 instead of $278.00. A tap puts that many in the cart. The buttons show on the product page and the cart page.

BulkPilot is free for 1 active rule, and BulkPilot Pro costs $9.99 every 30 days for unlimited rules. Both plans include every feature. Pro has no free trial, Shopify bills it on your store bill, and cancelling on the app’s Plan page puts you back on Free. Uninstalling cancels the charge too.

Yes, BulkPilot works on Online Store 2.0 themes through two app blocks, with no theme code edited. On the app’s Home page, click Add to product page and Add to cart page: each opens the theme editor with the block added, so you drag it under Add to cart or above Check out and click Save. Installing alone does not place the buttons, and they do not show in cart drawers yet. Button colours follow your theme unless you set your own in Settings.

You set a percentage OFF for Buy 2 and for Buy 3 in a rule, and BulkPilot works out the totals. A rule covers chosen products, collections or the whole store, and you can exclude products from it. Each saving can be up to 95% OFF, and the Buy 3 saving must be at least the Buy 2 saving. At 4 or more units every unit keeps the Buy 3 rate: with Buy 3 at 15% OFF on a $139.00 product, 4 units cost $472.60 instead of $556.00. Variants of one product count together, so one blue and one red make a Buy 2.

Switch the rule’s deal type to BOGO: Buy 2 becomes buy 1, get 1 50% OFF, and Buy 3 becomes buy 2, get 1 free. The discount is spread across the units in the cart, and it is the same item, not a free gift. BOGO covers 2 or 3 units; a BOGO rule gives no discount at 4 or more.

One switch in Settings decides whether the tier counts from the current sale price or from the original price. With a $40.00 compare-at price, a $30.00 sale price and Buy 2 at 10% OFF, Current selling price gives 2 for $54.00; Original price gives no tier, because $36.00 each is above the $30.00 sale price. The sale-price guide shows both settings with more numbers.

A button hides when the chosen variant does not have the stock for that tier. Variants that don’t track stock, or keep selling when out of stock, always show the buttons.

No, one BulkPilot automatic discount applies the tier price at checkout. The shopper sees a discount line named “Bulk price — buy 2” or “Bulk price — buy 3+”, and no code box needs filling.

It uses one of the 25 automatic discounts Shopify allows a store, however many products you add. Every product’s tiers run through a single discount called “BulkPilot bulk prices”, so 24 slots stay free for your own deals, and reinstalling reuses that discount instead of adding a second one. Our guide to the 25 automatic discount limit explains why that matters.

It combines with order discounts and shipping discounts, but not with other product discounts. If another product discount applies to the same item, Shopify picks one under its own rules.

Shopify’s built-in automatic discounts can take money OFF at checkout, but they do not add Buy 2 or Buy 3 price buttons to the product page, and each quantity tier is its own discount. BulkPilot shows both tier totals under Add to cart, adds that many units with one tap, and runs every product’s Buy 2 and Buy 3 tiers through one automatic discount.

BulkPilot reads your products and runs its own discount; it reads no orders and stores no customer names, emails or addresses. When you uninstall, Shopify tells BulkPilot to erase your store’s data, and the app deletes your tier rules, settings and session when that request arrives.
