Boost recurring donations this giving season with the new upsell prompt!With the Shopping Cart in the Classes app, you have the option to create volume discounts for tickets sold in a given order. With volume discounts, you create a code for a given discount in the Shopping Cart and set the quantity required to get this discount. After doing so, you apply this discount code to as many individual Ticket Types on as many different Classes as you would like. For each ticket, you identify the discount price that is used when the discount is applied. If the total number of Tickets with the discount code added to a given Shopping Cart equals or exceeds the quantity, the discount is applied.
The visitor will not need to apply any code on the front-end to receive this discount. It will be automatically applied if their cart order includes the required minimum number of tickets.

Use Case
An arts organization has classes across a wide spectrum of topics. They have a series of dance classes for which they wish to provide a volume discount such that anyone including at least three tickets from any of their dance classes gets 20% off those tickets. For each class, there are public Ticket Types for $100 and registered member Ticket Types for $80. They wish to provide 10% off for both the public and members.
The administrator creates a Discount code of dance123! in the Shopping Cart and sets the Minimum Quantity to 3. She then applies the dance123! discount code to both the public and registered member Ticket Types for all dance classes in the catalog with Volume Discount Price as $90 for public Ticket Types and $72 for registered member Ticket Types.
