Volume / Tiered Pricing

The Dealers Site supports volume pricing — stepped price breaks that reward dealers for buying in larger quantities. Volume prices are sourced from nFusion's tier data and stored in WooCommerce product meta.

Data Source​

Volume pricing tiers come from nFusion's RetailTiers or WholesaleTiers API fields, depending on the tenant's tier_pricing_source setting.

The Middleware Platform stores tiers as a JSON array in the _volume_pricing WooCommerce meta key:

[
  {"qty": 1,  "ask": 28.50, "markup": 1.50},
  {"qty": 10, "ask": 27.00, "markup": 0.00},
  {"qty": 25, "ask": 26.00, "markup": -1.00}
]

Frontend Display​

Volume pricing tables are rendered on product pages and catalog listings. The wc-volume-pricing-field app widget provides the product admin interface for viewing and overriding tier data.

Cart Logic​

When a dealer adds items to cart, the WooCommerce\Cart module checks the cart quantity for each SKU and applies the appropriate tier price:

  • If cart quantity is between 1–9: applies qty: 1 price
  • If cart quantity is between 10–24: applies qty: 10 price
  • If cart quantity is 25+: applies qty: 25 price

Tier thresholds and prices are tied to current spot prices — they update every time the Middleware sync runs.

Algolia Integration​

Volume pricing tiers are also stored in Algolia under retail_tiers (or wholesale_tiers) so the product browse page can display tier tables without a WooCommerce round-trip.
