Short answerShopify lets a store run up to 25 automatic discounts at a time. One discount per product would hit that limit at 25 products. BulkPilot runs every product’s tiers through a single automatic discount, so it takes one slot however many products you add, and 24 stay free for your own deals.

BulkPilot is a Shopify app built for this. See it on the Shopify App Store.

Why the limit bites

Shopify’s automatic discounts are capped at 25 active at once. If each product’s quantity break is its own discount, the slots fill up fast, and your seasonal sales and free-shipping offers need slots too.

Our workaround

  • One discount. On install, BulkPilot creates one automatic discount called “BulkPilot bulk prices”.
  • Tiers live in your rules. Each rule’s Buy 2 and Buy 3 saving is stored in your store, and the one discount reads it at checkout.
  • No duplicates. Reinstalling reuses the existing BulkPilot discount instead of adding a second one.

How it sits with your other discounts

The BulkPilot discount combines with order discounts and shipping discounts, but not with other product discounts on the same item.

Set it up step by step

  1. Install BulkPilot

    Install it from the Shopify App Store. The setup guide on Boldnsmart walks through each screen.

  2. Check your Discounts page

    In Shopify admin, open Discounts. You will see one automatic discount, “BulkPilot bulk prices”.

  3. Add tiers to as many products as you like

    Each new tier rule goes through the same discount; the count on your Discounts page stays at one. More than 1 active rule needs BulkPilot Pro.
